Notes to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements

January 31, 2021

(Unaudited – Prepared by Management) (Stated in Canadian dollars)

1. Nature and continuance of operations

Cantex Mine Development Corp. (“Cantex” or the “Company”) is incorporated under the laws of the Province of Alberta and is considered to be in the exploration stage with respect to its mineral properties. To date, the Company has not generated significant revenues from operations and has not yet determined whether its mineral properties contain ore reserves that are economically recoverable. The Company’s common shares are listed on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol “CD”.

The head office, principal address and registered and records office of the Company are located at 203-1634 Harvey Avenue, Kelowna, BC V1Y 6G2.

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared by management on a going concern basis, which assumes the Company will continue in operations for the foreseeable future and be able to realize its assets and discharge is liabilities in the normal course of business. The ability of the Company to continue operations is dependent upon the existence of economically recoverable reserves, successful development of the Company’s mineral properties (Note 4), continued receipt of financial support (Note 8), completion of equity financings (Note 10), and generating profitable operations in the future. It is not possible to predict whether economically recoverable reserves exist, the Company’s financing efforts will be successful, or if the Company will attain a profitable level of operations.

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, 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.

As at January 31, 2021, the Company has incurred cumulative losses of $76,844,835 (July 31, 2020 – $71,721,515) and has working capital of $3,538,044 (July 31, 2020 – $4,550,883). Additional financing will be required for the Company to continue operations. The above conditions may raise significant doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Should the Company be unable to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business, adjustments would be necessary in the carrying values of assets and liabilities.

2. Basis of presentation

(a) Statement of compliance

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting (“IAS 34”) using accounting policies consisted with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”).

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s 2020 annual consolidated financial statements. These interim financial statements do not include all the necessary annual disclosure in accordance with IFRS.

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements were approved for issue by the Audit Committee on March 1, 2021.

(c) Adoption of new and revised standards and interpretations

New Standards Adopted

  • IAS 8 “Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors” – This amendment was adopted as of August 1, 2020 and has been applied in selecting and applying accounting policies, accounting for changes in estimates and reflecting corrections of prior period errors. The standard requires compliance with any specific IFRS applying to a transaction, event or condition, and provides guidance on developing accounting policies for other items that result in relevant and reliable information. Changes in accounting policies and corrections of errors are generally retrospectively accounting for, whereas changes in accounting estimates are generally accounted for on a prospective basis. There was no impact to the financial statements from the adoption of this amendment.

$ 43,885
Prepaid expenses 44,421 113,327
$ 133,476 $ 157,212

4. Mineral property interests

The Company has not yet determined whether any of its mineral properties contain economically recoverable mineral reserves. Although the Company has taken steps to verify title to the mineral properties in which it, through its subsidiary, has an interest, in accordance with industry standards for the stage of exploration of such properties, those procedures do not guarantee the Company’s title.

Title to mining properties involves certain inherent risks due to the difficulties of determining the validity of certain claims as well as the potential for problems arising from the frequently ambiguous conveyancing history characteristic of many mining properties. The Company has diligently investigated rights of ownership of all of the mineral concessions in which it has an interest and, to the best of its knowledge, all agreements relating to such ownership rights are in good standing. However, this should not be construed as a guarantee of title. The concessions may be subject to prior claims, agreements or transfers and rights of ownership may be affected by undetected defects.

(a) Yukon program

As of January 31, 2021, the Company holds 1,075 claim blocks covering 21,500 hectares, which are located approximately 100 km northeast of Mayo, Yukon, Canada. These claims are 100% held by the Company and were acquired by staking.

(b) Yemen program

(i) Exploration license

During 1996, the Company was granted a 52,000 square kilometer (“km[2] “) prospecting permit in the Republic of Yemen. With continued exploration, the Company was able to focus its efforts on progressively smaller areas that demonstrated the potential for economic mineralization. The Company has held an exploration license granting exclusive exploration rights and the right to obtain an exploration contract since 1999. Under the terms of the exploration contract, the Government of the Republic of Yemen has the right to offer to acquire, on commercial terms, an undivided interest of up to 49% in this exploration license. In this event, the Company’s interest (and that of any partner) would be diluted proportionately.

4. Mineral property interests (continued)

  • (b) Yemen program (continued)

  • (i) Exploration license (continued)

In January 2012, the exploration license containing the Al Hariqah project was renewed under the new Yemeni mining code. The new license is valid for an initial four year period and can be renewed for two further four year periods. In addition, the license has been expanded from its original 71 km[2] to 956 km[2] .

  • (ii) Agreement with WCP Resources Ltd.

In December 2011, the Company entered into an agreement with WCP Resources Ltd (“WCP”) wherein WCP can earn an interest in the Al Hariqah gold project by funding advanced exploration and mine development to commercial production. The staged earnin agreement allows WCP to earn up to a 70% interest in the project after funding a minimum of US$30,000,000 over a seven year period.

WCP had two years from February 2012 to exercise an option to commence the earn-in to the project, after which they may earn an initial 40% interest in the project by expending US$5,000,000 within two years. As of May 31, 2014, WCP gave notice that they felt they had reached this 40% level; the Company does not agree with this statement. In October, 2014, WCP gave additional notice that they would no longer be funding the project. Allocation of ownership of the project has not yet been finalized.

In October 2014, the Company, in conjunction with WCP, declared a state of force majeure in regards to the Al Hariqah project. Due to the current political climate, notice was given to the Chairman of the Geological and Mineral Resource Board of Yemen that the Company no longer felt that the project area was secure. Operations at the Al Hariqah site have since ceased; the Company’s current expenditures on the project relate to maintaining our Yemen office and employing office staff to continue to promote our interests in the country.

  • (c) Nevada program

As at January 31, 2021, the Company had four gold exploration claims in the state of Nevada comprised of 86 claims. Reclamation bonds of $63,399 (July 31, 2020 - $8,821) have been posted with the State of Nevada.

The Company’s sole asset retirement obligation is based on its ownership of a remote camp location in the Yukon and right-of-use assets in said location that it will eventually need to be removed. Management estimates the cost to remove the camp structures and equipment, and the estimated time period during which these costs will be incurred in the future. These costs are expected to be incurred in approximately 9 years.

The discounted amount of estimated cash flow required to settle the asset retirement obligation as at January 31, 2021 discounted at a rate of 6.5% is $374,000 (July 31, 2020 –$374,000).

A notice of assessment was received from the Government of Yemen in December 2014 of $432,845USD, which the Company objected to on the basis that incorrect bases were being used in the calculations. The Company provided further evidence to the Government of Yemen regarding the bases used to calculate the assessment and a lower amount was assessed, but not finalized. Due to the state of affairs in Yemen, the Company has not yet been able to finalize payment terms of the assessment, but has accrued the reassessed amount as a liability.

12. Capital management

The Company includes equity (comprising of issued common shares), reserves and deficit, in its definition of capital.

The Company’s objectives when managing capital is to maintain its ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders.

The Company’s primary objective with respect to capital management is to ensure adequate liquid capital resources are in place to fund the exploration of its mineral properties while maintaining its ongoing operations. To secure the additional capital to pursue these plans, the Company may attempt to raise additional funds through the issuance of debt and or equity.

The Company expects its current capital resources will not be sufficient to complete its exploration plans through its current operating period and it will be required to raise additional funds through future equity issuances or secure other financing. To date, the Company has relied on advances from related parties to fund its operations and exploration activities and expects continued financial support through the next twelve months. The Company is currently not subject to externally imposed capital requirements. The Company does not pay out dividends. The Company’s investment policy is to invest its short-term excess cash in secure deposits in large Canadian financial institutions.

12. Financial instruments and risk management

As at January 31, 2021, the Company’s financial instruments are cash, receivables, reclamation bonds, trade and other payables and amounts due to related parties. The amounts reflected in the statement of financial position are carrying amounts and approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature. These financial instruments are classified as follows:

  • Cash and reclamation bonds are comprised of balances held at major financial institutions (in the case of reclamation bonds, these are held through the related government body) that are readily convertible into a known amount of cash and which are only subject to an insignificant risk of change in value, is classified as fair value through profit and loss, and is measured at amortized cost on the statement of financial position at fair value;

  • Receivables are classified as loans and receivables and are initially measured at fair value and subsequent periodic revaluations are recorded at amortized cost using the effective interest method; and

  • Trade and other payables and amounts due to related parties are classified as other liabilities and are initially measured at fair value and subsequent periodic revaluations are recorded at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method.

The Company’s financial instruments are exposed to certain financial risks, including currency, credit, liquidity and price risk.

Fair value is defined as the price what would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

The fair value hierarchy establishes three levels to classify the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.

Level 2 – Quoted prices in markets that are not active, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liabilities.

Level 3 – Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to fair value measurement and unobservable (supported by little or no market activity).

The Company has no financial instruments measured at fair value hierarchy for the years presented.

Currency risk - The Company is exposed to the financial risk related to the fluctuation of foreign exchange rates. The Company operates in Yemen and as such, a portion of its expenses are incurred in the local currency and US dollars. A significant change in the currency exchange rates could have an effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows. The Company has not hedged its exposure to currency fluctuations.

At January 31, 2021, the Company is exposed to currency risk relating to funds held in U.S. dollars, Euros and Yemen rials with a value of approximately $187,905 (July 31, 2020: $620,514). The impact of a 5% change in the exchange rates for these currencies to the Canadian dollar would not materially affect decisions of the Company’s operations plans.

Credit risk - Credit risk is the risk of an unexpected loss if a customer or third party to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The majority of the Company’s cash is held through a large Canadian financial institution with a high investment grade rating.

12. Financial instruments and risk management (continued)

At January 31, 2021, the Company has no financial assets that are past due or impaired due to credit risk defaults. The Company’s receivables consist mainly of mineral property recoveries due from partners and GST receivable due from the Federal Government of Canada. The Company is subject to the risk that its partners will default on amounts owing for their portion of exploration expenditures. To date, the Company has collected all of its related party receivables.

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 manages its liquidity risk through the management of its capital structure and financial leverage as outlined in Note 15 to the consolidated financial statements.

Trade and other payables are generally due within 30 days. No significant amounts are past due.

Amounts due to related parties have no fixed terms of repayment, are unsecured and are noninterest bearing, with the exception of invoices received from CF Minerals. This related party has implemented a policy whereby invoices are due upon receipt and past due accounts may be subject to interest of 1.5% per month. No such payables are included in the balance due as at January 31, 2021 and July 31, 2020.

Price risk - The Company is exposed to price risk with respect to commodity prices which can impact the Company’s ability to raise funding for its exploration and development programs. The Company closely monitors commodity prices to determine the appropriate course of action to be taken by the Company.
