Notes to the Condensed Interim Financial Statements For the six-month period ended September 30, 2021
(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)
1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN
Etruscus Resources Corp. (“the Company”) was incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) on July 1, 2017. The Company’s registered office is located at Suite #1400 - 1125 Howe St., Vancouver, British Columbia, V6Z 2K8, and its operating office is located at Suite #604 - 850 West Hastings St., Vancouver, British Columbia V6C 1E1. The Company’s common shares were listed for trading on the Canadian Securities Exchange (“CSE”) on January 15, 2019 (the “Listing Date”).
The Company is engaged in the exploration of mineral properties and has not yet determined whether any of its properties contain economically recoverable reserves. To date, the Company has not earned any operating revenues and is in the exploration stage. The mining exploration business involves a high degree of risk. The recoverability of the amounts expended on mineral interests by the Company is dependent upon the existence of economically recoverable reserves, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing to complete the exploration and development of its mineral properties and upon future profitable production or proceeds from disposition of its mineral interests.
These financial statements have been prepared on the basis that the Company will continue as a going concern which assumes that the Company will be able to continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of operations. As an exploration stage company, at September 30, 2021 the Company has incurred an accumulated deficit since its inception of $2,482,988 (March 31, 2021 - $2,163,576). The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern depends upon its ability to raise adequate financing and to ultimately develop profitable operations. These factors indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
Since incorporation on July 1, 2017, the Company raised equity financing from investors to provide for its earlystage exploration and working capital needs. The Company may also consider convertible debentures, third party earn-ins or joint ventures using debt or equity financing structures, to ensure the continuation of Company’s exploration activities. To the extent future financing is not available, future working capital commitments may not be satisfied and future exploration programs would face curtailment and could result in a loss of property ownership or earning opportunities for the Company.
There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise the funds necessary to continue future operations into 2022. Should the Company be unable to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business, the net realizable value of its assets may be materially less than the amounts recorded on the statements of financial position. These condensed interim financial statements do not include adjustments to amounts and classifications of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue operations.
On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the coronavirus COVID-19 a global pandemic. This contagious disease outbreak has continued to spread resulting in adverse public health developments. Vaccination efforts continue on a global basis, but new variants of the virus continue to emerge. The pandemic has adversely affected global workforces, economies, and financial markets, triggering economic upheavals. It is not possible at this time for the Company to predict the duration or magnitude of the adverse results of the outbreak nor its future impacts on the Company’s business or operations.

- EXPLORATION AND EVALUATION ASSETS – Mineral Properties (continued)
Lewis Gold Property, Newfoundland, Canada
On July 20, 2021, the Company announced it had received an option (the “Lewis Option Agreement”) to earn a 100% interest in the Lewis Gold Property (the “Lewis Property”) in central Newfoundland from the vendors, a group of three parties independent to the Company. The Lewis Property consists of two claim blocks in the heart of the Peyton Linear gold trend: the Peyton South claims and the Linear claims. Together, the Lewis Property totals 25.67 square kilometers (2,567 Hectares (“Ha”)) and establishes the Company in a key location within central Newfoundland’s highly active exploration region. Each claim block carries a two percent (2%) Net Smelter Returns royalty, subject to the purchase of one percent (1%) for $2,000,000 on or before commercial production.
The Lewis Option Agreement requires aggregate staged payments each year over a four-year period as follows:

- **In July 2021, cash of $110,000 was paid and 500,000 shares were issued at a fair value of $0.35, for share compensation totalling $175,000.
Rock & Roll Property, Liard Mining Division, Northwest British Columbia, Canada
The Rock & Roll Property (the “Property”) consists of thirty-nine (39) contiguous mineral claims totaling 21,955 Ha situated in the Liard Mining Division of British Columbia, in the Iskut River Valley of the Coast Mountains in northwestern British Columbia.
In 2018, the Company acquired the first 14 contiguous claims totalling 4,723 Ha, known as the Rock & Roll Property, from Equity Exploration Consultants Ltd. (“Equity”), for $50,000 cash and 800,000 common shares of the Company at a value of $0.10 per share, for a total initial acquisition cost of $130,000. Those claims are subject to a 2% net smelter return ("NSR") royalty, held by a group of six parties (the “Royalty Holders”). The Company received an option to purchase one-half of the 2% NSR (the “NSR Buyout Option”) for a future payment of $2,000,000 to the Royalty Holders within 30 days of the commencement of commercial production or December 31, 2030, whichever comes earlier. The NSR Buyout Option was granted to the Company by the issuance of 300,000 shares to the Royalty Holders immediately after the Listing Date, issued at a fair value of $0.25 per share for a total fair value of $75,000, capitalized to exploration and evaluation assets. During the year ended March 31, 2020, the Company staked an additional 25 mineral claims contiguous to the Property, totaling 17,233 ha at a cost of $36,013.
Equity has notified the Company that there may be unregistered royalties on the Property in favour of Prime Equities International Corporation. To the Company’s best information and belief, such royalties (i) are not evidenced by any completed legal instrument and (ii) have not been the subject of any notice or claim to Equity asserting such royalties. The Company has agreed to indemnify Equity against all costs, charges, and expenses, including any amount paid to settle a threatened or an actual action or to satisfy a judgment, reasonably incurred by Equity in the event that such possible royalties are validated as existing legal obligations binding on the Property.

- EXPLORATION AND EVALUATION ASSETS – Mineral Properties (continued)
Sugar Property - Liard Mining Division, Northwest British Columbia, Canada
During the year ended March 31, 2020 the Company staked 11 contiguous mineral claims totaling 5,181 ha at a cost of $9,566. The group of claims is known as the Sugar Property (“Sugar”) and is located approximately 7 km northwest of the Company’s Rock & Roll Property and 25 km southwest of Teck Resources/Newmont Gold’s Galore Creek joint venture project. No historical drilling has been recorded at Sugar.
Title to mineral properties 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 conveyance history characteristic of many mineral properties. The Company has investigated title to its mineral properties, and, to the best of its knowledge, titles are in good standing.

- ACCOUNTS PAYABLE AND ACCRUED LIABILITIES AND LEASE LIABILITY (continued)
Lease liability:
On July 1, 2019, the Company entered into a premises sublease for a three-year period, with terms following those of the head lease. The lessor is Metallis Resources Inc. (“MTS”), a public company related by two common directors and a common officer. The sublease is for ½ of the space leased by MTS for fixed monthly lease payments of $1,688 per month. The sublease falls under the scope of IFRS 16. Accordingly, the lease liability was measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted at the Company’s incremental borrowing rate of 8%, the same discount rate as that used by MTS for its head lease accounting. At the inception of the sublease, the Company recognized on the statement of financial position a lease liability of $54,210 and a corresponding ROU asset of the same amount. Leasehold improvement costs of $6,617 were also recorded as ROU assets.
The following tables summarize the lease liability recognized in the financial statements:

- FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
Financial instruments consist of financial assets and financial liabilities and are accounted for under IFRS 9 – Financial Instruments . Financial instruments are initially recognized at fair value along with, in the case of a financial asset or liability not at fair value through profit and loss, transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of the financial asset or liability. Transaction costs of financial assets and financial liabilities carried at fair value through profit or loss are expensed in profit and loss.
The Company classifies its financial assets and financial liabilities in the following measurement categories:
-
i) those to be measured subsequently at fair value (either through other comprehensive income or through profit or loss); and
-
ii) those to be measured at amortized cost.
19
ETRUSCUS RESOURCES CORP.
Notes to the Condensed Interim Financial Statements For the six-month period ended September 30, 2021
(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)
10. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT (continued)
The classification of financial assets depends on the business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual terms of the cash flows. Financial assets that are held within a business model whose objective is to collect the contractual cash flows, and that have contractual cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal outstanding, are generally measured at amortized cost at the end of subsequent accounting periods. All other financial assets are measured at their fair values at the end of subsequent accounting periods, with any changes taken through profit and loss or other comprehensive income.
Financial liabilities are classified as those to be measured at amortized cost unless they are designated as those to be measured subsequently at fair value through profit or loss (irrevocable election at the time of recognition). Any fair value changes due to credit risk for liabilities designated at fair value through profit and loss are recorded in other comprehensive income.
The Company has implemented the following classifications for financial instruments:
• The Company’s financial assets are cash and cash equivalents, and reclamation deposits. Cash and cash equivalents and reclamation deposits are classified as fair value through profit or loss and any changes to fair value subsequent to initial recognition are recorded in profit or loss for the period in which they occur. The fair values of these financial instruments approximate their carrying values due to their short-term maturities.
• Financial liabilities comprise accounts payable, lease liability and amounts due to related parties which are classified as other financial liabilities and measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. Interest expense is recorded in profit or loss, as applicable.
The Company reclassifies financial assets when and only when its business model for managing those assets changes. Financial liabilities are not reclassified.
If the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount and the impairment loss is recognized in profit or loss for the period.
Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (or CGU) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but to an amount that does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset (or CGU) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized immediately in profit or loss.
Fair values of financial instruments are classified in a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used to determine fair values, as follows:
The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are:
-
Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
-
Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly; and
-
Level 3 – Inputs that are not based on observable market data, with fair value measurement derived from valuation techniques.
The fair values of cash and cash equivalents and reclamation deposit are measured at fair value on a recurring basis based on Level 1 inputs of the fair value hierarchy.

10. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT (continued)
The Company’s risk exposures and the impact on the Company’s financial instruments are summarized below:
Credit risk
Credit risk arises from the potential that one or more counterparties fail to meet their obligations. The Company is normally exposed to credit risk through its cash and cash equivalents and receivables. The Company manages credit risk associated with its cash and cash equivalents by using reputable financial institutions, from which management believes the risk to be remote. Receivables have historically consisted primarily of accrued interest on short-term money market investments for which management believes the collectability of these amounts to be assured.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is related to the ability of the Company to meet its obligations as they come due. The Company’s basic approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet liabilities when due. The Company has historically relied on equity financings to satisfy its capital requirements and will continue to depend upon equity capital as required but may also enter into earn-in arrangements or the sale of certain property interests. However, there can be no assurance the Company will be able to obtain its future financing needs on acceptable terms. The ability of the Company to continue on this course will depend, in part, on the prevailing market conditions, the market interest in financing the Company’s mineral property exploration programs, and the scope of such programs.
The following are the contractual maturities of financial liabilities as at September 30, 2021:
| Carrying | Contractual | Within | Within | |
|---|---|---|---|---|

As at September 30, 2021, the Company has working capital of $1,713,457. This provides sufficient liquidity to meet day-to-day operating obligations for the ensuing year and fund its 2022 Phase I exploration programs, including its obligations to incur certain qualifying exploration expenditures by the end of calendar 2022. Depending on the scope of additional exploration work programs, additional financing may be required.
Interest rate risk
The Company is not exposed to material risk in the event of interest rate fluctuations. The Company has no longterm debt and has not entered into any interest rate swaps or other financial arrangements to mitigate the exposure to interest rate fluctuations, and current interest rates remain historically low. For these reasons, the Company believes it is not subject to material risks should interest rates change.
Market risk
The Company is subject to limited market risk as the price of its short-term money market investments fluctuates due to market forces. The Company has no control over their fluctuating prices, does not hedge its investments and the fluctuations are limited in scope and volatility. As at September 30, 2021, the Company held no short-term money market investments.

10. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT (continued)
Foreign currency risk
The Company's functional currency is the Canadian dollar and an immaterial amount of transactions are in other currencies. Management believes the foreign exchange risk derived from currency conversions is immaterial and therefore does not need to hedge its foreign exchange risk .
11. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
Capital is comprised of all components of shareholders’ equity, and the Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements. The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to fund critical exploration work, meet its on-going liabilities, continue as a going concern, maintain creditworthiness and to ultimately maximize returns for shareholders over the long term. Meeting current and future liabilities and obligations as a non-revenue early-stage explorer requires management to plan for its current and future cash needs while continually monitoring the Company’s internal, exploration and financing risks. The Company endeavors to maintain capital balances over the periods to alleviate unexpected cash flow shortfalls and remains confident that sufficient financing will be raised to ensure working capital needs are met and future exploration funds are available for future exploration. Management strives to minimize shareholder dilution through executing future financings at higher equity prices than prior financings, subject to market conditions.
The capital for operations and the acquisition and exploration of exploration and evaluation assets has historically come from the issuance of common shares. The proceeds raised from the Company’s financings to date have facilitated the acquisition of a property of merit, funded the costs of going public, covered overheads and the first two years of exploration and drilling.
There were no changes in the Company’s capital management objectives during the period ended September 30, 2021.
