ROUGHRIDER EXPLORATION LIMITED NOTES TO THE CONDENSED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2021 (Unaudited - Expressed in Canadian dollars)

1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN

Roughrider Exploration Limited (“ Roughrider ” or the " Company ") was incorporated on December 7, 2011 under the British Columbia Business Corporations Act. The Company is listed on the TSX Venture Exchange (“ TSX-V ”) as a Tier 2 Mining Issuer. The principal business of the Company is the exploration and evaluation of mineral properties. The principal focus of the Company is exploring its portfolio of mineral properties, including the Empire Mine property located on northern Vancouver Island, British Columbia (“ BC ”) and the Golden Triangle properties in central BC, its sole operating and geographical segment.

The address of the Company’s head office is Suite 904 - 409 Granville Street, Vancouver, BC, Canada, V6C 1T2. The address of the Company’s registered office is 2500 - 700 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, BC, Canada, V7Y 1B3.

These condensed interim financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The Company realized a loss of $165,968 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 (2020: $88,414). As at March 31, 2021, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $6,548,735. In assessing whether the going concern assumption is appropriate, management takes into account all available information about the future, which is at least, but not limited to, twelve months from the end of the reporting period.

The Company has incurred operating losses in its exploration operations and its ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the discovery of economically recoverable mineral reserves, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing to complete their development and fund their operations until commercially successful and future production or proceeds from the disposition thereof. While the Company has been successful in securing financing to date, there can be no assurances that it will be able to do so in the future, therefore, a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

These condensed interim financial statements do not reflect the adjustments to the carrying values of assets and liabilities, the reported expenses and the statement of financial position classifications that would be necessary if the going concern assumption was inappropriate. These adjustments could be material.

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.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION

These condensed interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 – Interim Financial Reporting (“ IAS 34 ”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“ IASB ”) using accounting principles consistent with International Financial Reporting Standards (“ IFRS ”) as issued by the IASB.

These condensed interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 which include the accounting policies used in the preparation of these condensed interim financial statements.

These condensed interim financial statements were prepared on a historical cost basis using the accrual basis of accounting, except for cash flow information.

ROUGHRIDER EXPLORATION LIMITED NOTES TO THE CONDENSED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2021 (Unaudited - Expressed in Canadian dollars)

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION (continued)

The Board of Directors (the “ Board ”) approved these financial statements on May 20, 2021.

3. MARKETABLE SECURITIES

Marketable securities are financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss (“ FVTPL ”) and consist of an investment of 500,000 common shares of Goldplay Mining Inc. (“ Goldplay ”) (see Note 4(a)(iii)), a private company as at March 31, 2021. The Company received the 500,000 common shares on November 26, 2020. There was no unrealized gain or loss recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The fair value of marketable securities has been determined by the price of concurrent financings completed by Goldplay.

A summary of the changes in FVTPL investments is presented below:

Balance December 31, 2020 and March 31, 2021 $ 25,000

4. EXPLORATION AND EVALUATION ASSETS

a) BRITISH COLUMBIA

i) EMPIRE MINE PROPERTY

On September 22, 2020, the Company entered into an option agreement to acquire a 100% interest in the Empire Mine property (the “ Empire Option Agreement ”) from Mirva Properties Ltd. (“ Mirva ”). The Empire Mine property consists of mineral claims (the “ Greater Empire Claims ”) and crown grants (the “ Quatsino Crown Grants ”) all located in the Rupert District on northern Vancouver Island, BC, near Port McNeill.

In order to earn a 100% interest in the Greater Empire Claims, the Company must make aggregate cash payments of $750,000, issue 3,000,000 common shares of the Company to Mirva and complete work commitments totaling $2,000,000 over a four year period, as follows:


follows:
Work
Cash payment Share issuance commitment
$ $
Upon regulatory approval 50,000 (paid) 200,000 (issued) N/A
By first anniversary 100,000 400,000 200,000 (completed)
By second anniversary 150,000 600,000 400,000
By third anniversary 200,000 800,000 600,000
By fourth anniversary 250,000 1,000,000 800,000

In order to earn a 100% interest in the Quatsino Crown Grants, the Company must pay Mirva the equivalent of $500,000 with either a cash payment or equivalent value in common shares of the Company, at the Company’s election, on or before the fifth anniversary date of the Empire Option Agreement.

Mirva has retained a 2% net smelter return (“ NSR ”) royalty on the Empire Mine property, of which 1% may be purchased for $1,000,000 at any time up to 120 days after commencement of commercial production. The Empire Option Agreement has been structured such that this NSR royalty plus all other NSR royalties which may currently exist and be payable on the Empire Mine property will not exceed in aggregate 2.5% before buydowns.

The properties are located in the Golden Triangle area of northern BC.

Certain claims on the Eldorado property are subject to a 2% NSR royalty, of which Cazador owns 50%.

iii) SCOTTIE WEST PROPERTY

In 2020, the Company staked the Scottie West property located in the Golden Triangle area of northern BC, near the District of Stewart.

On November 20, 2020, the Company entered into an farm-out agreement with Goldplay whereby Goldplay can earn a 70% interest in the Company’s Scottie West property by making aggregate cash payments of $500,000, issuing common shares of Goldplay to the Company with a total value of $500,000 and incurring a minimum of $1,000,000 of exploration expenditures on the property over a four year period.

Upon Goldplay’s successful completion of the farm-out, the Company and Goldplay will form a joint venture on the property. The Company will retain a 2% NSR royalty of which Goldplay can repurchase 1% of the NSR royalty for $2,000,000 at any time after a production decision has been made.

Pursuant to the farm-out agreement, the Company received an initial cash payment of $25,000 from Goldplay. In addition, the Company received 500,000 common shares of Goldplay, valued at $25,000. The Company recorded the common shares as marketable securities.

During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company received an amount of $15,391 from Goldplay as reimbursement for certain exploration expenditures the Company incurred in 2020. The Company recorded this amount as miscellaneous income.

There were no non-cash investing and financing transactions for the three months ended March 31, 2021.

7. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT

The Company examines the various financial instruments to which it is exposed and assesses the impact and likelihood of those risks. These risks include credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk (including interest rate, currency and other price risk). The risk related to financial instruments is managed by senior management of the Company under directions approved by the Board. The Company’s Board has not approved the use of derivative financial products.

Financial instruments

Cash, receivables and accounts payable and accrued liabilities are carried at amortized cost. The Company considers that the carrying amount of these financial assets and liabilities measured at amortized cost to approximate their fair value due to the short-term nature of the financial instruments. Marketable securities are measured using level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Fair value estimates of financial instruments are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant information about financial markets and specific financial instruments. As these estimates are subjective in nature, involving uncertainties and matters of significant judgment, they cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions can significantly affect estimated fair values.

Financial risk factors

The Company’s risk exposures and the impact on the Company’s financial statements is summarized below:

a) Credit risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a significant concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash and receivables. The Company limits its exposure to credit loss by placing its cash with a major Canadian bank. The Company’s only significant receivable at March 31, 2021 relates to a goods and services tax refund from the Government of Canada, who is not considered a default risk.

b) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company cannot meet its financial obligations associated with financial liabilities in full. The Company is exposed to liquidity risk and manages it through the management of its capital structure, as outlined below. All of the Company’s current financial liabilities are anticipated to mature within the next fiscal period. The Company intends to settle these with funds from its positive working capital position. The Company remains exposed to liquidity risk.

c) Market risk

Market risk is the risk of loss that may arise from changes in market factors such as interest rates, commodity prices, equity prices, and foreign currency fluctuations.

Page 13 of 1 6

ROUGHRIDER EXPLORATION LIMITED NOTES TO THE CONDENSED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2021 (Unaudited - Expressed in Canadian dollars)

7. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT (continued)

c) Market risk (continued)

(i) Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk on cash is minimal because these investments generally have a fixed yield rate. As at March 31, 2021, the Company did not have any interest-bearing debt.

(ii) Foreign currency risk

The Company could be exposed to foreign currency risk on fluctuations related to cash, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities that are denominated in a foreign currency. As at March 31, 2021, the Company did not have any significant exposure to foreign currencies and so considers foreign currency risk insignificant to the Company at present.

(iii) Price risk

The Company may at times have limited indirect exposure to price risk with respect to commodity and equity prices.
