Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements For the three-month and nine-month periods ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 (Unaudited) (Expressed in Canadian Dollars)
Falco Resources Ltd.
1. Nature of activities and going concern
Falco Resources Ltd. (“Falco” or the “Company”) was incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) on March 16, 2010 and was continued under the Canada Business Corporations Act on June 12, 2015. The Company’s common shares trade under the symbol “FPC” on the TSX Venture Exchange. The Company’s registered office is 1100, avenue des Canadiens-de-Montréal, Suite 300, Montréal, Québec, Canada.
On March 27, 2020, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Golden Queen Mining Consolidated Ltd. (“Golden Queen”) (see Note 4).
The Company is in the business of exploring, evaluating and developing its mineral properties in the Rouyn-Noranda district of the Province of Québec (Canada) for base and precious metals.
On October 30, 2017, the Company filed a National Instrument 43-101, Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects Technical Report, entitled “ Feasibility Study, Horne 5 Gold Project ”, dated effective October 5, 2017 on SEDAR (the “Feasibility Study”) relating to its Horne 5 Deposit in Rouyn-Noranda (the “Horne 5 Project” or “Horne 5 Deposit”). Management of the Company (“Management”) has determined that the technical feasibility and commercial viability of the Horne 5 Project is established and accordingly, the development phase of the Horne 5 Project has commenced.
Until it is determined that properties contain mineral reserves or resources that can be economically mined, they are classified as exploration and evaluation properties. The recoverability of deferred exploration and evaluation expenses is dependent on the discovery of economically recoverable reserves and resources; securing and maintaining title and beneficial interest in the properties; the ability to obtain necessary financing to continue the exploration, evaluation and development of its properties; and obtaining certain government approvals or proceeds from the disposal of properties. Changes in future conditions could require material impairment of the carrying value of the deferred exploration and evaluation expenses. Although the Company has taken steps to verify title to its mining properties on which it is currently conducting exploration, evaluation and development work, in accordance with industry standards, these procedures do not guarantee the Company’s title. Property title may be subject to unregistered prior agreements and non-compliance with regulatory requirements.
These financial statements have been prepared on the basis of accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business as they come due. In assessing whether the going concern assumption is appropriate, Management takes into account all available information about the future, which is at least, but not limited to twelve months from the end of the reporting period. As at March 31, 2020, the Company had negative working capital of $13,706,838 (including a cash balance of $6,650,818), an accumulated deficit of $44,413,863 and had incurred a loss of $4,427,185 for the nine-month period ended March 31, 2020. As the Company is in the development stage for the Horne 5 Project, it has not recorded any revenues from operations and has no source of operating cash flow, with the exception of the milestone payments under the silver stream agreement (the “Stream Agreement”) signed on February 27, 2019 with Osisko Gold Royalties (“Osisko”), a shareholder with significant influence over the Company and therefore a related party (Note 8).
The working capital as at March 31, 2020 will not be sufficient to meet the Company’s obligations, commitments and budgeted expenditures through March 31, 2021. Management is aware, in making its assessment, of material uncertainties related to events and conditions that may cast a significant doubt upon the Company's ability to continue as a going concern as described in the preceding paragraph, and accordingly, the appropriateness of the use of accounting principles applicable to a going concern. These financial statements do not reflect the adjustments to the carrying values of assets and liabilities, expenses and balance sheet classifications that would be necessary if the going concern assumption was not appropriate. These adjustments could be material.
March 2020 was marked by the severity of the Coronavirus global outbreak which has triggered a significant negative effect on global financial markets. The extent and duration of impacts that the Coronavirus may have on the Company’s operations including suppliers, service providers, employees and on global financial markets limiting our ability to access financing is not known at this time but could be material. The Company is monitoring developments in order to be in a position to take appropriate action.
The Company’s ability to continue future operations and fund its planned development activities at the Horne 5 Deposit is dependent on Management’s ability to secure third parties’ approvals and additional financing in the future. Any funding shortfall may be met in the future in a number of ways, including, but not limited to, achieving the next milestones of the Stream Agreement and the issuance of debt or equity instruments. While Management has been successful in securing financing in the past (see Notes 4, 8, 9 and 10), there can be no assurance that it will be able to do so in the future or that these sources of funding or initiatives will be available to the Company or that they will be available on terms which are acceptable to the Company. If Management is unable to obtain new funding, the Company may be unable to continue its operations as expected, and amounts realized for assets might be less than the amounts reflected in these financial statements.

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements For the three-month and nine-month periods ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 (Unaudited) (Expressed in Canadian Dollars)
2. Basis of presentation
These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) applicable to the preparation of interim financial statements, including International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) 34, Interim Financial Reporting . These condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual audited financial statements of the Company for the year ended June 30, 2019, which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB.
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements were approved by the Company's Board of Directors (the “Board”) on May 27, 2020.
The policies applied in these condensed consolidated interim financial statements are the same accounting policies and methods as those in Falco’s most recent audited annual financial statements except as noted below:
Impact on financial statements IFRS 16 Leases
Effective July 1, 2019, the Company has adopted IFRS 16 on a retrospective basis without restatement of comparative periods in accordance with the transitional provisions of IFRS 16. IFRS 16 sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both parties to a contract, which is the customer (“lessee”) and the supplier (“lessor”). IFRS 16 replaces IAS 17 Leases , and related interpretations. Save for limited exceptions, all leases result in the lessee obtaining the right to use an asset at the start of the lease and, if lease payments are made over time, also obtaining financing. Accordingly, IFRS 16 eliminates the classification of leases as either operating leases or finance leases as is required by IAS 17 and, instead, introduces a single lessee accounting model. Applying that model, a lessee is required to recognize:
- (i) assets and liabilities for all leases with a term of more than 12 months, unless the underlying asset is of low value; and (ii) depreciation of lease assets separately from interest on lease liabilities in the statement of loss and comprehensive loss.
The adoption of IFRS 16 did not have a significant effect on the date of initial application.
Basis of consolidation
On March 27, 2020, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Golden Queen (see Note 4). The financial statements of Golden Queen are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date that control was obtained. The accounting policies of Golden Queen were changed when necessary to align them with the policies adopted by the Company.
Inter-company balances and transactions, and any unrealized income and expenses arising from inter-company transactions, are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements.
3. Judgments, estimates and assumptions
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the Company to make judgments, estimates and assumptions on reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and reported amounts of expenses. The estimates and assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgments about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may be substantially different. The critical accounting, judgments, estimates and assumptions are the same as those in our most recent audited annual financial statements.

(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)
4 . Acquisition of Golden Queen
On March 27, 2020, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Golden Queen, which was completed by way of a statutory plan of arrangement under the provisions of the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) (the “Arrangement“). Under the terms of the Arrangement, each former shareholder of Golden Queen received 1.35 of a common share of Falco in exchange for each common share of Golden Queen held immediately prior to the Arrangement. The Company issued 18,268,560 common shares and incurred $221,848 of transaction costs related to this acquisition.
The transaction has been accounted for as an asset acquisition as Golden Queen does not meet the definition of a business under IFRS 3 Business Combinations . As such, IFRS 2 Share-based Payment has been applied. The assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recognized at their estimated fair value at the acquisition closing date, i.e. March 27, 2020. Acquisitionrelated transaction costs ($221,848) were expensed in the consolidated statement of loss and comprehensive loss. The following table shows the purchase price allocation between the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, based on the fair value of the total consideration paid at the transaction closing date.

8. Contract Liability
On February 27, 2019, the Company completed the Stream Agreement with Osisko, whereby Osisko agreed to provide the Company with staged payments totaling up to $180 million, toward the funding of the development of the Horne 5 Project, payable as follows:
-
First deposit of $25,000,000 on closing of the Stream Agreement, net of any amounts owing by the Company to Osisko including the repayment of the principal amount ($10,000,000) of the loan granted in May 2016, the principal amount of the $10,000,000 loan granted in September 2018 (Note 10), amounts payable ($2,750,000) for professional services rendered and transaction costs ($600,000);
-
Second deposit of $20,000,000 upon the Company receiving all necessary material third-party approvals, licenses, rights of way, and surface rights;
-
Third deposit of $35,000,000 following receipt of all material permits required for the construction of a mine at the Horne 5 Project, a positive construction decision for the Horne 5 Project, and raising a minimum of $100,000,000 in equity, joint venture or any other non-debt financing for the construction of the mine;
-
Fourth deposit of $60,000,000 upon the total projected capital expenditure for the Horne 5 Project having been demonstrated to be financed; and
-
Optional fifth deposit of $40,000,000 at the sole election of Osisko to increase the stream percentage, payable concurrently with the fourth deposit.
Under the terms of the Stream Agreement, Osisko will purchase 90% of the payable silver from the Horne 5 Project, increasing to 100% of the payable silver from the Horne 5 Project in the event the optional fifth deposit is paid. In exchange for the silver delivered under the Stream Agreement, Osisko will pay the Company ongoing payments equal to 20% of the spot price of silver on the day of delivery, subject to a maximum payment of USD$6.00 per silver ounce. The silver produced from the Horne 5 Project and properties within a 5 km area of interest will be subject to the Stream Agreement.
The Stream Agreement was subject to a right of first refusal in favor of Glencore Canada Corporation (“Glencore Canada”), which right was not exercised.
On January 31, 2020, the Company and Osisko agreed to amend the Stream Agreement, whereby Osisko agreed to postpone by one year each of the deadlines granted to Falco to achieve milestones set as condition precedent to Osisko funding the remaining staged payments and certain other deadlines. Further to this contract modification, the Company revised the implied interest rate of the Stream Agreement from 13% to 12.8% to align the modified timing of cash flows to the revised production schedule.
The breakdown of the Contract Liability is as follows:
| down of the Contract Liability is as follows: | |
|---|---|
| $ | |
| First deposit of the Contract Liability | 25,000,000 |
| Accretionofthe ContractLiability’sfinancing component | 1,115,576 |
| Balance at June 30, 2019 | 26,115,576 |
| Accretion of the Contract Liability’s financingcomponent | 2,677,700 |
| Balance at March 31, 2020 | 28,793,276 |
Under IFRS 15, the Stream Agreement is considered to have a significant financing component on which an implied interest rate is accrued and added to the Contract Liability, to be amortized once the Stream begins to be paid down. Under these rules, the Company reports notional non-cash interest, which is subject to capitalization to property, plant and equipment as borrowing costs, at each financial reporting date based on the implied interest rate at the time that the Stream Agreement was consummated and/or modified and a corresponding amount is added to the Contract Liability. This accrued interest is not a contractual obligation but is intended to allocate the cost of the Stream Agreement over the period it is outstanding. This accrual is a non-cash item and is reflected as such on the statement of cash flows. The Contract Liability including the accrued interest will be brought into revenue over the term of the Stream Agreement, which corresponds to the life of mine.

8. Contract Liability (continued)
As of March 31, 2020, the Company has incurred $1,728,528 of transaction costs relating to the Contract Liability ($1,728,528 as of June 30, 2019), which is accounted for as other non-current assets on the balance sheet.
Pursuant to the Stream Agreement, the Company agreed to pay a $2,000,000 capital commitment fee. The fee is payable upon Osisko funding the third deposit under the Stream Agreement.
Falco’s obligations towards Osisko with respect to the Stream Agreement is secured by a deed of hypothec for a maximum of $600 million.
9. Convertible debenture
On June 29, 2018, the Company closed a financing transaction (the “Convertible Debenture”) with Osisko for $7,000,000. Under the terms of the Convertible Debenture, Osisko purchased a secured debenture (the “Debenture”) having a principal amount of $7,000,000.
On November 29, 2018, the Debenture was converted into 12,104,444 units of the Company (the “Converted Units”). Each Converted Unit consists of one common share of the Company (“Common Share”) and one-half of one common share purchase warrant (“Warrant”). Each whole Warrant shall entitle the holder to purchase one Common Share, subject to customary antidilution clauses, at a price of $0.75 for a period of thirty-six months from the date the Converted Units were issued.
Gross proceeds from the Converted Units were allocated between the Common Shares ($6,536,400) and the Warrants ($463,600), based on the fair value of the Common Shares at the date of the closing of the Convertible Debenture, with the residual value of the Converted Units allocated to the Warrants. Issue costs of $161,316 were allocated to the Converted Units, of which $151,034 were allocated to the Common Shares and $10,282 were allocated to the Warrants, based on their respective allocated proceeds.
10. Secured Loan
On September 10, 2018, Falco closed a secured senior loan agreement with Osisko (the “September Secured Loan”). Under the terms of the September Secured Loan, Osisko provided the Company with a loan for $10,000,000 (the "Amount"). The September Secured Loan had an initial maturity date of December 31, 2018, which was amended to February 28, 2019 on December 19, 2018. Interest was payable on the Amount at a rate per annum that was equal to 7%, compounded quarterly and accrued interest was payable upon repayment of the Amount. The Amount was repaid on the closing date of the Stream Agreement (see Note 7) and the interest payable was settled through the issuance of common shares of the Company. The transaction costs incurred on the September Secured Loan totaled $44,600.
On February 22, 2019, Falco closed a secured senior loan agreement with Osisko (the “Secured Loan”) for $10,000,000 (the “Principal Amount”). The Secured Loan had an initial maturity date of December 31, 2019. On November 22, 2019, the Secured Loan was amended, increasing the Principal Amount by $5,900,000 (the “Increased Principal Amount”) to $15,900,000 (the “Amended Principal Amount”) and the maturity date was extended to December 31, 2020. Osisko was entitled to withhold and set-off from the Increased Principal Amount a sum of $881,131, representing the then current accounts payable owing to Osisko by the Corporation, so that, on a net basis, Osisko made an amount of $5,018,869 available to Falco for withdrawal. Under the terms of the Secured Loan, interest shall be payable on the Amended Principal Amount at a rate per annum that is equal to 7%, compounded quarterly and accrued interest shall be payable upon repayment of the Amended Principal Amount. A portion of the Secured Loan’s Amended Principal Amount is directly attributable to the acquisition or construction of a qualifying asset, as such these borrowing costs are capitalized to property, plant and equipment.

Share-based compensation for the three-month period ended March 31, 2020 amounted to $211,025 ($130,114 for the threemonth period ended March 31, 2019) of which $39,633 ($26,238 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2019) was capitalized to construction in progress and $1,400 ($5,148 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2019) was capitalized to exploration and evaluation assets.
Share-based compensation for the nine-month period ended March 31, 2020 amounted to $605,248 ($815,758 for the ninemonth period ended March 31, 2019) of which $92,713 ($106,097 for the nine-month period ended March 31, 2019) was capitalized to construction in progress and $1,400 ($25,004 for the nine-month period ended March 31, 2019) was capitalized to exploration and evaluation assets.
13. Net loss per share
The calculation of basic and diluted loss per share for the three-month and nine-month periods ended March 31, 2020 was based on the net loss attributable to shareholders of $1,446,673 and $4,427,185, respectively ($992,708 and $4,026,543 for the three-month and nine-month periods ended March 31, 2019, respectively). The weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the three-month and nine-month periods ended March 31, 2020 was 208,681,750 and 208,144,461, respectively (203,595,703 and 195,562,907 common shares for the three-month and nine-month periods ended March 31, 2019, respectively). As a result of the net loss for the three-month and nine-month periods ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, all potentially dilutive common shares (Notes 11 and 12) are deemed to be antidilutive and thus diluted net loss per share is equal to the basic net loss per share for these periods.

18. Commitments
Glencore Canada
As per the purchase agreement dated March 28, 2011, assigned to the Company in September 2012 and considering, amongst other, further transactions among the Company and Glencore Canada as well as among Glencore Canada and BaseCore Metals LP (“Basecore”), Glencore Canada remains the owner of an off-take option to purchase production from the Horne 5 Project and BaseCore owns a 2% NSR royalty on the Horne 5 Project.
Falco’s obligations towards Glencore Canada and BaseCore, including, respectively, with respect to the off-take option and the royalty interest, as well as the payment of any damages to Glencore Canada caused by Falco, are secured by deeds of hypothec for a maximum of $100 million (Glencore Canada) and $45 million (BaseCore).
Furthermore, the Horne 5 Project is located adjacent to Glencore Canada’s operations and the Company is contractually bound to seek authorizations from time to time from Glencore Canada to perform certain activities, which may affect or impact their operations.
- “ ” City of Rouyn Noranda (the City )
On September 12, 2017, the Company concluded the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (the “MOU”) with the Commission scolaire de Rouyn-Noranda (the “School Board”) to acquire the Pavilion located on the site of the Horne 5 Project. As per the MOU, Falco became the owner of the Pavilion upon completion of a relocation program for the current Pavilion activities (the “Relocation Project”). As per the Relocation Project, the Company transferred the Pavilion’s activities to the Complexe La Source-Polymétier (the “Complexe”) and Falco funded and executed the expansion of the Complexe to accommodate these additional activities. Falco transferred the expanded Complexe to the School Board on June 28, 2018, completing the Relocation Project on time and on budget (relocation and construction costs totaled $22.5 million). The Company has no more obligations towards the School Board.
As the Complexe was constructed on property owned by the City and where sports and community activities were undertaken, Falco concluded an agreement with the City in December 2018, which was amended in August 2019, to finance and build infrastructure to relocate such activities no later than June 1, 2021 for an amount not to exceed $2.5 million.
