EXPLOITS DISCOVERY CORP. (FORMERLY MARINER RESOURCES CORP.) Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements (unaudited) For the three months ended April 30, 2021 and April 30, 2020 Expressed in Canadian Dollars

1. Nature of operations and going concern

Exploits Discovery Corp. (“Exploits” or the “Company”) (formerly Mariner Resources Corp.) was incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) on May 28, 2018. The Company changed its name on September 18, 2020, when it began trading under the symbol ‘NFLD” (note 4). The Company’s head office is at 595 Howe St, Suite 1100, Vancouver, BC, V6C 2T5. The Company is focused on evaluating, acquiring, and exploring mineral properties. The Company’s common shares trade on the Canadian Securities Exchange (the “Exchange” or “CSE”) and commenced trading on June 3, 2019.

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities during the normal course of operations. The Company has not yet determined whether its mineral properties contain mineral deposits that are economically recoverable, and at the current stage of the Company’s development, the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to acquire additional means of financing.

Since November 1, 2019, the outbreak of the novel strain of coronavirus, specifically identified as “COVID‐19”, has resulted in governments worldwide enacting emergency measures to combat the spread of the virus. These measures, which include the implementation of travel bans, self‐imposed quarantine periods and social distancing, have caused material disruption to businesses globally resulting in an economic slowdown. Global equity markets have experienced significant volatility and weakness. Governments and central banks have reacted with significant monetary and fiscal interventions designed to stabilize economic conditions. The duration and impact of the COVID‐ 19 outbreak is unknown at this time, as is the efficacy of the government and central bank interventions. 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.

2. Basis of presentation

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) 34, Interim Financial Reporting and do not include all of the information required for full annual financial statements using International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). These Condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be red in conjunction with the Company’s most recent annual audited financial statements for the year ended October 31, 2020 and the accounting policies applied in these condensed consolidated interim financial statements are the same as those applied in the Company’s annual audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended October 31, 2020.

These financial statements were authorized for issue by the Audit Committee on June 28, 2021.

These financial statements are presented in Canadian Dollars, unless otherwise noted and have been prepared on a historical cost basis. The Canadian dollar is the functional and presentation currency of the Company.

These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly‐owned subsidiaries; Exploits Gold Corp. and 1255919 BC Ltd (“1255919”) . Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date of acquisition, being the date on which the Company obtains control and continue to be consolidated until the date that such control ceases. All inter‐company transactions and balances are eliminated.

6. Financial instruments and risk management

Fair value of financial instruments

IFRS requires disclosures about the inputs to fair value measurements for financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value, including their classification within a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to fair value measurement.

The three levels of hierarchy are:

  • i. Level 1 ‐ Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

  • ii. Level 2 ‐ Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); and

  • iii. Level 3 ‐ Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.

As at April 30, 2021, the Company believes that the carrying values of cash, receivables and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair values because of their nature and relatively short maturity dates or durations.

Financial instruments risk

The Company is exposed in varying degrees to a variety of financial instrument related risks. The Board of Directors approves and monitors the risk management processes, inclusive of documented investment policies, counter party limits, and controlling and reporting structures. The type of risk exposure and the way in which such exposure is managed is provided as follows:

Credit risk

Credit risk is defined as the risk of loss associated with counterparty’s inability to fulfill its payment obligations. The maximum exposure to credit risk is the carrying amount of the Company’s financial assets.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is defined as the risk that the Company will not be able to settle its obligations as they come due. The Company has a planning and budgeting process in place to help determine the funds required to support the Company’s normal operating requirements on an ongoing basis. The Company ensures that there are sufficient funds available to meet its short‐term business requirements by taking into account the anticipated cash expenditures for its exploration and other operating activities, and its holding of cash and cash equivalents. The Company will pursue further equity or debt financing as required to meet its commitments. There is no assurance that such financing will be available or that it will be available on favourable terms.

As at April 30, 2021 the Company’s financial liabilities consist of its accounts payable and accrued liabilities, which are all current obligations.

Foreign currency risk

Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of an exposure will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company’s exposure to foreign exchange risk is minimal.

Capital management

The Company monitors its equity as capital.

The Company’s objectives in managing its capital are to maintain a sufficient capital base to support its operations and to meet its short‐term obligations and at the same time preserve inventors confidence and retain the ability to seek out and acquire new projects of merit. The Company is not exposed to any externally imposed capital requirements. There has been no change in the Company’s approach to capital management.
