Independent Auditor’s Report
To the Shareholders of: COSIGO RESOURCES LTD.
Opinion
We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Cosigo Resources Ltd. (“the Company”), which comprise the consolidated statements of financial position as at December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 and the consolidated statements of changes in shareholders’ deficiency, comprehensive loss, and cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”).
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 Consolidated 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 consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements, which indicates that the Company incurred a net loss of $82,908 during the year ended December 31, 2019, and as of that date, had accumulated losses since inception of $14,568,157. 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. Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and will not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information identified above and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated 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 this auditors' report. If, based on the work we have performed, 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.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Consolidated financial statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
2
In preparing the consolidated 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 Consolidated financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated 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 consolidated 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 consolidated 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 consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated 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.
The engagement partner on the audit resulting in this independent auditor's report is Mike Kao.

COSIGO RESOURCES LTD. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2019 and 2018 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars)
NOTE 1 – NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND ABILITY TO CONTINUE AS A GOING CONCERN
Cosigo Resources Ltd. (the “Company”) was incorporated on December 21, 1987 in the Province of Alberta and subsequently continued in the province of British Columbia in July 2007, and is engaged in the business of acquisition and exploration of mineral properties. The address of the Company is 3854 Cadboro Bay Road, Victoria, BC, Canada, V8N 4G4.
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards on the basis that the Company is a going concern and will be able to meet its obligations and continue its operations for its next fiscal year. Several conditions as set out below cast uncertainties on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the financial support from its shareholders and other related parties, its ability to obtain financing for the continuing exploration and development of its mineral properties, the existence of economically recoverable reserves, and the attainment of profitable operations or proceeds from disposition of these properties.
The Company has not yet achieved profitable operations, has incurred a net loss of $82,908 during the year ended December 31, 2019, and has accumulated losses of $14,568,157 since inception and a working capital deficiency of $341,513 as at December 31, 2019; accordingly, the Company will need to raise additional funds through future issuance of securities or debt financing. Although the Company has raised funds in the past, there can be no assurance the Company will be able to raise sufficient funds in the future, in which case the Company may be unable to meet its obligations as they come due in the normal course of business. It is not possible to predict whether financing efforts will be successful or if the Company will attain a profitable level of operations.
The current cash resources are not adequate to pay the Company’s accounts payable and to meet its minimum commitments at the date of these consolidated financial statements, including planned corporate and administrative expenses, and other project implementation costs, accordingly, there is significant doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These consolidated financial statements do not give effect to adjustments that would be necessary to the carrying amounts and classifications of assets and liabilities should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
a) Statement of Compliance
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). These audited consolidated financial statements were approved and authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on January 28, 2021.
b) Basis of Preparation
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis except for financial instruments classified as available-for-sale that have been measured at fair value. Cost is the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for net assets.
c) Basis of Consolidation
These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary (collectively, the “Company”). Intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements. The following companies have been consolidated within these consolidated financial statements:

d) Foreign Currency
These consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, which is also the functional currency of the parent company. Each subsidiary determines its own functional currency (Note 2(c)) and items included in the financial statements of each subsidiary are measured using that functional currency.
i) Transactions and Balances in Foreign Currencies
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency of the respective entity using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the re-measurement of monetary items at year-end exchange rates are recognized in profit or loss. Non-monetary items measured at historical cost are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction and are not retranslated. Non-monetary items measured at fair value are translated using the exchange rate at the date when fair value was determined.
ii) Foreign Operations
On consolidation, the assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated into Canadian dollars at the exchange rate prevailing at the reporting date and their revenues and expenses are translated at exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. The exchange differences arising on the translation are recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the currency translation reserve in equity. On disposal of a foreign operation, the component of other comprehensive income relating to that particular foreign operation is recognized in earnings and recognized as part of the gain or loss on disposal.
e) Exploration and Evaluation Assets
All expenditures related to the acquisition of mineral properties are capitalized on a property-by-property basis, net of recoveries which are recorded when received, until these mineral properties are placed into commercial production, sold or abandoned. If commercial production is achieved from a mineral property, the related mineral properties are tested for impairment and reclassified to mineral property in production. If a mineral property is sold or abandoned, the related capitalized costs will be expensed to profit or loss in that period.
All expenditures related to the exploration and evaluation of mineral properties, net of recoveries which are recorded when received, are expensed to net loss in the period in which they are incurred.
From time to time, the Company may acquire or dispose of all or part of its mineral property interests under the terms of property option agreements. Options are exercisable entirely at the discretion of the optionee, and accordingly, option payments are recognized when paid or received. If recoveries are received and exceed the capitalized expenditures, the excess is reflected in profit or loss.

COSIGO RESOURCES LTD. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2019 and 2018 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars)
NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
e) Exploration and Evaluation Assets (Continued)
All capitalized mineral property costs are reviewed at each reporting date, on a property-by-property basis, to consider whether there are any conditions that may indicate impairment. When the carrying value of a property exceeds its net recoverable amount that may be estimated by quantifiable evidence of an economic geological resource or reserve, joint venture expenditure commitments or the Company’s assessment of its ability to sell the property for an amount exceeding the carrying value, provision is made for the impairment in value. The amounts capitalized for mineral properties represent costs incurred to date less write‐downs, and are not intended to reflect present or future values.
Although the Company has taken steps to verify the title to mineral properties in which it has an interest in accordance with general industry standards, these procedures do not guarantee the Company’s title. Such properties may be subject to prior agreements or transfers and, as such, title may be affected.
f) Impairment of Non-Current Assets
The carrying amounts of non-current assets are reviewed for impairment whenever facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. If there are indications of impairment, then the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of any impairment. Individual assets are grouped together as a cash generating unit for impairment assessment purposes at the lowest level at which there are identifiable cash flows that are independent from other group assets.
The recoverable amount of an asset or cash generating unit is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. An impairment loss exists if the asset’s or cash generating unit’s carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount and is recorded as an expense immediately. In assessing the value in use, the estimated future cash flows are adjusted for the risks specific to the cash generating unit and are discounted to their present value with a discount rate that reflects the current market indicators.
Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, to the extent that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized as income immediately.
g) Share Capital
Share capital includes cash consideration received for share issuances, net of commissions and issue costs. Shares issued for other than cash consideration are valued at the quoted price on the TSX Venture Exchange based on the earliest of: (i) the date the shares are issued, and (ii) the date the agreement to issue the shares is reached.
h) Stock-Based Compensation
The fair value method of accounting is used for stock-based compensation transactions. Under this method, the cost of stock options and other stock-based compensation is recorded based on the estimated fair value using the Black-Scholes option pricing model at the grant date and charged to profit over the vesting period. The amount recognized as an expense is adjusted to reflect the number of equity instruments expected to vest.
Upon the exercise of stock options and other stock-based compensation, consideration received on the exercise of these equity instruments is recorded as share capital and the related stock-based compensation reserve is transferred to share capital.
i) Loss per Share
Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares issued and outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted loss per share is the same as basic loss per share, as the issuance of shares on the exercise of stock options and share purchase warrants is anti-dilutive.

NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
j) Related Party Transactions
Parties are considered related if one party has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operating decisions. Parties are also considered related if they are subject to common control. Related parties may be individuals or corporate entities. A transaction is considered a related party transaction when there is a transfer of resources or obligations between related parties.
k) Financial Instruments
The Company adopted all of the requirements of IFRS 9 Financial Instruments on January 1, 2018. IFRS 9 replaces IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. IFRS 9 utilizes a revised model for recognition and measurement of financial instruments in a single, forward-looking “expected loss” impairment model.
Classification
The Company determines the classification of financial assets at initial recognition. The classification of debt instruments is driven by the Company’s business model for managing the financial assets and their contractual cash flow characteristics. Equity instruments that are held for trading are classified as FVTPL. For other equity instruments, on the day of acquisition the Company can make an irrevocable election (on an instrument-byinstrument basis) to designate them as at FVTOCI. Financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost, unless they are required to be measured at FVTPL (such as instruments held for trading or derivatives) or if the Company has opted to measure them at FVTPL.
Measurement - Financial assets and liabilities at amortized cost
Financial assets and liabilities at amortized cost are initially recognized at fair value plus or minus transaction costs, respectively, and subsequently carried at amortized cost less any impairment.
Measurement - Financial assets and liabilities at FVTPL
Financial assets and liabilities carried at FVTPL are initially recorded at fair value and transaction costs are expensed in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. Realized and unrealized gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of the financial assets and liabilities held at FVTPL are included in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income in the period in which they arise.
Impairment of financial assets
The Company recognizes a loss allowance for expected credit losses on financial assets that are measured at amortized cost. At each reporting date, the Company measures the loss allowance for the financial asset at an amount equal to the lifetime expected credit losses if the credit risk on the financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition. If at the reporting date, the financial asset has not increased significantly since initial recognition, the Company measures the loss allowance for the financial asset at an amount equal to twelve month expected credit losses. The Company shall recognize in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income, as an impairment gain or loss, the amount of expected credit losses (or reversal) that is required to adjust the loss allowance at the reporting date to the amount that is required to be recognized
l) Income Taxes
Tax expense recognized in profit or loss comprises the sum of deferred tax and current tax not recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.
11
COSIGO RESOURCES LTD. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2019 and 2018 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars)
NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
l) Income Taxes (Continued)
i) Current Income Tax
Current income tax assets and/or liabilities comprise those claims from, or obligations to, fiscal authorities relating to the current or prior reporting periods that are unpaid at the reporting date. Current tax is payable on taxable profit, which differs from profit or loss in the consolidated financial statements. Calculation of current tax is based on tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.
ii) Deferred Income Tax
Deferred income taxes are calculated using the liability method on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated, without discounting, at tax rates that are expected to apply to their respective period of realization, provided they are enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. Deferred tax liabilities are always provided for in full.
Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that they will be able to be utilized against future taxable income. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only when the Company has a right and intention to offset current tax assets and liabilities from the same taxation authority.
Changes in deferred tax assets or liabilities are recognized as a component of tax income or expense in profit or loss, except where they relate to items that are recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case the related deferred tax is also recognized in other comprehensive income or equity, respectively.
NOTE 3 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS, ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS
In the application of the Company’s accounting policies which are described in Note 2, management is required to make judgments, estimates, and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods, if the revision affects both current and future periods. Significant judgments, estimates, and assumptions that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements are described below.
a) Impairment of Non-Current Assets
The carrying value of mineral property acquisition costs is reviewed each reporting period to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. The determination of the impairment involves the application of a number of significant judgments and estimates to certain variables including metal price trends, plans for properties, and the results of exploration and evaluation to date.
b) Deferred Tax Assets
Deferred tax assets, including those arising from unutilized tax losses, require management to assess the likelihood that the Company will generate sufficient taxable earnings in future periods in order to utilize recognized deferred tax assets. Assumptions about the generation of future taxable profits depend on management’s estimates of future cash flows. In addition, future changes in tax laws could limit the ability of the Company to obtain tax deductions in future periods. To the extent that future cash flows and taxable income differ significantly from estimates, the ability of the Company to realize the net deferred tax assets recorded at the reporting date could be impacted.

December 31, 2019 and 2018 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars)
NOTE 4 – ACCOUNTING STANDARD EFFECTIVE JANUARY 1, 2019
IFRS 16 – Leases
IFRS 16 provides a single lessee accounting model, requiring the recognition of assets and liabilities for all leases, unless the lease term is 12 months or less or the underlying asset has a low value. Lessor accounting remains largely unchanged from IAS 17 “Leases”, and the distinction between operating and finance leases is retained. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019. The Company has determined that this standard has no material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 5 – EXPLORATION AND EVALUATION ASSET
a) Machado Mineral License, Taraira North area, Vaupes Province, Colombia
In August 2007, the Company incorporated Cosigo Frontier Mining Corporation (“CFMC”) to carry out the joint exploration of the Taraira North mineral properties.
In September 2007 the Colombian government accepted the Company’s bid for the Machado Mineral License in the Taraira North area of Colombia, and awarded a mineral rights concession for the bid area. Under the terms of the government contract CFMC paid a fee of approximately $100,000 (196,000,000 Colombian Pesos) for reports with respect to exploration studies carried out by the Colombian government. CFMC also agreed to pay 1% of production revenue to the Colombian government over and above the 4% royalty payable to the Colombian government on all production revenue from the Machado Mineral License.
The Company completed a preliminary exploratory drilling program in 2014, and as at December 31, 2019, continues the process of obtaining environmental licensing to allow for further exploration of the area to define the importance and extent of known gold-bearing zones and to identify additional areas of interest.
b) CN Mineral License, Taraira South area, Vaupes Province, Colombia
In October 2009, the Company paid government fees and acquired a 100% interest in the CN Mineral License in the Taraira South area of Colombia.
In 2015 however, the mineral title was revoked by the government of Colombia based on the government’s claim that the CN mineral project is located within the boundaries of a Colombian National Park. The Company has filed an appeal against the license revocation, and while the appeal process is ongoing, the possibility of the Company getting the mineral title back is uncertain.
c) Damian area, Cauca Province, Colombia
The Company paid government fees to acquire a mineral license in the Damian area, province of Cauca, Colombia. As at December 2019, the license remains valid.

NOTE 10 – CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
The Company manages its share capital as capital, which as at December 31, 2019, was $12,246,924 (2018 - $12,246,924). The Company’s objectives when managing capital are:
- i) to safeguard the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern, so that it can continue to provide return for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders; and
ii) to ensure the entity has the capital and capacity to support a long-term growth strategy.
The Company’s capital structure reflects the requirements of a company focused on significant growth in a capitalintensive industry. The Company faces lengthy development lead times, as well as risks associated with rising capital costs and timing of project completion because of the availability of resources, permits and other factors beyond the Company’s control. The Company’s operations are also affected by potentially significant volatility of the metals and materials cycles.

NOTE 10 – CAPITAL MANAGEMENT (Continued)
Management continually assesses the adequacy of the Company’s capital structure and makes adjustments within the context of its strategy, the base metal mining industry, economic conditions, and the risk characteristics of the Company’s assets. To adjust or maintain its capital structure, the Company may enter into new credit facilities or issue new shares.
The Company has several key policy guidelines for managing its capital structure:
-
i) maintain a liquidity cushion that allows the Company to address operational and/or industry disruptions or downturns;
-
ii) ensure the Company has enough funding to complete its development programs at or around the time a definitive decision is made to move forward with a project; and
-
iii) maintain a conservative level of debt relative to total capital and earnings within the context of financial forecasts for pricing, costs and production.
The Company’s share capital is not subject to external restrictions. The Company has not paid or declared any dividends since the date of incorporation, nor are any contemplated in the foreseeable future. There were no changes in the Company’s approach to capital management during the year ended December 31, 2019.
NOTE 11 – FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES
The Company is exposed to various risks in relation to financial instruments. The Company’s financial assets and liabilities by category are summarized in Note 2(k). The Company’s risk management is coordinated in close cooperation with the board of directors and focuses on actively securing the Company’s short to medium-term cash flows and raising finances for the Company’s capital expenditure program. The Company does not actively engage in the trading of financial assets for speculative purposes. The most significant financial risks to which the Company is exposed are described below.
a) 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 has a working capital deficiency of $1,621,362 as at December 31, 2019. The Company is dependent upon the availability of credit from its suppliers and its ability to generate sufficient funds from equity and debt financing to meet current and future obligations. There can be no assurance that such financing will be available on terms acceptable to the Company.
b) Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. Management considers that risk related to interest is not significant to the Company at this time as the Company has limited short term investments. Amounts owed to related parties are non-interest bearing.
c) Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk of loss associated with a counter party’s inability to fulfill its payment obligations. The Company is in the exploration stage and has not yet commenced commercial production or sales. The Company is not exposed to credit risk.
d) Currency Risk
The Company is exposed to the financial risk related to the fluctuation of foreign exchange rates. The Company operates in Canada, Colombia, and Brazil and as a result, a portion of the Company’s expenditures are in Colombian Pesos and Brazilian Reals. The risk from a significant change in the exchange rate of the Canadian dollar relative to the foreign currencies could have an effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows. However, management believes that the Company’s foreign currency exchange risk is not significant at this time. The Company has not hedged its exposure to currency fluctuations.

NOTE 12 – SUBSEQUENT EVENT – 2020 COVID-19 PANDEMIC
The outbreak of the COVID-19 virus and the worldwide pandemic has impacted the Company’s plans and activities. The Company may face disruption to operations, supply chain delays, travel and trade restrictions, and impacts on economic activity in affected countries or regions can be expected and are difficult to quantify. Regional disease outbreaks and pandemics represent a serious threat to hiring and maintaining a skilled workforce and could be a major health-care challenge for the Company. There can be no assurance that the Company’s personnel will not be impacted by these regional disease outbreaks and pandemics and ultimately that the Company would see its workforce productivity reduced or incur increased medical costs and insurance premiums as a result of these health risks.
In addition, the pandemic has created a dramatic slowdown in the global economy. The duration of the outbreak and the resulting travel restrictions, social distancing recommendations, government response actions, business disruptions and business closures may have an impact on the Company’s exploration operations and access to capital. There can be no assurance that the Company will not be impacted by adverse consequences that may be brought about by the pandemic’s impact on global industrial and financial markets which may reduce metal prices, share prices and financial liquidity thereby severely limiting access to essential capital.
