Faraday Copper Corp. (formerly CopperBank Resources Corp.) Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 (Expressed in Canadian dollars, except where noted)

1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN

Faraday Copper Corp. (formerly CopperBank Resources Corp.) (the “Company”) was incorporated on October 21, 2014 under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia). The Company’s registered office is Suite 2400, 745 Thurlow Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6E 0C5. The Company’s head office and principal address is located at 250 - 200 Burrard St., Vancouver, British Columbia, V6C 3L6. The Company’s shares are traded on the Canadian Securities Exchange (“CSE”) under the symbol “FDY”, and its principal business is the acquisition and development of resource properties.

On April 20, 2022, the Company formerly approved a name change from CopperBank Resources Corp. to Faraday Copper Corp.

As of the date of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 (the “interim financial statements”), COVID-19 has had no impact on the Company’s ability to access and explore its current properties but may impact the Company’s ability to raise funding or explore its properties should travel restrictions related to COVID-19 be extended or expanded in scope.

On July 8, 2020, the Company consolidated its outstanding common shares on a four-for-one basis. The presentation of number of shares, warrants, stock options and loss per share in these financial statements have been retrospectively adjusted for this share consolidation.

Going Concern

These interim financial statements have been prepared based on accounting principles applicable to 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 business. Accordingly, these interim financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amounts and classification of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. Such adjustments could be material.

The Company is a resource exploration stage company, which does not generate any revenue and has been relying on equity-based financing to fund its operations. The Company has recurring losses since inception and had an accumulated deficit of $51,630,046 as at March 31, 2022 (December 31, 2021 - $50,101,011). The Company will require additional financing either through equity or debt financing, sale of assets, joint venture arrangements, or a combination thereof to meet its administrative costs and to continue to explore and develop its resource properties. There is no assurance that sufficient future funding will be available on a timely basis or on terms acceptable to the Company. These conditions indicate the existence of material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt as to the ability of the Company to meet its obligations as they come due, and accordingly, the appropriateness of the use of accounting principles applicable to a going concern is in significant doubt.

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

a) Statement of compliance

These interim financial statements, including comparatives, have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards and interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee applicable to the preparation of interim financial statements including International Accounting Standard 34 Interim Financial Reporting . These interim financial statements do not include all disclosures required for annual audited financial statements and accordingly they should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 and notes thereto (the “annual financial statements”), which include the information necessary or useful to understanding the Company’s business and financial statement presentation.

These interim financial statements were prepared using accounting policies consistent with those in the annual financial statements.

These interim financial statements were authorized for issue in accordance with a resolution from the Board of Directors on May 13, 2022.

b) Basis of measurement

These interim financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis except for those financial instruments which have been classified at fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”). In addition, except for cash flow information, these financial statements have been prepared using the accrual method of accounting.

==> picture [36 x 35] intentionally omitted <==

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION (continued)

c) Functional and presentation currency

The interim financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars (“Canadian dollar” or “CAD”), except as otherwise noted. The functional currency is the currency of the primary economic environment in which an entity operates. References to “C$” or “CAD” are to Canadian dollars and references to “USD” are to United States dollars.

d) Basis of consolidation

These interim financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated on consolidation. Control exists where the parent entity has power over the investee and is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. Subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date control commences until the date control ceases.

Subsequent to December 31, 2021, the Company filed an article of dissolution dissolving the operation of its subsidiary CopperBank Resources Alaska Inc. and Redhawk Resources (USA), Inc.. As such the consolidated financial statements, subsequent to the date of dissolution, comprise the financial statements of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries.

These interim financial statements incorporate the accounts of the Company and the following subsidiaries:

Country of Percentage Functional
Name of subsidiary **incorporation ** ownership currency Principal activity
1016079 B.C. Ltd. Canada 100% CAD Mining company
CopperBank Royalties Corp. Canada 100% CAD Mining company
Copper Creek Project LLC USA 100% USD Mining company
Enexco International Inc. USA 100% USD Mining company
Redhawk Copper Inc USA 100% USD Mining company
Redhawk Resources,Inc. Canada 100% CAD Mining company

e) Significant estimates and judgments

Apart from making estimates and assumptions as described below, the Company’s management makes critical judgments in the process of applying its accounting policies that have a significant effect on the amounts recognized in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The significant judgments that the Company’s management has made in the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies, apart from those involving estimation uncertainties, that have the most significant effect include, but are not limited to:

  • The indicators of impairment of property and equipment and resource properties:

Assets or cash-generating units (“CGUs”) are evaluated at each reporting date to determine whether there are any indications of impairment. The Company considers both internal and external sources of information when making the assessment of whether there are indications of impairment for the Company’s property and equipment and resource properties.

Significant judgment is required when determining whether facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount of resource properties may exceed its recoverable amount. The retention of regulatory permits and licenses; the Company’s ability to obtain financing for exploration and development activities and its future plans on the resource properties; current and future metal prices; and market sentiment are all factors considered by the Company.

In respect of the carrying value of property and equipment recorded on the consolidated statements of financial position, management has determined that it continues to be appropriately recorded, as there has been no obsolescence or physical damage to the assets and there are no indications that the value of the assets have declined more than what is expected from the passage of time or normal use.

  • The determination of the Company and its subsidiaries’ functional currency:

The Company determines the functional currency through an analysis of several indicators such as expenses and cash flow, financing activities, retention of operating cash flows, and frequency of transactions within the reporting entity.

==> picture [36 x 35] intentionally omitted <==

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION (continued)

  • The recognition of deferred income tax assets:

The Company has not recognized a deferred tax asset as management believes that it is not probable that taxable profit will be available against which a deductible temporary difference can be utilized.

Management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Significant areas requiring the use of management estimates include:

  • Interest rate used in determining the fair value of the liability component of its convertible debentures and long-term debt.

  • The inputs used in the Black-Scholes option pricing model to calculate the fair value of options.

While management believes that these estimates are reasonable, actual results could differ from those estimates and could impact future results of operations and cash flows.

f) New accounting policies

The Company has not adopted new accounting policies since its recent year ended December 31, 2021.

Copper Creek Resource Properties, Arizona

i) The Company acquired 100% of the Copper Creek project through the acquisition of Redhawk Resources Inc. (“Redhawk”) for a value of $4,955,328 in 2018.

ii) D & G Mining Agreement - In November 2005, Redhawk entered into a lease-to-purchase agreement with a third party for additional property within the Copper Creek boundaries. Redhawk paid US$80,000 in both 2006 and 2007 and was required to pay US$100,000 in November 2008 and annually thereafter until the end of year fifteen. In May 2018, the agreement was amended to reduce the annual payments to US$50,000. The Company has paid $62,926 (US$50,000) in 2021 and $68,482 (US$50,000) in 2020.

Redhawk has the option to purchase the property for US$3,000,000. Commencing January 1, 2022, 50% of the yearly lease payments made prior to exercising the option to purchase will be applied against the purchase price in the event that Redhawk exercises its property purchase option.

iii) Freeport Mineral Corporation Agreement - In April 2007, Redhawk entered into a purchase agreement with Freeport Mineral Corporation (“Freeport”) to acquire additional mining claims within the Copper Creek boundaries. The additional mining claims are subject to a 1% Net Smelter Return royalty.

On May 30, 2018, Redhawk entered into an amendment to the Fourth Workout Agreement with Freeport. The substance of the amended agreement is a conversion of interest and principal owing to Freeport into production decision royalty payments. The total will be US$3,000,000 paid in six equal annual instalments of US$500,000 per annum. The payments are contingent upon Redhawk or successors achieving a defined commercial production of minerals. As a result of this amendment, no liabilities in connection with this promissory note has been recorded as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

iv) Morgan Agreements - In December 2012, Redhawk acquired patented land from two unrelated parties for total consideration of US$1,200,000. Redhawk was required to pay $nil in 2021 (2020 - $63,660 (US$50,000)). The outstanding balance related to this obligation of $63,660 (US$50,000) was paid in March 2021.

Contact Copper Property, Nevada

The Company owns a 100% interest in the Contact Copper property located in Elko County, Nevada. This property was fully impaired during the year ended December 31, 2015. All permits of this resource property are in good standing.

As at March 31, 2022, the Company had deposited $8,235 (December 31, 2021 - $8,335) for the reclamation deposits of the Contact Copper property in Nevada and for the Copper Creek property in Arizona.

6. CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES

On June 17, 2019, the Company closed a non-brokered private placement of convertible debentures (“CDs”) for gross proceeds of $263,000. Each CD had a face value of $1,000 and interest rate of 15% per annum, payable monthly. The CDs had a maturity date of June 14, 2021. Each CD was convertible into common shares of the Company at the option of the holder at any time prior to maturity at a conversion price of $0.28 per common share. The Company had the option to redeem. Each CD at a price equal to its principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest. The interest rate on the CDs approximated the market interest rate when determining the fair value of the liability component. Thus, no value was assigned to the equity component.

During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company repaid the outstanding principal and accrued interest of the CDs. The amount of interest paid during the three months ended March 31, 2022 was $nil (2021 - $9,525).

7. LOAN PAYABLE AND NOTE PAYABLE

a) CEBA loan

The remaining contractual life of the Company’s options as at March 31, 2022, was 3.89 years (December 31, 2021 - 4.07 years).

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the weighted average share price on the date of exercise of the stock options was $0.40 per share (December 31, 2021 - $0.39).

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company incurred share-based compensation of $860,830 in connection with options vested (2021 - $112,947). The Company used the Black-Scholes option pricing model and the following assumptions to determine the fair values of the stock options:

February 1, 2022 February 16, 2022
Stock price $0.64 $0.74
Risk-free interest rate 1.65% 1.80%
Expected life of the option (years) 5.00 5.00
Annualized volatility 116% 115%
Dividend rate 0.00% 0.00%

The expected volatility is based on the historical volatility (based on the remaining life of the options), adjusted for any expected changes to future volatility due to publicly available information. The risk-free rate of return is the yield on a zerocoupon Canadian Treasury Bill of a term consistent with the assumed option life. The expected average option term is the average expected period to exercise, based on the historical activity patterns for each individually vesting tranche. Option pricing models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected price volatility. Changes in these assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate.

10. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company’s financial instruments are exposed to several financial and market risks, including credit, interest rate, liquidity, and commodity risks. The Company may, or may not, establish from time-to-time active policies to manage these risks. The Company does not currently have in place any active hedging or derivative trading policies to manage these risks since the Company’s management does not believe that the current size, scale and pattern of cash flow of its operations would warrant such hedging activities.

Fair value of financial instruments

The fair value hierarchy established by IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement has three levels to classify the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value described as follows:

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 assets or liabilities either directly or indirectly; and Level 3 – Inputs that are not based on observable market data.

The fair values of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, loans payable, and due to related parties are equivalent to their carrying values due to their short-term nature.

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of potential loss to the Company if the counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations.

The financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a significant concentration of credit risk consist of cash and cash equivalents. The Company mitigates its exposure to credit loss associated with cash and cash equivalents by placing its cash and cash equivalents in major financial institutions. As at March 31, 2022, the Company had cash equivalents of $110,000 in term deposits (December 31, 2021 - $2,300).

Liquidity risk and fair value hierarchy

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company may be unable to meet its financial obligations as they fall due or that it will be required to meet them at excessive cost. The Company reviews its working capital position regularly to ensure there is sufficient capital in order to meet short-term business requirements, after taking into account the Company’s holdings of cash. The Company’s cash is invested in business accounts, which are available on demand. The Company manages its liquidity risk mainly through raising funds from private placements and amounts from related parties.

The Company's operating cash requirements are continuously monitored and adjusted as input variables change. As these variables change, liquidity risks may necessitate the need for the Company to pursue equity issuances, obtain project or debt financing, or enter into joint arrangements. There is no assurance that the necessary financing will be available in a timely manner.

Commodity risk

Commodity risk is the risk that the Company is subject to commodity price risk arising from the fluctuation of metal price beyond the Company's control. The Company may have difficulties to identify and acquire economically viable projects for the Company to invest in if metal prices are depressed for an extended period.

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the Company is exposed to the risk that the value of financial instruments will change due to movements in market interest rates. As of March 31, 2022, the Company did not have debt instruments exposed to variable interest rate. The risk is not significant.

10. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued)

Foreign currency risk

Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities will fluctuate due to changes in foreign exchange rates.

The Company is exposed to foreign currency risk to the extent that monetary assets and liabilities held by the Company are not denominated in its functional currency. The Company does not manage currency risk through hedging or other currency management tools.

As at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company’s exposure to foreign currency risk on its financial instruments is as follows:

March 31, 2022 December 31, 2021
Cash **USD ** 275,774 USD 8,614
Canadian dollar equivalent $ 344,608 $ 10,967

A 5% change in the US dollar against the Canadian dollar at March 31, 2022 would result in an a $17,230 impact to the Company.

11. SEGMENTED INFORMATION

The Company operates primarily in one business segment, which is the exploration and development of resource properties located in the United States. As at March 31, 2022, the Company’s non-current assets were $10,653,875 (December 31, 2021 - $6,961,167), which comprised mainly of resource properties, property and equipment, and reclamation bonds that are in the United States.
