Copper Road Resources Inc. (Formely Stone Gold Inc.)
Notes to Condensed Interim Financial Statements Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022 (Expressed in Canadian dollars) (Unaudited)
1. Nature of operations and going concern
Copper Road Resources Inc. (formerly Stone Gold Inc.) (the "Company") was incorporated by a Certificate of Incorporation issued pursuant to the provisions of the Ontario Business Corporations Act on December 13, 2002. The Company is engaged in the acquisition, exploration and evaluation of properties for the mining of precious and base metals. The primary office of the Company is located at 82 Richmond Street East, Toronto, Ontario, M5C 1P1.
On September 14, 2022, the Company changed its corporate name from Stone Gold Inc. to Copper Road Resources Inc. The Company's shares commenced trading on the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV") under the new name at the opening of trading on September 15, 2022 and under the new trading symbol "CRD".
The Company has incurred a loss of $1,633,366 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 (nine months ended September 30, 2021 - $553,440) and as at September 30, 2022, had an accumulated deficit of $27,270,810 (December 31, 2021 - $25,825,402). These conditions indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that casts significant doubt as to whether the Company can continue as a going concern.
These unaudited condensed interim financial statements have been prepared on the basis of accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which assume that the Company will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of operations as they come due. In assessing whether the going concern assumption is appropriate, management takes into account all available information about the future, which is at least, but is not limited to, twelve months from the end of the reporting period. These unaudited condensed interim financial statements do not reflect the adjustments to the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the reported expenses and classification of assets and liabilities that would be necessary if the Company were unable to realize its assets and settle its liabilities as a going concern in the normal course of operations for the foreseeable future. These adjustments could be material.
The business of acquisition, exploration and evaluation for minerals involves a high degree of risk and there can be no assurance that the current exploration programs will result in profitable operations.
The Company is in the process of exploring its mineral properties and has not yet determined whether these properties contain mineral reserves that are economically recoverable. The Company’s continued existence is dependent upon the establishment of a sufficient quantity of economically recoverable reserves, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing to complete the development and upon future profitable production or proceeds from the disposition of these assets.
Although the Company has taken steps to verify title to the properties on which it is conducting its exploration activities, these procedures do not guarantee the Company’s title. Property title may be subject to government licensing requirements or regulations, social licensing requirements, unregistered prior agreements, unregistered claims and non-compliance with regulatory and environmental requirements. The Company’s assets may also be subject to increases in taxes and royalties, renegotiation of contracts, currency exchange fluctuations and restrictions, and political uncertainty.
The Company continues to actively monitor the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, including the impact on economic activity and financial reporting. To date, our operations have remained stable as the pandemic continues to progress and evolve but it is difficult to predict the full extent and duration of resulting operational and economic impacts for the Company, which are expected to impact a number of reporting periods.

2. Significant accounting policies
Statement of compliance
The Company applies International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). These unaudited condensed interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 - Interim Financial Reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information required for full annual financial statements required by IFRS as issued by the IASB.
The policies applied in these unaudited condensed interim financial statements are based on IFRSs issued and outstanding as of November 24, 2022, the date the Board of Directors approved the statements. The same accounting policies and methods of computation are followed in these unaudited condensed interim financial statements as compared with the most recent annual financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2021, except as noted below. Any subsequent changes to IFRS that are given effect in the Company’s annual financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2022 could result in restatement of these unaudited condensed interim financial statements.
New accounting standard adopted
IAS 37 – Provisions, Contingent Liabilities, and Contingent Assets was amended. The amendments clarify that when assessing if a contract is onerous, the cost of fulfilling the contract includes all costs that relate directly to the contract – i.e. a full-cost approach. Such costs include both the incremental costs of the contract (i.e. costs a company would avoid if it did not have the contract) and an allocation of other direct costs incurred on activities required to fulfill the contract – e.g. contract management and supervision, or depreciation of equipment used in fulfilling the contract. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on January 1, 2022. At January 1, 2022, the Company adopted this standard and there was no material impact on the Company's unaudited condensed interim financial statements.
Future accounting standards
IAS 1 - Presentation of Financial Statements ("IAS 1") was amended in January 2020 to provide a more general approach to the classification of liabilities under IAS 1 based on the contractual arrangements in place at the reporting date. The amendments clarify that the classification of liabilities as current or non-current is based solely on a company’s right to defer settlement at the reporting date. The right needs to be unconditional and must have substance. The amendments also clarify that the transfer of a company’s own equity instruments is regarded as settlement of a liability, unless it results from the exercise of a conversion option meeting the definition of an equity instrument. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on January 1, 2023.
