Montage Gold Corp Notes to Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 (All amounts expressed in Canadian Dollars, unless otherwise indicated) (Unaudited)
1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS
Montage Gold Corp. (“Montage” or the “Company”) is a resource company engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties in Africa and has not yet determined whether these properties contain mineral reserves that are economically recoverable. The continued operations of Montage and the recoverability of the amounts shown for mineral properties is dependent upon the existence of economically recoverable reserves, the ability of Montage to obtain necessary financing to complete the exploration and development of such properties and upon future profitable production from or disposition of such properties
On October 23, 2020, Montage completed its initial public offering of an aggregate of 27,272,728 common shares at a price of $1.10 per share for total proceeds of $30 million and commenced trading on the TSXV (“MAU”) (see subsequent event note 14).
On October 30, 2020 the underwriters fully exercised their over-allotment option to acquire an additional 4,090,909 shares at the offering price resulting in additional aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $4.5 million.
Montage was incorporated as a wholly owned subsidiary of Orca Gold Inc. (“Orca”) under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) on July 4, 2019 and its registered office is located at Suite 2000, 885 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, V6C3E8.
2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
These condensed interim consolidated 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 IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting. As such, certain disclosures included in the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS have been condensed or omitted. Accordingly, these condensed interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019. In preparation of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements, the Company has consistently applied the same accounting policies as disclosed in Note 4 to the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019.
The condensed interim financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 have been prepared on a continuity of interest basis of accounting. Prior to the July 13, 2019 acquisition of assets from Orca, the assets, liabilities, results of operations and cash flows of Montage are presented on a ‘carveout’ basis from the consolidated financial statements and accounting records of Orca, in accordance with the financial reporting framework specified in subsection 3.11(6) of National Instrument 52-107, Acceptable Accounting Principles and Auditing Standards, for carve-out financial statements.
The preparation of the September 30, 2019 condensed interim financial statements pursuant to the carveout basis of accounting required the identification and allocation of pre-acquisition assets, liabilities, results from operations and cash flows of Orca, which are deemed to be attributable to the Company. In performing the allocation, management was required to make certain judgments, including that the use of relative levels of exploration activity during any given period is a reasonable basis to allocate common expenses.
These condensed interim financial statements were authorized for issuance by the Board of Directors of the Company on November 25, 2020.

including site infrastructure, containers and equipment. The impairments reflected the deteriorating conditions in the country and the current operating conditions at its permit areas in Burkina Faso. On November 3, 2020, the Company completed its sale of its interests in Burkina Faso (see subsequent event note 14).
13. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents and accounts payable. The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated statements of financial position for cash and cash equivalents, other receivables, and accounts payable approximate their fair value because of the immediate or shortterm maturity of these financial instruments.
The Company’s financial instruments are exposed to certain financial risks, including currency, credit and liquidity risk.
a) Currency risk
Foreign currency risk can arise when the Company or its subsidiaries transact in currencies other than their functional currencies or have net financial assets or liabilities which are denominated in currencies other than their respective functional currencies.
As at September 30, 2020, the Company did not have any material foreign currency risk exposure at its operations in Cote d’Ivoire or Burkina Faso.
b) Credit risk
Credit risks associated with cash is minimal as the Company deposits the majority of its cash with a large Canadian financial institution that has a strong investment grade rating.
c) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company’s financial liabilities are comprised of accounts payable and accrued liabilities. The Company frequently assesses its liquidity position by reviewing the timing of amounts due and the Company’s current cash flow position to meet its obligations. The Company manages its liquidity risk by maintaining sufficient cash and cash equivalents balances to meet its anticipated operational needs. The Company’s accounts payable and accrued liabilities arose as a result of exploration and development of its exploration and evaluation assets and other corporate expenses.
14. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The Company received consideration of approximately A$240,000 through the issuance of 4,028,477 common shares of Predictive Discovery Limited. With the completion of this sale, the Company no longer holds any property interests in Burkina Faso.
