NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the three months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 (unaudited, expressed in U.S. dollars)

1. Nature of Operations

Fiore Gold Ltd. (the “Company” or “Fiore Gold”) is an Americas-focused gold producer and explorer with the producing Pan Mine in Nevada, as well as a suite of evaluation and exploration projects in Nevada and Washington. The Company is listed on the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSX-V”) under the symbol “F” in Canada and on the OTCQB in the United States under the symbol “FIOGF”. The address of its registered and records office is 400-725 Granville Street, P.O. Box 10325, Vancouver, British Columbia, V7Y 1G5.

Fiore Gold operates the Pan gold mine (“Pan”), which is a heap leach project. The Gold Rock property is an evaluation-stage project and the Golden Eagle property is an exploratory-stage project, both have identified gold mineralization.

These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by management on a going concern basis, which assumes that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the next twelve months. The Company had net income of $4.50 million for the three months ended December 31, 2020 (2019 – $0.59 million). As of December 31, 2020, the Company had $19.22 million in cash and cash equivalents and working capital of $39.50 million.

The Company considers itself to operate in a single segment, being the production of gold and mineral exploration and development of resources. The Company’s principal product is gold doré produced by Pan in Nevada. The Company’s significant non-current assets as of December 31, 2020 were all within the United States.

The condensed interim consolidated financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on February 23, 2021.

2. Basis of Preparation and Significant Accounting Policies

Statement of Compliance

These condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months ending December 31, 2020 are prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 - Interim Financial Reporting as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). As the condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not include all disclosures required by the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) for annual financial statements, they should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2020.

Basis of Presentation

These condensed consolidated financial statements are expressed in U.S. dollars (“USD” or “$”), unless otherwise noted, rounded to the nearest thousand, and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis except for certain financial instruments, which are measured at fair value through profit or loss. The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared based on the Company’s accounting policies set out in Note 2 of the annual audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2020.

Comparative Figures

Certain of the comparative figures have been reclassified to conform to the presentation in the current year.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Fiore Gold Ltd. and its subsidiaries as listed below.

Name of Subsidiary Country of Incorporation Ownership Interest
Fiore Gold (US) Inc. USA 100%
Fiore Exploration Ltd. Canada 100%
GRP Pan, LLC USA 100%
GRP Gold Rock, LLC USA 100%

GRP Services, LLC USA 100%
Fiore Atacama SpA Chile 100%
Fiore Andes SpA Chile 100%

All intercompany transactions, balances, revenue and expenses have been eliminated in full on consolidation.

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Significant areas requiring the use of management estimates include the metal content, recovery rates and valuation of ore on leach pads, the determination of impairment of mineral properties, equipment and mine development, the determination of proven and probable reserves, useful lives of assets used for depreciation and depletion, income and mining taxes and the recognition of realizable future tax assets, and the determination of reclamation and environmental obligations. Actual results, as determined by future events, may differ from these estimates.

We consider an accounting estimate to be critical if it requires significant management judgments and assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the time the estimate is made and if changes in the estimate that are reasonably possible could materially impact the Company’s financial statements.

COVID-19

Through December 31, 2020, the Company has continued with all efforts to safeguard the health of its employees, while continuing to operate safely and responsibly maintain employment and economic activity. Despite the Company’s proactive actions taken to maintain a safe workplace, there is the possibility that future developments from the COVID-19 pandemic could negatively impact operations or the supply chain leading to potential actions such as reduced mining and production activities at the Pan Mine. This could have a material adverse impact on our cash flows, earnings, and financial position.

While we have not experienced any significant negative impacts to date, ongoing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic could significantly affect judgements, estimates and assumptions made by management. This includes, but is not limited to, the Company’s valuation of inventory, long-term assets, estimation of reclamation provisions, estimation of mineral reserves and resources, and estimation of income and mining taxes.

The estimated future value of undiscounted reclamation and abandonment costs of $10.78 million were discounted using a rate of 11.45% from the time the obligation was incurred to the time the Company expects to pay the retirement obligation on a going concern basis. During the year ended September 30, 2020, the Company revised the estimated undiscounted cash flows with updates in the expected timing of cash flows in respect of the provision based on the estimated life of the mining operations, and updated and revised equipment and labor rates from independent third-party contractors covering the entirety of the reclamation plan for the Pan Mine.

The Company is required to post bonds with the Bureau of Land Management (“BLM”) for reclamation of planned mineral exploration and development programs associated with the Company’s mineral properties located in the United States. As of December 31, 2020, and September 30, 2020, the Company had surety contracts in place for required reclamation bonds covering the Company’s exploration projects.

As a part of the permitting process for the Pan project, as of December 31, 2020 the Company continues to be required to have a reclamation bond in place, currently with the value of approximately $15.98 million, held with the BLM which is based upon the Nevada Standardized Reclamation Cost Estimator, the Division of Environmental Protection – Bureau of Mining Regulation and Reclamation approved standardized cost estimator. The Company has purchased a surety contract for the reclamation bond, which required collateral to be posted into an escrow account as security for abandonment and remediation obligations. A $6.52 million reclamation deposit is held within the collateral account, which has been recorded in reclamation deposits on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position as of December 31, 2020. As of September 30, 2020, the reclamation deposit balance within the collateral account was $6.51 million.

The Company is required to maintain the reclamation bond, or post adequate cash collateral, until all abandonment and remediation obligations have been completed to the satisfaction of the BLM. The surety contract names the Company and several of its subsidiaries as indemnitors to the surety agreement. The surety may require additional collateral to be placed into the reclamation deposit account at their discretion.

(e) Stock Appreciation Rights (SARs)

The Plan provides for stock appreciation rights payable in cash. A SAR is the right to receive an amount equal to the Spread with respect to a share of the Company’s common stock upon the exercise of the SAR. The “Spread” is the difference between the exercise price per share specified in a SAR agreement on the date of grant and the fair market value per share on the date of exercise of the SAR. The exercise price per share will not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant of the SAR.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the three months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 (unaudited, expressed in U.S. dollars)

On October 27, 2020, the Company granted, pursuant to the Plan, 250,000 SARs to selected employees of the Company. The exercise price of each such SAR is $1.61, which was the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. The SARs become exercisable in three installments on each of the first, second and third anniversaries of the grant date, subject, in each case, to the applicable SAR holder being continuous employed by the Company on the applicable vesting date. The SARs expire three months after the final vesting and may be settled only in cash.

The Company recognizes compensation expense and a corresponding liability for the fair value of the SARs over the requisite service period for each SAR award. The SAR’s are revalued at each reporting date and any changes in fair value are reflected in income as of the applicable reporting date.

The fair value of SAR awards was estimated using the Black-Scholes model with the following assumptions as of December 31, 2020:

December 31, 2020
Risk-Free Interest Rate 0.17 %
Expected Life (in Years) 3.03

11. Revenues

The Company’s primary source of revenue is the sale of gold from the production of gold doré. Gold doré is unrefined gold bullion buttons usually consisting of 80% to 90% gold that is refined to pure gold bullion prior to sale to our customers. The Company has contracts with two customers for its gold doré sales and a third customer for gold bearing material sales. For sales of metals from refined doré, the performance obligation is met, the transaction price is known, and revenue is recognized at the time of transfer of control of the agreed-upon metal quantities to the customer by the refiner.

All of the Company’s sales are considered to occur in one demographic market, the United States.

Pan Mine Sage Grouse Mitigation

The Mitigation Plan included in the Final Environmental Impact Statement for the Pan Mine provides for the certain mitigation of actual impacts of the project to sage grouse habitat. As part of its mitigation measures, the Pan Mine provided funding to the United States Geological Survey (“USGS”) for five years of sage grouse study. The Company is allowed to credit its funded portion of the USGS sage grouse study up to 50% of any applicable offsite compensatory mitigation for sage grouse habitat. Consistent with the Mitigation Plan, a wildlife working group consisting of the Bureau of Land Management, Nevada Division of Wildlife and the Company was formed following completion of the USGS study to determine any specific off-site mitigation. The wildlife working group remains in discussions regarding these matters. The Company cannot measure the obligation, if any, with sufficient reliability relating to this matter because, among other reasons, the wildlife working group has not yet determined the sage grouse habitat directly impacted by the Pan Mine.

17. Management of Financial Risk

The Company has exposure to credit risk, liquidity risk and market risks from its use of financial instruments. Information regarding the Company’s exposure to each of these risks, the Company’s objectives, policies and processes for measuring and managing each risk is below. Risk management is the responsibility of the Company’s management team, while the Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Company’s risk management framework.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the three months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 (unaudited, expressed in U.S. dollars)

a) Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair Value

Cash and cash equivalents, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and accrued payroll and related benefits approximate their fair value due to their short-term nature. The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, prepaid expenses and other current assets, other long-term assets, reclamation deposits, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, accrued payroll and related benefits, and derivatives (when applicable). Cash and cash equivalents, prepaid expenses and other current assets, other long-term assets and reclamation deposits are designated as financial assets at amortized cost. Accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and accrued payroll and related benefits are designated as financial liabilities at amortized cost. Derivatives are designated as fair value through profit or loss. Assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible. The Company determines fair value based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability in the principal or most advantageous market. When considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, the following fair value hierarchy distinguishes between observable and unobservable inputs, which are categorized in one of the following levels:

  • Level 1 Inputs: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities accessible to the reporting entity at the measurement date.

  • Level 2 Inputs: Other than quoted prices included in Level 1 inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

  • Level 3 Inputs: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available, thereby allowing for situations in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at measurement date.

During the three months ended December 31, 2020 and year ended September 30, 2020 there were no transfers between level 1, level 2 and level 3 classified assets and liabilities.

b) Credit Risk

Credit risk is the risk of potential loss to the Company if a customer or third party to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Company's credit risk is attributable to cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and gold option collars. Cash and cash equivalents are held by Canadian chartered banks and American financial entities. Gold option collars, when outstanding, are held with one of our Customers. The carrying amount of financial assets recorded in the financial statements represents the Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk.

The Company limits its exposure to credit risk on liquid financial assets through investing its cash and cash equivalents with high-credit quality financial institutions.

c) Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due.

d) Market Risk

  • i. Foreign Currency Risk

The Company’s functional and reporting currency is the U.S. dollar with the majority of major purchases transacted in the U.S. dollar. However, the Company operates in more than one country, as a result, a portion of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities are denominated in Canadian dollars or Chilean pesos. The Company monitors this exposure, but has no contractual hedge positions. Financial assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2020 in Canadian dollars or Chilean pesos are as follows, stated in thousands of U.S. dollars:

Chilean Peso
**Canadian Dollar ** Total
Cash and Cash Equivalents $ 10 $ 198 $ 208
Prepaid Expenses and Other Assets 1 18 19

Accrued Liabilities
(5) (182) (187)
Total $ 6 $ 34 $ 40

Based on the Company’s currency exposures relating to foreign currency denominated monetary items, as of December 31, 2020, a 5% appreciation of the U.S. dollar against the Chilean peso would have resulted in less than a $0.01 million loss and a 5% appreciation of the U.S. dollar against the Canadian dollar would have resulted in a $0.01 million gain.

ii. Other Price Risk

Management has concluded that the Company’s greatest price risk exposure is fluctuations in precious metal prices, particularly gold. The volatility of precious metal prices represents a substantial risk, which no amount of planning or technical expertise can fully eliminate. In the event gold prices decline or remain low for prolonged periods of time, the Company may be unable to develop its properties, which could adversely affect the Company’s results of operations, financial performance and cash flows. A 5% decrease in the market price of gold would have resulted in a decrease in the Company’s revenue during the three months ended December 31, 2020 of approximately $0.86 million.

18. Capital Management

The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern in order to support its normal operating requirements, continue the operations, development, exploration, and evaluation of its mineral properties, support any expansionary plans and to maintain a flexible capital structure which optimizes the costs of capital at an acceptable risk. The Company manages and adjusts its capital structure based on available funds to support operations and the exploration and development of its mineral properties. The Company manages the capital structure and adjusts considering changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the Company’s assets.

To effectively manage its capital requirements, the Company has in place a planning and budgeting process to help determine the funds required to ensure the Company has the appropriate liquidity to meet its operating and growth objectives. The annual budget is approved by the Board of Directors. The Company may finance acquisition, development and exploration activity through cash flows from operations, joint ventures, by taking on debt or share capital when market conditions are suitable. Management reviews its capital management approach on an ongoing basis and believes that its approach, given the relative size of the Company, is reasonable.
