ScoZinc Mining Ltd. NOTES TO CONDENSED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2020 (EXPRESSED IN CANADIAN DOLLARS) (UNAUDITED)

1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN

Scozinc Mining Ltd. (the “Company” or “ScoZinc”), and its wholly owned subsidiary Scozinc Limited (collectively, the “Group”) is engaged in base metals mining and related activities, including the exploration and evaluation of mineral property interests that are considered to have the potential for economic mineralization and development. The Company is a public company, which is listed on the TSX Venture Exchange and incorporated and domiciled in Canada. The address of its registered office is Purdy's Wharf, 1959 Upper Water Street, Suite 1301, Nova Scotia, B3J 3N2.

The condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes the Group will continue in operation through the fiscal year and into the foreseeable future and will be able to realize assets and discharge its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of operations at the amounts stated in the consolidated financial statements.

The Company has not generated revenue from operations. The Company has incurred a net loss of $ 700,372 for the six months ended June 30, 2020 (six months ended June 30, 2019 - $500,144), and as of that date has an accumulated deficit of $69,108,280 (December 31, 2019 - $68,407,908). As at June 30, 2020, cash amounted to $ 471,474 (December 31, 2019 - $519,138) and the Company had a working capital deficiency of $(297,654) (December 31, 2019 - working capital of $198,556). The ability of the Company to carry out its planned business objectives is dependent on its ability to raise adequate financing from lenders, shareholders and other investors and/or generate operating profitability and positive cash flow. There can be no assurances that the Company will continue to obtain the additional financial resources necessary and/or achieve profitability or positive cash flows. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate financing, the Company will be required to curtail operations, and development activities and there would be significant uncertainty whether the Company would continue as a going concern and realize its assets and settle its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business.

At June 30, 2020, the Company did not have sufficient cash on hand to meet all planned exploration, development, general expenses and property payments for the next twelve months. The Company plans to raise additional capital to further develop and explore its project, however the Company may increase or decrease expenditures as necessary to adjust to a changing capital market environment.

The above factors indicate the existence of material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern.

The condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. If management is unsuccessful in securing capital, the Company’s assets may not be realized or its liabilities discharged at their carrying amounts and these differences could be material.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

10. DECOMMISSIONING LIABILITY

The Company has agreed with the Province of Nova Scotia (Department of Natural Resources) to remediate the Scotia Mine facility to an agreed status at the completion of the mining operations at the site. The Company believes that the reclamation of the mine site will cost $2,600,000. As the Scotia Mine facility is currently not in production and under care and maintenance, the Company has accrued the full amount potentially due.

On May 29, 2020, the Company closed a third and final tranche of a non-brokered private placement of units of the Company (“Units”), with previous tranches having been closed on April 22, 2020 and May 22, 2020. The aggregate gross proceeds of the private placement was $1,150,000 based on the issuance of 3,833,333 Units at a price of $0.30 per Unit. Each Unit consists of one common share of the Company and a common share purchase warrant (a “Warrant”). Each full Warrant is exercisable into a common share at a price of $0.50 per common share for a period of twenty-four months from the date of issue.

In connection with the private placement the Company paid cash finder’s fees of $18,759 and issued 62,531 compensation warrants as share issue costs, with each compensation warrant having the same terms as the Warrants issued as part of a Unit. Total cash costs of issue were $55,328.

Directors, officers and other insiders of the Company subscribed 1,256,620 Units, for gross proceeds of $376,986.

The fair value of the 3,833,333 warrants issued in conjunction with this private placement is $723,837, as calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: a 24 months expected life; share price of $0.50; 124% expected volatility; risk free interest rate of between 0.28% and 0.33%; and an expected dividend yield of 0%. Volatility is calculated based on the changes in historical stock prices over the expected life of the warrants.

The fair value of the 62,531 broker warrants issued in conjunction with this private placement is $10,577, as calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:a 24 months expected life; share price of $0.50; 124% expected volatility; risk free interest rate of between 0.28% and 0.33%; and an expected dividend yield of 0%. Volatility is calculated based on the changes in historical stock prices over the expected life of the warrants.

12. SHARE BASED PAYMENTS

a) Stock Option Plan

A stock option plan (“Plan”) was established to provide incentive to qualified parties to increase their proprietary interest in the Company and thereby encourage their continuing association with the Company. Each year, shareholders of the Company approve the Plan at the Annual General Meeting. The Plan provides that the Board of Directors of the Company may from time to time, in its discretion, grant to directors, officers, employees and consultants of the Company, or any subsidiary of the Company, the option to purchase common shares. The Plan provides for a floating maximum limit of 10% of the outstanding common shares of the common shares as permitted by the policies of the TSXV. Options under the Plan have five-year terms with vesting as determined by the Board.

Share option activity for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 are as follows:

These options are subject to vesting at a rate of 25% every six months.

On June 28, 2020, the Company granted 228,000 options to purchase common shares of the Company to officers and employees of the Company.

13. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

COVID-19

Due to the worldwide COVID-l9 outbreak, material uncertainties may come into existence that could influence management's going concern assumption. Management cannot accurately predict the future impact COVID-19 may have on:

  • Global metal prices;

  • The severity and the length of potential measures taken by governments to manage the spread of the virus and their effect on labour availability and supply lines;

  • Availability of essential supplies;

  • Purchasing power of the Canadian dollar; and

  • Ability to obtain funding.

At the date of the approval of these consolidated financial statements, the Canadian government has not introduced measures which impede the activities of the Company. Management believes the business will continue and accordingly, the current situation bears no impact on management's going concern assumption. However, it is not possible to reliably estimate the length and severity of these developments and the impact on the financial results and condition of the Company in future periods.

14. BASIC AND DILUTED LOSS PER SHARE

Basic loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share, which reflects the maximum possible dilution from the potential exercise of warrants and stock options, is the same as basic loss per share for the period ended. The effect of potential issuances of shares under options and warrants would be anti-dilutive for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 as they would decrease the loss per share, consequently the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for basic and diluted are the same.
