Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements For the three-month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 (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.
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 April 29, 2021, the Company filed on SEDAR an updated technical report, “Feasibility Study Update, Horne 5 Gold Project”, dated effective March 18, 2021 (the “Updated Feasibility Study”) pursuant to National Instrument 43-101, Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects and relating to its Horne 5 Deposit in Rouyn-Noranda (the “Horne 5 Project” or “Horne 5 Deposit”).
These condensed consolidated 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 September 30, 2022, the Company had a negative working capital of $21,563,855 (including a cash and cash equivalent balance of $10,131,062), an accumulated deficit of $95,213,367 and had incurred a loss of $607,627 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2022. 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 silver stream agreement (the “Silver Stream Agreement”) signed with Osisko Gold Royalties Ltd (“Osisko Gold”) on February 27, 2019 (Note 6). Osisko Gold, through the Silver Stream Agreement and the Convertible Loan (see Note 7) and Osisko Development Corp. (“Osisko Development”) (a subsidiary of Osisko Gold) which owns 17.3% interest in Falco, are considered companies with significant influence over the Company and therefore are related parties pursuant to IAS 24 Related Party Disclosure .
The working capital as at September 30, 2022 will not be sufficient to meet the Company’s obligations, commitments and budgeted expenditures through September 30, 2023. 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 condensed consolidated 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.
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 Silver Stream Agreement and the issuance of debt or equity instruments. While Management has been successful in securing financing in the past (see Notes 6, 7, 8 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, and amounts realized for assets might be less than the amounts reflected in these condensed consolidated financial statements.
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 . The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual audited consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended June 30, 2022, which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB.
These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements were approved by the Company's Board of Directors (the “Board”) on November 21, 2022.
The policies applied in these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements are the same accounting policies and methods as those in Falco’s most recent audited annual 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 consolidated financial statements.

6. Contract Liability
On February 27, 2019, the Company and Osisko Gold (the “Parties”) completed the Silver Stream Agreement, whereby Osisko Gold 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 Silver Stream Agreement, net of any amounts owing by the Company to Osisko Gold;
-
Second deposit of $20,000,000 upon the Company receiving all necessary material third-parties’ 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 Gold to increase the stream percentage, payable concurrently with the fourth deposit.
Under the terms of the Silver Stream Agreement, Osisko Gold 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 Silver Stream Agreement, Osisko Gold 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 Silver Stream Agreement. Pursuant to the Stream Agreement, the Company has agreed to pay a $2,000,000 capital commitment fee. The fee is payable upon Osisko Gold funding the third deposit under the Stream Agreement.
Falco’s obligations towards Osisko Gold with respect to the Silver Stream Agreement are secured by a deed of hypothec for a maximum of $600 million; such first ranking deed was subordinated in favour of the security granted to Glencore Canada Corporation (“Glencore Canada”) as part of the Convertible Debenture transaction (see Note 8).
On January 31, 2020, November 27, 2020 and January 31, 2022, the Parties amended the Silver Stream Agreement, whereby Osisko Gold agreed to postpone by one year each of the deadlines granted to Falco to achieve milestones set as condition precedent to Osisko Gold funding the remaining staged payments and certain other deadlines.
On August 19, 2021, the Company received from Osisko Gold a partial advance payment of $10,000,000 on the second deposit of $20,000,000 to be made under the Silver Stream Agreement.
As of September 30, 2022 and June 30, 2022, the Company incurred on a cumulative basis $1,728,528 of transaction costs relating to the Contract Liability, which is accounted for as other non-current assets on the consolidated balance sheet.
The breakdown of the Contract Liability is as follows:
| down of the Contract Liability is as follows: | |
|---|---|
| $ | |
| Balance at June 30, 2021 | 33,674,978 |
| Interest on the Contract Liability’s financing component | 5,223,024 |
| Partial advance of second milestone payment | 10,000,000 |
| Balance at June 30, 2022 | 48,898,002 |
| Interest on the Contract Liability’s financing component | 1,447,990 |
| Balance at September 30, 2022 | 50,345,992 |
Under IFRS 15, the Silver Stream Agreement is considered to have a significant financing component. As such, interest is accrued and added to the Contract Liability. The Contract Liability will begin to be gradually recognized as part of revenues over the life of the mine once deliveries under the Silver Stream Agreement begin. The Company therefore records notional noncash 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 that was determined at the time that the Silver Stream Agreement was consummated and/or modified. This interest accrual is not a contractual obligation but is intended to allocate the cost of the Silver Stream Agreement over the period it is outstanding. This accrual is a non-cash item and as such is not reported on the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows.

7. Convertible Loan
On February 22, 2019, Falco closed a secured senior loan agreement with Osisko Gold (the “Secured Loan”) for $10,000,000 (the “Principal Amount”). 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 from December 31, 2019 to December 31, 2020. Osisko Gold was entitled to set-off from the Increased Principal Amount a sum of $881,131, representing the then current accounts payable owing to Osisko Gold by the Company, so that, on a net basis, Osisko Gold provided an amount of $5,018,869 available to Falco for withdrawal. Under the terms of the Secured Loan, interest is payable on the Amended Principal Amount at a rate per annum that is equal to 7%, compounded quarterly and accrued interest is payable upon repayment of the Amended Principal Amount.
On November 17, 2020, the Company entered into a binding agreement with Osisko Gold in order to extend the maturity date of the Secured Loan from December 31, 2020 to December 31, 2022 (the “Maturity Extension”). Together with capitalized interest, the principal amount outstanding under the Secured Loan as of November 17, 2020 was $17,596,136. In consideration for the Maturity Extension, the Secured Loan was also amended to become convertible (the “Convertible Loan”) after the first anniversary of the closing date into common shares of the Company (“Common Shares”) at a conversion price of $0.55 per Common Share. The Convertible Loan bears interest at a rate of 7% per annum, compounded quarterly. Falco’s obligations towards Osisko Gold with respect to the Convertible Loan is secured by a deed of hypothec for a maximum of $25,000,000 over all of the assets of Falco other than the Horne 5 Project and ranks after the security granted to Glencore Canada as part of the Convertible Debenture transaction (see Note 8).
In consideration for the Maturity Extension, the Company issued to Osisko Gold 10,664,324 Common Share purchase warrants of the Company (“Warrants”), each Warrant is exercisable for one Common Share at an exercise price of $0.69 up to 24 months from the date of issuance of the Warrants. The terms of the Warrants provide for a cashless exercise feature, under which the number of Common Shares to be issued will be based on the number of Common Shares for which Warrants are exercised multiplied by the difference between the market price of a Common Share and the exercise price divided by the market price at the time of the exercise. Osisko Gold may utilize the cashless exercise feature at its sole discretion. The Warrants (and the underlying Common Shares) were subject to a hold period of four months from the date of issuance of the Warrants, in accordance with applicable Canadian securities laws.
Transactions affecting the Loan with Osisko Gold during were as follows:

| Interest | 452,959 |

The Convertible Loan’s 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.

8. Convertible Debenture
On October 27, 2020, the Company entered into an agreement with Glencore Canada for a $10,000,000 senior secured convertible debenture (the “Convertible Debenture”). The Convertible Debenture had an initial term to maturity of 12 months and was bearing interest at a rate of 7% per annum, compounded quarterly. Accrued interest was capitalized quarterly by adding the interest to the principal of the Convertible Debenture, unless the Company elected at its sole discretion to settle in cash any accrued interest. In certain circumstances, Falco has the right to extend this maturity date by an additional six months.
The Convertible Debenture could be converted into Common Shares within 10 days of the Maturity Date at Glencore Canada’s sole option at a conversion price of $0.41 per Common Share.
Falco issued to Glencore Canada 12,195,122 Warrants for which each Warrant was exercisable for one Common Share at an exercise price of $0.51 up to 12 months from the date of issuance of the Warrants. The terms of the Warrants provide for a cashless exercise feature, under which the number of Common Shares to be issued will be based on the number of Common Shares for which Warrants are exercised multiplied by the difference between the market price of a Common Share and the exercise price divided by the market price at the time of the exercise. Glencore Canada may utilize the cashless exercise feature in its sole discretion. The Warrants (and the underlying Common Shares) were subject to a hold period of four months from the date of issuance of the Warrants, in accordance with applicable Canadian securities laws.
The Convertible Debenture is secured by first ranking security on all assets owned by Falco. Glencore Canada will release the security upon the settlement of the Convertible Debenture and the repayment of interest. So long as Glencore Canada owns (or is deemed to own) a minimum equity interest of 5% in the Company, it will have the right to maintain its pro-rata interest in Falco by participating in equity financings and other dilutive instruments.
On October 27, 2020, the Warrants, recognized as derivative warrant liabilities, were measured at their estimated fair value of $1,232,501, with the residual amount attributed to the debt host of the Convertible Debenture ($8,767,499) and a $ nil residual amount to the conversion option equity component.
On October 13, 2021, the Company announced an agreement with Glencore Canada to extend the maturity date of the Convertible Debenture, from October 27, 2021 to April 27, 2022, as the circumstances for such an extension were met in accordance with the terms of the Convertible Debenture.
Given the extension to the maturity date of the Convertible Debenture, the Company announced the extension of the expiry date of the Warrants issued to Glencore under the Convertible Debenture from October 27, 2021 to April 27, 2022. All other terms and conditions of the Warrants remained unchanged, including the exercise price of $0.51 per Common Share.
On April 27, 2022, the Company and Glencore entered into an agreement to extend the maturity date of the Convertible Debenture, from April 27, 2022 to April 27, 2023 (the “Amended Maturity Date”). The accrued interest on the existing Convertible Debenture was capitalized such that the principal amount of the amended Convertible Debenture is $11,095,976.
In connection with the extension of the Maturity Date, the conversion price of the Convertible Debenture was amended to $0.40 per share and the interest rate to 8% per annum, compounded quarterly. In accordance with its terms, the Convertible Debenture can be converted into Common Shares within 10 days of the Amended Maturity Date or on the Maturity Date except that Glencore shall have the right to accelerate its conversion right upon the provision of a prior written notice to the Company. This latter extension is considered to be a settlement of the original Convertible Debenture ($10,000,000).
Concurrently, the Company announced the extension of the expiry date of Glencore Canada’s Warrants (the “Amended Warrants”) from April 27, 2022 to April 27, 2023. The exercise price of these Warrants was reduced to $0.41 per share. All other terms and conditions of these Warrants remain unchanged. This latter extension is considered to be a settlement of the original Warrants (12,195,122 Warrants).
As consideration for the amendment and extension, Falco issued to Glencore Canada 2,866,036 additional Warrants (the “Additional Warrants”). Each Additional Warrant is exercisable for one Common Share and has identical terms of the terms to the Amended Warrants.

9. Derivative warrant liabilities
In accordance with IFRS, a contract to issue a variable number of shares fails to meet the definition of equity and must instead be classified as derivative liabilities and measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in the consolidated statement of loss and comprehensive loss at each period-end. The derivative warrant liabilities will ultimately be converted into Common Shares when the Warrants are exercised, or will be extinguished on the expiry of the outstanding Warrants, and will not result in the outlay of any cash by the Company. Immediately prior to exercise, the Warrants are remeasured at their estimated fair value. Upon exercise, the intrinsic value is transferred to share capital (the intrinsic value is the share price at the date the Warrant is exercised less the exercise price of the Warrant). Any remaining fair value is recorded through the consolidated statement of loss and comprehensive loss as part of the change in estimated fair value of derivative warrant liabilities.
The following table details the changes in the Company’s derivative warrant liabilities:
| Convertible | Debt | Convertible Loan | Convertible Loan | |||

9. Derivative warrant liabilities ( continued )
The derivative warrant liabilities were accounted for at their fair value determined by the Black-Scholes option pricing model on the following weighted average assumptions at each reporting date and at their issuance date:
| Additional Warrants | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| September 30, | June 30, | April 27, | June 30, | |
| 2022 | 2022 | 2022 | 2021 | |
| Risk-free interest rate | 4.43% | 2.74% | 3.12% | 0.44% |
| Expected life of Warrants | 0.4 years | 0.6 years | 1.0 years | 0.8 years |
| Annualized volatility | 69% | 57% | 55% | 58% |
| Dividend rate | - | - | - | - |
| Fair value per Warrant | $0.004 | $0.01 | $0.04 | $0.04 |
These derivative warrant liabilities are Level 3 recurring fair value measurements. The key Level 3 input used by Management to estimate the fair value is the expected volatility.
