Element 29 Resources Inc. Notes to Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 (Unaudited) (expressed in Canadian dollars, except where indicated)

1 Nature of operations

Nature of operations

Element 29 Resources Inc. together with its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the “Company” or “E29”), is focused on the exploration of mineral property interests in Peru.

The Company was incorporated on August 30, 2017 in British Columbia. The Company’s registered office is at 1900-1040 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, BC, V6E 4H3, Canada. The Company completed an initial public offering (“IPO”) on December 3, 2020 and the Company’s common shares commenced trading on the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSX-V”) on December 7, 2020 under the symbol “ECU”. On May 27, 2021, the Company commenced trading on the Over-the-Counter OTCQB Venture Market (“OTCQB”) under the symbol “EMTRF”.

All amounts are expressed in Canadian dollars, except for certain amounts denoted in United States dollars (“US$”).

The Company has not yet determined whether its exploration and evaluation assets contain mineral reserves that are economically recoverable. The recoverability of the amounts shown for exploration and evaluation assets is dependent upon the existence of economically recoverable reserves, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing to complete the development of those reserves and upon future profitable production. To date, the Company has not earned any revenues and is considered to be in the exploration stage.

Going concern

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on the basis of accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which assumes that the Company will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of operations.

The Company has not generated revenues from its operations to date. As at September 30, 2021, the Company has accumulated net losses of $5,730,574 since inception and has working capital of $3,237,220. The operations of the Company have primarily been funded by the issuance of common shares. These condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in existence. Management estimates its current working capital will be sufficient to fund its current level of activities for the next twelve months.

If the going concern assumption was not appropriate for these condensed consolidated interim financial statements, then adjustments may be necessary to the carrying values of assets and liabilities, the reported expenses and the statement of financial position classifications used. Such adjustments could be material.

2 Basis of presentation

Basis of presentation

The Company prepares its condensed consolidated interim financial statements in accordance with International Accounting Standards 34, Interim Financial Reporting (“IAS 34”), under International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and interpretation of the International Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”). These should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual audited consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2020 (“Annual Financial Statements”). The accounting policies and critical estimates and judgements applied by the Company in these condensed consolidated interim financial statements are the same as those applied in the Company’s Annual Financial Statements, unless otherwise stated.

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Company have been prepared on an accrual basis and are based on historical costs, except for financial instruments measured at fair value or amortized cost.

The Board of Directors of the Company approved these condensed consolidated interim financial statements and authorized them for issue on November 9, 2021.

Element 29 Resources Inc. Notes to Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 (Unaudited) (expressed in Canadian dollars, except where indicated)

Basis of consolidation

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries:

  • Candelaria Resources S.A.C. (“Candelaria”)

  • Elida Resources S.A.C. (“Elida”)

  • Pahuay Resources S.A.C. (“Pahuay”)

All significant intercompany accounts and transactions between the Company and its subsidiaries have been eliminated upon consolidation.

3 Exploration and evaluation assets

Title to exploration and evaluation assets involves certain inherent risks due to the difficulties of determining the validity of certain claims as well as the potential for problems arising from the frequently ambiguous conveyancing history characteristics of many mineral properties. The Company has investigated title to its mineral properties and, to the best of its knowledge, title to the mineral property assets remains in good standing.

Flor de Cobre Copper Project

The Company owns 100% of the Flor de Cobre Copper Project, with the exception of certain claims (“Candelaria Claims”), where it has an option to earn 100% interest.

The Company can earn 100% interest in the Candelaria Claims at Flor de Cobre by making payments to the vendor in the total amount of approximately US$5 million over five years between 2020 and 2024. An additional US$6 million payment would be due on the positive feasibility study for the claim area.

In 2019, the Company acquired several claims through a government auction (the “San Jose Property”). The San Jose Property forms part of the Flor de Cobre Project.

Elida Copper Project

The Company owns 100% of the Elida copper project, subject to a 2% net smelter royalty (“NSR”) to Globetrotters Resource Group Inc. (“Globetrotters”), a private company incorporated under the laws of British Columbia, Canada.

Pahuay Copper Skarn Project

The Company owns 100% of the Pahuay Copper Skarn Project, subject to a 2% NSR to Globetrotters. The property is located 270 kilometres south of Lima, Peru.

Muñaorjo Copper Skarn Project

The Company owns 100% of the Muñaorjo Copper Skarn Porphyry Project, subject to a 2% NSR to Globetrotters. The project is located approximately 200 kilometres northeast of Arequipa, Peru.

4 Share capital

a) Common shares

The Company’s authorized share capital consists of unlimited common shares without par value. At September 30, 2021, the Company had 67,742,860 (December 31, 2020 – 66,791,368) shares issued and outstanding.

b) Share options

The Company provides share-based compensation to its directors, officers, employees, and consultants through grants of share options.

8

Element 29 Resources Inc. Notes to Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 (Unaudited) (expressed in Canadian dollars, except where indicated)

The Company has adopted a stock option plan (the “Plan”), as amended, to grant options to directors, officers, employees and consultants to acquire up to 10% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company. Vesting is determined at the discretion of the Board of Directors.

The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of stock options granted. For employees, the share-based compensation expense is amortized on a graded vesting basis over the requisite service period which approximates the vesting period. Share-based compensation expense for share options granted to non-employees is recognized over the contract services period or, if none exists, from the date of grant until the share options vest.

The Company uses historical data to estimate option exercise, forfeiture and employee termination within the valuation model. The risk-free interest rate is based on a treasury instrument whose term is consistent with the expected term of the share options. Since the Company has not paid and does not anticipate paying dividends on its common shares, the expected dividend yield is assumed to be zero. Companies are required to utilize an estimated forfeiture rate when calculating the share-based compensation expense for the reporting period. Based on the best estimate, management applied the estimated forfeiture rate of nil in determining the share-based compensation expense recorded in the accompanying condensed consolidated interim statements of comprehensive loss.

On August 4th, 2021, the Chief Executive Officer and President of the Company retired and as a result, 925,000 share options were cancelled.

The Company has issued common shares of the Company to certain executives in exchange for promissory notes (the “Promissory Note”) to the Company.

In November 2018, the former Non-Executive Chairman was issued 1,500,000 common shares of the Company in exchange for a Promissory Note of $150,000. The Non-Executive Chairman’s Promissory Note bears interest at 2% per annum, matures on April 1, 2022 and is secured by the 1,500,000 common shares of the Company acquired with the Promissory Note and are held in escrow. In January 2020, the Non-Executive Chairman repaid $51,250 of the outstanding balance. In May 2020, the Non-Executive Chairman resigned from the Company and cancelled the remaining balance of the Promissory Note.

8 Financial instruments

a) Fair value classification of financial instruments

The fair value hierarchy establishes three levels to classify the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs are other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (prices) or indirectly (derived from prices). Level 3 inputs are for the assets or liabilities that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs). The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and loan payable.

The carrying values of these financial instruments approximate their fair value due to their short terms to maturity.

The following table summarizes the classification and carrying values of the Company’s financial instruments at September 30, 2021:

9 Capital management

The Company considers items included in shareholders’ equity as capital. The Company’s objective when managing capital is to safeguard the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, so that it can continue to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders.

The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. In order to facilitate the management of its capital requirements, the Company prepares annual expenditure budgets which are revised periodically based on the results of its exploration programs, availability of financing and industry conditions. There are no external restrictions on management of capital and there has been no changes to the Company’s capital management during the current year. The Company believes it will be able to raise new funds as required in the long term to fund its exploration programs but recognizes there will be risks involved that may be beyond its control.
