EXPLOITS DISCOVERY CORP. (FORMERLY MARINER RESOURCES CORP.) Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements (unaudited) For the nine months ended July 31, 2021 and July 31, 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 Burrard St, Suite 3043, Vancouver, BC, V7X 1J1. 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 were authorized for issue by the Audit Committee on September 28, 2021.

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.
The Company’s investment in Volatus Capital Corp, C2C Gold Corp, and Opawica Gold Corp (Note 3) are classified as fair value through profit and loss and consist of common shares in a publicly traded entity and are classified as Level 1. As at July 31, 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 July 31, 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.
