1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS
Ashanti Sankofa Inc. (the “Company” or “ASI”) through its wholly-owned subsidiary AMI Africa Exploration Ltd. (“AMI Africa”), both resident Canadian companies, and its wholly owned Ghanaian subsidiary Ashanti Sankofa Limited (“Ashanti”) is engaged primarily in gold exploration activity in West Africa.
The head office and the principal address of the Company is located at Suite 908 - 938 Howe Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6Z 1N9 and the records office and registered office is located at Suite 700 - 838 West Hastings Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6C 2A0.
The Company holds interests in mineral properties and has not yet determined whether these properties contain reserves that are economically recoverable.
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on the assumption that the Company will continue as a going concern, meaning it will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize assets and discharge liabilities in the ordinary course of operations. Different bases of measurement may be appropriate if the Company is not expected to continue operations for the foreseeable future. The Company has incurred a net loss of $23,929 for the period ended August 31, 2021 and has incurred cumulative losses since inception of $14,104,457. As at August, 2021, the Company had negative working capital of $442,122, had not advanced its mineral properties to commercial production and is not able to finance day to day activities through operations. The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent upon the successful results from its mineral property exploration activities and its ability to attain profitable operations and generate funds there from and/or raise equity capital or borrowings sufficient to meet current and future obligations and ongoing operating losses. These uncertainties cast significant doubt on the ability of the Company to continue operations as a going concern. Management intends to finance operating costs over the next twelve months with loans from directors and companies controlled by directors and/or private placement of common shares. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from this uncertainty.
On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic and has adversely affected global workforces, financial markets, and the general economy. It is not possible for the Company to determine the duration or magnitude of the adverse results of COVID-19 nor its effects on the Company’s business or operations. The Company anticipates this could have an adverse impact on its business, results of operations, financial position and cash flows in 2021.
2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Statement of compliance
These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 – Interim Financial Reporting as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). Accordingly, certain disclosures included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the IASB have been condensed or omitted and these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended February 28, 2021. The condensed consolidated interim financial statements were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on July 26, 2021.

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION (Continued)
Significant estimates and assumptions
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The Company’s management reviews these estimates and underlying assumptions on an ongoing basis, based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Revisions to estimates are adjusted for prospectively in the period in which the estimates are revised.
Estimates and assumptions where there is significant risk of material adjustments to assets and liabilities in future accounting periods include the recoverability of the carrying value of exploration and evaluation assets, fair value measurements for financial instruments, and the recoverability and measurement of deferred tax assets.
Significant judgments
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires the Company to make judgments, apart from those involving estimates, in applying accounting policies. The most significant judgments applying to the Company’s financial statements include: the assessment of the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and whether there are events or conditions that may give rise to significant uncertainty; the classification/allocation of expenditures as exploration and evaluation expenditures or operating expenses; and the classification of financial instruments.
Accounting standards and interpretations issued but not yet effective
The Company has reviewed the accounting standards or amendments to existing accounting standards that have been issued but have future effective dates and determined that these are either not applicable or are not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.
3. FINANCIAL AND CAPITAL RISK MANAGEMENT
The Company has determined the estimated fair values of its financial instruments based on appropriate valuation methodologies; however, considerable judgment is required to develop these estimates. The fair values of the Company’s financial instruments are not materially different from their carrying values.

3. FINANCIAL AND CAPITAL RISK MANAGEMENT (Continued)
Management of Industry and Financial Risk
The Company is engaged primarily in mineral exploration and manages related industry risk issues directly. The Company may be at risk for environmental issues and fluctuations in commodity pricing. Management is not aware of and does not anticipate any significant environmental remediation costs or liabilities in respect of its current operations.
The Company’s financial instruments are exposed to certain financial risks, which include the following:
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of loss due to the counterparty's inability to meet its obligations. The Company’s exposure to credit risk is on its cash and other receivables. Risk associated with cash is managed through the use of major banks which are high credit quality financial institutions as determined by rating agencies. Other receivables comprise sales tax refunds from the Canadian federal government.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulties in meeting obligations when they become due. The Company ensures that there is sufficient capital in order to meet short-term operating requirements, after taking into account the Company’s holdings of cash. The Company’s cash are held in corporate bank accounts available on demand. Liquidity risk has been assessed as being high.
Market Risk
Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risk comprises three types of risk: currency risk, interest rate risk and price risk.
Currency Risk
The Company is subject to normal market risks including fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and interest rates. While the Company manages its operations in order to minimize exposure to these risks, the Company has not entered into any derivatives or contracts to hedge or otherwise mitigate this exposure.
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. The Company is not exposed to significant interest rate risk relating to its related party balances (Note 7).
Price Risk
The Company is exposed to price risk with respect to equity prices. Price risk as it relates to the Company is defined as the potential adverse impact on the Company’s ability to raise financing due to movements in individual equity prices or general movements in the level of the stock market. The Company closely monitors individual equity movements and the stock market to determine the appropriate course of action to be taken by the Company.
