IC CAPITALIGHT CORP.
(FORMERLY INTERNATIONAL CORONA CAPITAL CORP.)
Consolidated Financial Statements
For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018
Expressed in Canadian Dollars
Independent Auditor's Report
To the Shareholders of IC Capitalight Corp. (formerly International Corona Capital Corp.):
Opinion
We have audited the consolidated financial statements of IC Capitalight Corp. (formerly International Corona Capital Corp.) and its subsidiary (the "Company"), which comprise the consolidated statement of financial position as at December 31, 2019 and the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income, changes in shareholders' (deficit) equity and cash flows for the year 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 consolidated financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2019 and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit 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 $849,146 and had negative operating cash flows of $239,045 during the year ended December 31, 2019 and, as of that date, the Company’s accumulated deficit was $7,016,381. 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 Matter
The financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018 were audited by auditor who expressed an unmodified opinion on those statements on March 8, 2019.
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 we do 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 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 auditor’s report. If, based on the work we have performed on this other information, 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 International Financial Reporting Standards, 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.
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.
-
Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Company to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
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.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
The engagement partner on the audit resulting in this independent auditor's report is Blair Michael Mabee.

IC Capitalight Corp. (formerly International Corona Capital Corp.) Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018
1. Nature of Operations and Going Concern
IC Capitalight Corp. (formerly International Corona Capital Corp.) (the “Company”) is incorporated under the British Columbia Business Corporations Act and has a fiscal year-end of December 31. The Company’s registered office is at 2200 HSBC Building, 885 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, BC, V6C 3E8.
On October 2, 2019, the Company completed the change of business transaction whereby the company changed its name from International Corona Capital Corp. to IC Capitalight Corp., acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Murenbeeld & Co. Inc. (“Murenbeeld”) and certain fixed income debentures of Stone Investment Group Limited (“Stone Debentures”).
Prior to the change of business, the Company was focused on the exploration and development of mineral projects. Subsequent to the change of business, the Company will operate as a merchant bank that pursues value-based investment opportunities in accordance with its internal investment policies. The Company’s focus is to provide shareholders with long-term capital growth by investing in a portfolio of undervalued companies, assets, or investment vehicles within the mineral resource and other sectors. The investments are expected to generate operating cash flows, dividend income and investment returns for the Company.
The acquisition of Murenbeeld, which operates a subscription research business focused on the gold sector, is expected to generate operating cash flows for the Company once it achieves profitability. The Company has retained its portfolio of mineral exploration projects but has yet to generate any revenue or cash flows from mining or exploration projects. The Company does not pay dividends and is unlikely to do so in the immediate or foreseeable future.
These consolidated financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on May 11, 2020.
Corporates Structure
IC Capitalight Corp. owns 100% of Murenbeeld, an Ontario company, which was acquired on October 2, 2019.
Going Concern Assumption
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business.
During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company incurred a net loss of $849,146 and had negative operating cash flows of $239,045. As of that date, the Company’s accumulated deficit was $7,016,381. These factors indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern
In assessing whether the going concern assumption is appropriate, management considers 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's ability to continue operations and fund its exploration and development expenditures is dependent on management's ability to secure additional financing. Management is actively pursuing such additional sources of financing, and while it has been successful in doing so in the past, there can be no assurance it will be able to do so in the future. The Company has not obtained the necessary permits to begin construction and has not commenced commercial operation of a mine. These conditions cast 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 should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern and therefore need to realize its assets and liquidate its liabilities and commitments in other than the normal course of business and at amounts different from those in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. These adjustments could be material.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
Statement of compliance with IFRS
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) and International Accounting Standards (“IAS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and interpretations issued by the IFRS Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”). The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year with the exception of the adoption of IFRS 16 which was effective on January 1, 2019.
The accounting policies applied in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 are set out below.
IC Capitalight Corp. (formerly International Corona Capital Corp.) Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018
2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Basis of measurement
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost basis except for certain financial instruments that are measured at fair values, as explained in the accounting policies below.
Basis of consolidation
These consolidated financial statements include the financial position, results of operation and cash flows of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Murenbeeld. Intercompany balances, transactions, income and expenses, profits and losses, including gains and losses relating to the subsidiary have been eliminated on consolidation.
Significant accounting estimates, judgments and assumptions
To prepare consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS, the Company must make estimates, judgements and assumptions concerning the future that affect the carrying values of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported values of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. By their nature, these are uncertain and actual outcomes could differ from the estimates, judgments and assumptions.
The impacts of such estimates are pervasive throughout the consolidated financial statements and may require accounting adjustments based on future occurrences. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised and also in future periods when the revision affects both current and future periods. Significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis.
Significant assumptions about the future and other sources of estimation uncertainty that management has made at the end of the reporting period, that could have an effect on the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements relate to the following:
Going concern: The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgments and estimates regarding the ability to continue as a going concern.
Business Combination: The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgments and estimates regarding the fair value of the acquired assets and liabilities.
Impairment: The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgments regarding the impairment of the fair value of financial assets carried at amortized costs.
Fair value of private investments (level 3): The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgments regarding the fair value of the private company investments held by the Company. Where the fair values of investments cannot be derived from active markets, they are determined using a variety of valuation techniques. The inputs to these models are derived from observable market data where possible, but where observable market data are not available, management’s judgment is required to establish fair values.
Deferred taxes: The estimation of income taxes includes evaluating the recoverability of deferred tax assets based on an assessment of the Company’s ability to utilize the underlying future tax deductions against future taxable income prior to expiry of those deductions. Management assesses whether it is probable that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income, which in turn is dependent upon the successful discovery, extraction, development and commercialization of mineral reserves. To the extent that management’s assessment of the Company’s ability to utilize future tax deductions changes, the Company would be required to recognize more or fewer deferred tax assets, and deferred tax provisions or recoveries could be affected

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Financial instruments
Management determines the classification of financial assets and financial liabilities at initial recognition and, except in very limited circumstances, the classification is not changed subsequent to initial recognition. The classification depends on the purpose for which the financial instruments were acquired, their characteristics and/or management’s intent. Transaction costs with respect to instruments not classified as fair value through profit or loss are recognized as an adjustment to the cost of the underlying instruments and amortized using the effective interest method.
The Company’s financial instruments were classified in the following categories:
Financial assets
Financial assets, measured at fair value through profit or loss:
-
Cash and cash equivalents
-
Investments
An instrument is classified as fair value through profit or loss if it is held for trading or is designated as such upon initial recognition. A financial asset is classified as fair value through profit or loss if acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the short term or if so, designated by management. Financial instruments included in this category are initially recognized at fair value and transaction costs are taken directly to earnings along with gains and losses arising from changes in fair value.
Derivative instruments, including embedded derivatives, are recorded at fair value unless exempted from derivative treatment as normal purchase and sale. All changes in their fair value are recorded through profit or loss.
Loans and receivables, measured at amortized cost:
-
Accounts receivable
-
Amounts receivable, excluding HST
Cash on hand and balances at bank and advances and loans receivable are initially recognized at fair value net of transaction costs and are subsequently measured at amortized cost. Interest revenue on advances and loans receivable are recognized using the effective interest method.
Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities, measured at fair value through profit or loss:
An instrument is classified as fair value through profit or loss if it is designated as such upon initial recognition. Financial instruments included in this category are initially recognized at fair value and transaction costs are taken directly to earnings along with gains and losses arising from changes in fair value.
Derivative instruments, including embedded derivatives, are recorded at fair value unless exempted from derivative treatment as normal purchase and sale. All changes in their fair value are recorded through profit or loss.
Other financial liabilities, measured at amortized cost:
- Accounts payable and accrued liabilities
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities are initially recognized at fair value net of transaction costs and are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.
The financial instrument measurement hierarchy, for financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value through profit and loss at each reporting date, is as follows:
All financial instruments are required to be measured at fair value on initial recognition. For those financial assets or liabilities measured at fair value through profit and loss at each reporting date, financial instruments and liquidity risk disclosures require a three-level hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the fair value measurements. These levels are defined below:
IC Capitalight Corp. (formerly International Corona Capital Corp.) Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018
2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
-
Level 1: Determined by reference to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date; or
-
Level 2: Valuations using inputs other than the quoted prices for which all significant inputs are based on observable market data, either directly or indirectly; or
-
Level 3: Valuations using inputs that are not based on observable market data.
Both the binomial and Black Scholes valuation techniques are permitted under IFRS for fair value calculations.
The impairment of financial assets, carried at amortized costs, is as follows:
At each reporting date, the Company assesses whether there is any objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired. A financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired if there is objective evidence that the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or the group of financial assets have been negatively impacted. Evidence of impairment may include indications that debtors are experiencing financial difficulty, default or delinquency in interest or principal payments, or other observable data which indicates that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows.
If an impairment loss has occurred, the loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future expected credit losses that have not yet been incurred). The present value of the estimated future cash flows is discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate. If a financial asset has a variable interest rate, the discount rate for measuring any impairment loss is the current effective interest rate.
The carrying amount of the asset is reduced through the use of an allowance account, and the loss is recognized in financing expense. Interest income continues to be accrued on the reduced carrying amount using the rate of interest used to discount the future cash flows for the purpose of measuring the impairment loss. The interest income is recorded as part of financing income. Loans together with the associated allowance are written off when there is no realistic prospect of future recovery and all collateral has been realized or has been transferred to the Company.
If, in a subsequent year, the amount of the estimated impairment loss increases or decreases because of an event occurring after the impairment was recognized, the previously recognized impairment loss is increased or reduced by adjusting the allowance account. If an impairment is later recovered, the recovery is credited to financing income.
The Company recognizes a loss allowance for the expected credit losses associated with its financial assets. Expected credit losses are measured to reflect a probability-weighted amount, the time value of money, and reasonable and supportable information regarding past events, current conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions.
The Company applied the simplified approach for accounts receivable. Using the simplified approach, the Company records a loss allowance equal to the expected credit losses resulting from all possible default events over the assets contractual lifetime. The Company assesses whether a financial asset is credit-impaired at the reporting date. For financial assets assessed as credit-impaired at the reporting date, the Company continues to recognize a loss allowance equal to lifetime expected credit losses.
Loss allowances for expected credit losses are presented in the consolidated statement of financial position as follows;
- For financial assets measured at amortized cost, as a deduction from the gross carrying amount of the financial asset
Financial assets are written off when the Company has no reasonable expectation of recovering all or any portion thereof.
The derecognition of financial assets and liabilities is as follows:
A financial asset is derecognized when its contractual rights to the cash flows that compose the financial asset expire or substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset are transferred.
A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged, cancelled or expired. Gains and losses on derecognition are recognized within financing income and financing expense, respectively.

For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018
2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Business Combination
A business combination is a transaction or event in which an acquirer obtains control of one or more businesses. A business is an integrated set of activities and assets that is capable of being conducted and managed for the purpose of providing goods or services to customers, generating investment income (such as dividends or interest), or generating other income from ordinary activities.
A business combination is accounted for using the acquisition method. The acquisition method has four steps: identifying the acquirer; determining the acquisition date; recognizing and measuring at fair value on the acquisition date the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree; and, recognizing and measuring goodwill or a gain from a bargain purchase. Goodwill is recognized as the aggregate consideration transferred less the acquisition value of net assets acquired. Identifiable intangible assets acquired in a business combination are recognized separately from goodwill. An intangible asset is considered identifiable if it meets either the separability criterion or the contractual-legal criterion. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are also recognized and measured. Acquisition related costs are expensed as incurred, except those incurred to issue debt or equity securities.
Private company investments
All privately held investments (including options, warrants and conversion features) are initially recorded at the transaction price, being the fair value at the time of acquisition. At the end of each reporting period, the fair value of an investment may (depending upon the circumstances) be adjusted using one or more of the valuation indicators described below. These are included in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy (see Note 4).
The determination of fair value of the Company’s privately held investments at other than initial cost, is subject to certain limitations. Financial information for private companies in which the Company has investments, may not be available and, even if available, that information may be limited and/or unreliable.
Use of the valuation approach described below may involve uncertainties and determinations based on management’s judgment and any value estimated from these techniques may not be realized or realizable.
Company-specific information is considered when determining whether the fair value of a privately held investment should be adjusted upward or downward at the end of each reporting period. In addition to company-specific information, the Company will also consider trends in general market conditions and the share performance of comparable publicly traded companies when valuing privately held investments.
The fair value of a privately held investment may be adjusted if:
-
i. There has been a significant subsequent equity financing provided by outside investors at a valuation different than the current value of the investee company, in which case the fair value of the investment is set to the value at which that financing took place;
-
ii. There have been significant corporate, political or operating events affecting the investee company that, in management’s opinion, have a material impact on the investee company’s prospects and therefore its fair value. In these circumstances, the adjustment to the fair value of the investment will be based on management’s judgment and any value estimated may not be realized or realizable;
iii. The investee company is placed into receivership or bankruptcy; iv. Based on financial information received from the investee company, it is apparent to the Company that the investee company is unlikely to be able to continue as a going concern;
v. Release by the investee company of positive/negative operational results; and vi. Important positive/negative management changes by the investee company that the Company’s management believes will have a very positive/negative impact on the investee company’s ability to achieve its objectives and build value for shareholders.
Adjustments to the fair value of a privately held investment will be based upon management’s judgment and any value estimated may not be realized or realizable. The resulting values for non-publicly traded investments may differ from values that would be realized if a ready market existed.
In addition, the amounts at which the Company’s privately held investments could be currently disposed of may differ from the carrying value assigned.

Impairment of Non-Current Assets
At each reporting date, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there are any indications of impairment. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment, if any. The recoverable amount is determined as the higher of fair value less direct costs to sell and the asset’s value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value. The pre-tax discount rate applied to the estimated future cash flows reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the future cash flow estimates have not been adjusted. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount through an impairment charge to the statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss).Assets that have been impaired are tested for possible reversal of the impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the impairment may have reversed. When an impairment subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but only so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined (net of depreciation, depletion and amortization) had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior periods. A reversal of impairment is recognized as a gain in the statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss).
Revenue Recognition
The following describes Murenbeeld’s principal activities from which it generates revenue.
Subscription Revenue
Murenbeeld generates revenue from providing subscription services to proprietary research. Performance obligations are satisfied upon delivery of the weekly and monthly publications which are distributed through email.
Revenue is recognized over the useful life of the subscription, or the time frame which the customers have access to the publications. This provides a faithful depiction of the transfer of goods and services to the client as the subscription directly relates to these performance obligations. There have been no changes to the revenue recognition policy since Murenbeeld’s incorporation.
Consideration is typically due from receipt of the invoice. The transaction price is determined by the type of customer as well as a fair price to pay for the subscription services to be rendered. This is determined through management’s judgment as well as negotiations with customers.
Paid-for Research Revenue
Murenbeeld generates revenue from providing custom paid-for proprietary research. Performance obligations are satisfied upon delivery of the custom research report to the client. Revenue is recognized upon delivery to the client.
Consideration is typically due from receipt of the invoice. The transaction price is determined by the type of customer as well as a fair price to pay for the subscription services to be rendered. This is determined through management’s judgment as well as negotiations with customers.
Deferred Revenue
Deferred revenue consists of the remaining performance obligations relating to subscription or paid-for research revenues.
Share Capital
Common shares are classified as equity. Transaction costs directly attributable to the issue of common shares and stock options are recognized as a deduction from equity, net of any tax effects.

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Flow-through shares
The Company has issued flow-through common shares to finance a portion of its mineral exploration programs. Pursuant to the terms of the flow-through share agreements, these shares transfer the tax deductibility of qualifying Canadian exploration expenditures (“CEE’s”). Upon issuance, the Company reclassifies the flow-through share into i) a flow-through share premium, equal to the estimated premium, if any, that flow-through investors paid for the flow-through feature, which is recognized as a liability, and ii) the common share capital. Upon qualifying CEE’s being incurred, the Company derecognizes the liability and recognizes the gain through other income. The tax deductibility is transferred to the flow-through investor through a renunciation that is filed at the end of the tax year during which the flow-through shares were issued. The Company may also be subject to a Part XII.6 tax on flow-through expenditures renounced under the Look-back Rule, in accordance with Government of Canada flow-through regulations. When applicable, this tax is accrued as a financial expense until paid.
Foreign Currency Translation
The functional and reporting currency is the Canadian dollar for the Company and its subsidiary. Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are translated using the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date or at an average rate. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rate of exchange in effect at the statement of financial position date. Nonmonetary items are translated using the historical rate on the date of the transaction. Foreign exchange gains and losses are included in the statement of operations and comprehensive (loss) income.
Current Income Tax
Current income tax assets and liabilities for the current period are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted, at the reporting date. Current income tax relating to items recognized directly in other comprehensive (loss) income or equity is recognized in other comprehensive (loss) income or equity and not in profit or loss. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in the tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulations are subject to interpretation and establishes provisions where appropriate.
Deferred Income Tax
Deferred tax is recognized in respect of all qualifying temporary differences arising between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and recognized only to the extent that it is probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax asset to be utilized. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. Deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities are offset, if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current income tax liabilities and the deferred income taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.
(Loss) Income Per Share
Basic loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The treasury stock method is used for the calculation of diluted loss per share, whereby all “in the money” stock options and share purchase warrants are assumed to have been exercised at the beginning of the period and the proceeds from their exercise are assumed to have been used to purchase common shares at the average market price during the period. When a loss is incurred during the period basic and diluted loss per share are the same as the exercise of stock options and share purchase warrants is considered to be anti-dilutive.
Comprehensive Income (Loss)
Comprehensive income (loss) is the change in the Company’s net assets that results from transactions, events and circumstances from sources other than the Company’s shareholders and includes items that are not included in the statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Share-based Payments
The grant date fair value of share-based payment awards granted to employees is recognized as share-based payments expense, with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period that the employees unconditionally become entitled to the awards. The amount recognized as an expense is adjusted to reflect the number of awards for which the related service and non- market vesting conditions are expected to be met, such that the amount ultimately recognized as an expense is based on the number of awards that do meet the related service and non-market performance conditions at the vesting date. For share-based payment awards with non-vesting conditions, the grant date fair value of the share-based payment is measured to reflect such conditions and there is no true-up for differences between expected and actual outcomes.
Where equity instruments are granted to parties other than employees, they are recorded by reference to the fair value of the services received. If the fair value of the services received cannot be reliably estimated, the Company measures the services received by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments granted, measured at the date the counterparty renders service.
All equity-settled share-based payments are reflected in the share-based payment reserve, unless exercised. Upon exercise, shares are issued from treasury and the amount reflected in the share-based payment reserve is credited to share capital, adjusted for any consideration paid.
Exploration and Evaluation Assets
The Company records its interests in mineral properties and areas of geological interest at cost. All direct and indirect costs related to the acquisition of these interests are capitalized on the basis of specific claim blocks or areas of geological interest until the properties to which they relate are placed into production, sold or management has determined there to be impairment in value. The amounts shown for exploration and evaluation assets represent costs, net of impairment write-offs.
Mineral Exploration and Development Costs
Exploration costs are charged to operations as incurred.
Accounting standards adopted
The following accounting standards have been adopted for the annual period beginning on January 1, 2019:
In January 2016, the IASB issued IFRS 16, Leases (“IFRS 16”). IFRS 16 eliminates the current dual model for leases, which distinguishes between on-statement of financial position finance leases and off- statement of financial position operating leases. Instead, there is a single, on-statement of financial position accounting model that is similar to current finance lease accounting. IFRS 16 is effective for periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019. The Company adopted IFRS 16 as at January 1, 2019, there was no impact on the consolidated financial statements as the Company does not hold any leases.
In October 2017, the IASB issued amendments to IFRS 9 to address the classification of certain pre-payable financial assets. The amendments clarify that a financial asset that would otherwise have contractual cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest but do not meet that condition only as a result of a prepayment feature with negative compensation may be eligible to be measured at either amortized cost or fair value through other comprehensive income. This classification is subject to the assessment of the business model in which the particular financial asset is held as well as consideration of whether certain eligibility conditions are met. The amendments are effective for periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019 and did not have any effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2019.
In June 2017, IFRIC 23 was issued to specify how to reflect the effects of uncertainty in accounting for income taxes. The interpretation aims to reduce the diversity in how entities recognize and measure a tax liability or tax asset when there is uncertainty over income tax treatments. The new interpretation is effective for periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019 and did not have any effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2019.

4. Investments
On October 2, 2019, pursuant to a debenture purchase agreement with a third-party, the Company issued common shares for the purpose of completing the acquisition for investment purposes of 750 unlisted debenture units issued by Stone Investment Group Limited, a private company. The closing of this acquisition was completed subsequent to December 31, 2019 (see note 18) . As of December 31, 2019, the common shares were held in an account controlled by the Company and the debentures were held in an account controlled by the vendor. As such, the value of the common shares was recognized on the statement of financial position as a prepaid investment deposit.
On October 2, 2019, pursuant to a debenture purchase agreement with a related party, the Company issued common shares and completed the acquisition for investment purposes of 1,347 unlisted debenture units and 112,810 common shares issued by Stone Investment Group Limited, a private company, which were recognized on the statement of financial position as an investment at the fair market value of the consideration.
Each debenture unit consists of a $1,000 debenture and 600 common share purchase warrants exercisable at $0.68 per common share until maturity of the debenture. The debentures pay 7.5% interest per annum, payable in cash quarterly, and mature on December 28, 2021. Additional deferred interest will be paid at maturity of the debentures.
The Company’s investments portfolio consisted of the following securities as at December 31, 2019:

4. Investments (continued)
Within Level 3, the Company included private company investments and other investment instruments such as convertible debentures and loans which are not quoted on a recognized securities exchange. The key assumptions used in the valuation of these instruments include, but are not limited to, the value at which a recent financing was done by the investee, company-specific information, trends in general market conditions and the share performance of comparable publicly traded companies.
The following table presents the valuation techniques and the nature of significant inputs used to determine the fair values of the Level 3 investments as at December 31, 2019:
| Investments | Total Fair | Method | Unobservable inputs | Range of inputs and impact |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Value | ||||
| $ | ||||
| Debenture units | 807,874 | Internal model based on | Discount rate and credit | +/- 5% would result in |

| cash flows, expected yield and | increase of $60,543 | |||
| credit ratings | ||||
| Common shares | - | Transaction price |
Market price | $nil |
| 807,874 |
Within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, for those investments valued based on recent transactions, management has determined that there are no reasonably possible alternative assumptions that would change the fair value significantly as at December 31, 2019 and 2018.
The sensitivity analysis is intended to reflect the uncertainty inherent in the valuation of these investments under current market conditions, and its results cannot be extrapolated due to non-linear effects that changes in valuation assumptions may have on the fair value of these investments. Furthermore, the analysis does not indicate a probability of such changes occurring and it does not necessarily represent the Company’s view of expected future changes in the fair value of these investments.
Acquisition of debenture units
In accordance with the debenture acquisition agreements, the Company acquired debentures units with a face value of $1,397,000 at a fair market price of $807,874. The shares are subject to lock-up and escrow pursuant to which 10% was released on the date of the transaction and 15% each six-month period from the closing date up to thirty-six months. The share consideration was recorded at a fair value of $0.06 per share less a discount related to the fair value of the common shares held in escrow using the Black Scholes option pricing model with the following inputs: share price and exercise price of $0.06, volatility of 77% based on comparable companies, terms of six, twelve, eighteen, twenty-four, thirty and thirty-six months, and a risk free rate of 1.5%
The valuation model for the debenture units and the common shares followed the private company investment accounting policy disclosed in note 2 and the Level 3 fair value hierarchy disclosed above. As at December 31, 2019, the debenture has an effective annual interest rate of 39.1%.
| Fair value of shares issued (19,790,000 shares at $0.06 per share) for acquisition of 1,347 debenture units | $ 1,187,400 |
|---|---|
| Fair value of shares issued escrow period discount | $ (379,526) |

5. Business Combination
On October 2, 2019, the Company completed a change of business transaction and pursuant to a purchase agreement acquired all the common shares of Murenbeeld (the “Transaction”).
The Company is deemed to be the acquirer and Murenbeeld is deemed to be the acquiree under the Transaction. Murenbeeld meets the definition of a business, therefore, the transaction is accounted under IFRS 3 Business Combinations. Management determined that no material adjustments are necessary to conform Murenbeeld’s accounting policies to the accounting policies used by the Company in the preparation of its financial statements. The consideration has been allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition.
Under the terms of the Transaction, the Company acquired Murenbeeld from Bluespring Investment Strategies Inc (“Bluespring”), a related party, for $400,000 through the issuance of 6,666,667 common shares at a price of $0.06 per common share. The shares are subject to lock-up and escrow pursuant to which 10% was released on the date of the transaction and 15% each six-month period from the closing date up to thirty-six months. The fair value of the share consideration was recorded at $0.06 per share less a discount related to the fair value of the common shares held in escrow using the Black Scholes option pricing model with the following inputs: share price and exercise price of $0.06, volatility of 77% based on comparable companies, terms of six, twelve, eighteen, twenty-four, thirty and thirty-six months, and a risk free rate of 1.5%. The total fair value of the share consideration issued was $272,149. The Company also issued 916,666 common shares to Bluespring for the settlement of management fees (note 9), included in accrued liabilities below.
The following table summarizes the fair value of the net assets acquired as part of the Murenbeeld acquisition (see note 5). The valuation was performed by the Company based on the internal appraisals of the fair value of each of the assets and liabilities that were acquired. The excess of the costs of the Murenbeeld acquisition over the net assets and liabilities that were acquired has been recognized as intangible assets representing the value of the Murenbeeld brand and goodwill.
The purchase price allocation is summarized as follows:
| Fair value of shares issued for acquisition of Murenbeeld (6,666,667 shares at $0.06 per share) | $ 400,000 |
|---|---|
| Fair value of escrow period discount | (127,851) |
| Totalcosts of acquisition | $272,149 |
| Allocated as follows: | |
| Cash | $ 25,637 |
| Accounts receivables | 10,316 |
| Amounts receivables | 18,838 |
| Prepaid expenses | 9,840 |
| Accounts payable and accrued liabilities | (368,837) |
| Deferred revenues | (96,992) |
| Net liabilities assumed | (401,198) |
| Recognition of Murenbeeld brand value | 63,000 |
| Recognition of Murenbeeld goodwill | 189,000 |
| Impairment | 421,347 |
| Total | $272,149 |
The assessment of the purchase price allocation is based on management's current knowledge of the business of Murenbeeld. The value of the Murenbeeld brand was determined using a 6% relief from royalty valuation model will be amortized over a period of five years although no amortization was recognized during the year ended December 31, 2019. The value of the Murenbeeld goodwill was determined using a value in use valuation model and is primarily related to personnel and future growth. None of the goodwill arising on this acquisition is deductible for tax purposes. Goodwill is tested for impairment immediately as at acquisition and an impairment of goodwill of $421,347 was recorded in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive (loss) income for the year ended December 31, 2019. The allocation is preliminary and may change as more information becomes available. The change, if any, may be significant.

For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018
5. Business Combination (continued)
The Murenbeeld acquisition contributed revenues of $81,330 to consolidated net revenues and a net loss of $33,161 to consolidated net loss from the date of acquisition to December 31, 2019. If the acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2019, management estimates that Murenbeeld’s contribution would have been $282,825 to consolidated net revenues and a net loss of $144,540 to consolidated net loss for the year ended December 31, 2019.
The key assumptions used in the value in use are those related to discount rates and revenue growth rates. The values of these assumptions reflect past experience. The after tax weighted average cost of capital was determined to be 17% (pre-tax of 23%) and is based on a risk-free rate, an equity premium adjusted for betas of comparable publicly traded companies, an unsystematic risk premium, an after-tax cost of debt based on the capital structure of publicly traded companies. The value in use model used revenue growth rates of 5% to 15%, with a long-term growth rate of 1.9%.

Retty Lake Property
On June 30, 2008, the Company entered into an option agreement to earn a 100% interest in the Retty Lake copper-nickel-PGM exploration property, which is located near Schefferville, Quebec.
On February 12, 2013, the Company completed the earn-in by issuing 1,800,000 common shares and by incurring exploration expenditures on the property totaling $1,855,000.
The Retty Lake Property is subject to a 3% net smelter return royalty (“NSR”) from the sale of mineral products from the Retty Lake Property following the commencement of commercial production less allowable deductions. The NSR is subject to a buy-back right of the Company to repurchase the NSR for $3,000,000 and in the event the holder intends to sell all or part of the NSR, the Company has the right to require the holder to sell all or part of the NSR to the Company (the “NSR ROFR”) on the terms and conditions set out in a notice which will be open for acceptance by the Company for a period of 30 days from receipt of the notice.
During the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company elected to write-down the carried value of the property to $1.
Schefferville Property
On June 15, 2011, the Company acquired a 55% interest in the Schefferville Gold Property by completing $800,000 in exploration work, making cash payments totaling $60,000 and issuing 300,000 common shares to Western Troy Capital Resources Inc (“Western Troy”) to complete the earn-in. Upon earn-in the Company and Western Troy Capital Resources Inc formed a joint venture. As per the joint venture agreement, upon completion of a Scoping Study, the Company at its sole election may earn an additional 15% interest (the “Additional Interest”) by solely funding a Bankable Feasibility Study. The Company must notify Western Troy in writing of its election to exercise its right to earn the Additional Interest before the Bankable Feasibility Study is initiated or before Western Troy has provided any funds for such Bankable Feasibility Study. If Western Troy's interest in the Joint Venture is 35% or less at the time of the notice, the Company may only earn a maximum of 80% interest in the Property by funding the Bankable Feasibility Study.
Under the Schefferville Gold Property Agreement, the Company is entitled to include additional expenditures for management supervision and administrative services of the Company equal to 10% of all expenditures made or incurred by the Company.
Upon receipt of a Bankable Feasibility Study, the parties to the joint venture will formally commit to fund mine construction on a pro rata basis and demonstrate funding to meet such obligation in a timely fashion. If either party is unable to meet its obligation at the construction decision point, such party’s interest in the Property will be diluted in accordance with the dilution formula, and the diluting party will still be required to demonstrate partial funds available, subject to a further dilution as defined in the agreement. If the diluting party is unable to provide funding in order to maintain a 10% or above interest in the joint venture, its interest will then automatically be converted to a 2% NSR Royalty. Western Troy will retain a minimum 2% NSR Royalty in the Property of which 1% can be purchased for $1,000,000 by the Company at any time.

11. Stock Options
The Company’s stock option plan is restricted to a maximum of 10% of the issued and outstanding common shares. Under the stock option plan, the Company may grant stock options to directors, officers, employees and consultants. The Board of Directors administers the plan and determines the vesting and terms of each grant.
The Black-Scholes option valuation model is used by the Company to determine the fair value of stock option grants based on the market price, the exercise price, compound risk free interest rate, annualized volatility and number of periods until expiration. Each stock option entitles the holder to purchase one common share of the Company at the respective exercise price prior to or on the respective expiration date.
As of December 31, 2019, the Company had Nil stock options issued and outstanding with a weighted average expiration of 0.0 years (2018: 0.61 years) which are exercisable into Nil common shares (2018: 300,000 common shares) at a weighted average exercise price of $0.00 (2018: $0.06). All stock options that are currently outstanding vested on the grant date.

15. Financial Instruments and Risks
The following disclosures are to enable users of the consolidated financial statements to evaluate the nature and extent of risks arising from financial instruments at the end of the reporting period:
Credit risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of accounts receivables. The Company mitigates its credit risk on receivables through a review of the counterparties in which they do business.
The Company has credit risk arising from the potential from counterparty default on cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and amounts receivable, excluding HST. The Company manages this risk by ensuring that deposits are only held with large Canadian banks and financial institutions. The Company manages this risk by reviewing the credit worthiness of material new customers, monitors customer payment performance and, where appropriate, reviews the financial condition of existing customers.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its obligations associated with financial liabilities. Liquidity risk arises from the Company’s financial obligations and in the management of its assets, liabilities and capital structure. The Company manages this risk by regularly evaluating its liquid financial resources to fund current and long-term obligations and to meet its capital commitments in a cost-effective manner.
The main factors that affect liquidity include working capital requirements, capital-expenditure requirements and equity capital market conditions. The Company’s liquidity requirements are met through a variety of sources, including cash and cash equivalents and equity capital markets.
As at December 31, 2019, the Company had a cash and cash equivalents balance of $645,775 (December 31, 2018 - $45,184) to settle accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $568,567 (December 31, 2018 - $11,101).
Based on management’s assessment of its past ability to obtain required funding, the Company believes that it will be able to satisfy its current and long-term obligations as they come due.
Market risks
Market risk is the potential for financial loss from adverse changes in underlying market factors, including foreign exchange rates, commodity prices and interest rates.
-
Interest rate risk is the sensitivity of the fair value or of the future cash flows of a financial instrument to changes in interest rates. The Company does not have any financial assets or liabilities that are subject to variable interest rates.
-
Commodity price risk is the sensitivity of the fair value of, or of the future cash flows, from mineral assets. The Company manages this risk by monitoring mineral prices and commodity price trends to determine the appropriate timing for funding the exploration or development of its mineral assets, or for the acquisition or disposition of mineral assets. The Company does not have any mineral assets at the development or production stage carried at historical cost. The Company has expensed the acquisition and exploration costs of its exploration stage mineral assets.
-
Currency risk is the sensitivity of amounts denominated in foreign currencies. The Company enters into certain transactions with customers and suppliers denominated in U.S. dollars for which the related revenues, expenses, cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable balances are subject to exchange rate fluctuations. As at December 31, 2019 and 2018, the following items are denominated in U.S. dollars (expressed in CAD in the table below):
| As at | As at | |
|---|---|---|
| December 31, | December 31, | |
| 2019 | 2018 | |
| Cash | $ 19,572 | $ - |
| Accounts receivable | 2,318 | - |
| Accounts payable | 10,394 | - |
| Total | $32,284 | $- |
A 10% change in foreign exchange rates, would have an impact of $945 (2018 - $nil).

16. Capital Management
There were no changes in the Company's approach to capital management during the year ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.
In managing liquidity, the Company’s primary objective is to ensure the entity can continue as a going concern while raising additional funding to meet its obligations as they come due. The Company’s operations to date have been funded by issuing equity. The Company expects to improve the working capital position by securing additional financing.
The Company’s investment policy is to provide shareholders with long-term capital growth by investing in a portfolio of undervalued companies, assets, or equity investment vehicles in the subscription research, recurring revenue, mineral exploration and asset management sectors of the North American market, but may also include investments in certain other sectors, including technology, transportation, and restructuring. Financial instruments are exposed to certain financial risks, which may include currency risk, credit risk, liquidity risk and interest rate risk.
The Company’s mineral property interests are all in the exploration stage, as such the Company is dependent on external financing to fund its exploration activities and administrative costs. Management continues to assess the merits of mineral properties on an ongoing basis and may seek to acquire new properties or to increase ownership interests if it believes there is sufficient geologic and economic potential.
Management mitigates the risk and uncertainty associated with raising additional capital in current economic conditions through cost control measures that minimizes discretionary disbursements and reduces exploration expenditures that are deemed of limited strategic value.
The Company manages the capital structure (consisting of shareholders’ equity) on an ongoing basis and adjusts in response to changes in economic conditions and risks characteristics of its underlying assets. Adjustments to the Company’s capital structure may involve the issuance of new shares, assumption of new debt, acquisition or disposition of assets, or adjustments to the amounts held in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments.
The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements other than the flow-through spending commitment.
Working capital balance
As at December 31, 2019, the Company had a working capital surplus of $176,253 (2018: surplus of $72,750).

18. Subsequent Events
Since December 31, 2019, the outbreak of the novel strain of coronavirus, specifically identified as “COVID-19”, has resulted in governments worldwide enacting emergency measures to combat the spread of the virus. These measures, which include the implementation of travel bans, self-imposed quarantine periods and social distancing, have caused material disruption to businesses globally resulting in an economic slowdown. Global equity markets have experienced significant volatility and weakness. Governments and central banks have reacted with significant monetary and fiscal interventions designed to stabilize economic conditions. The duration and impact of the COVID-19 outbreak is unknown at this time, as is the efficacy of the government and central bank interventions. It is not possible to reliably estimate the length and severity of these developments and the impact on the financial results and conditions of the Company in future periods.
On January 28, 2020, the Company announced the completion of a shares for debt settlement whereby the Company settled total indebtedness of $44,636 by issuing 892,707 common shares.

On January 24, 2020, the Company announced that 2,700,000 incentive stock options have been granted to directors, officers and employees pursuant to the Company's stock option plan. The options have an exercise price of CAD $0.05 per share and are exercisable for a period of five years unless terminated pursuant to the terms of the stock option plan.
On April 8, 2020, pursuant to a debenture purchase agreement with an arm’s length third-party, the Company completed the acquisition for investment purposes of 750 unlisted debenture units issued by Stone Investment Group Limited, a private company. The consideration consisted of the 8,437,500 common shares issued on October 2, 2019 at $0.06 per share, recorded on the consolidated statement of financial position as at December 31, 2019 as a prepaid investment deposit, and a deferred payment of $345,000 to be paid in cash upon the maturity of the underlying debentures on December 28, 2021. The Company now owns 17.48% of the total debentures issued by Stone Investment Group Limited (note 4).
