ARCPACIFIC RESOURCES CORP. NOTES TO CONDENSED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JULY 31, 2021 AND 2020 (UNAUDITED - EXPRESSED IN CANADIAN DOLLARS)

1. NATURE AND CONTINUANCE OF OPERATIONS

ArcPacific Resources Corp. (the “Company”) was incorporated pursuant to the British Columbia Business Corporations Act on February 1, 2011. The Company changed its name to ArcPacific Resources Corp. on December 21, 2016. The Company’s shares are listed for trading on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol “ACP”.

The address of the Company’s corporate office and its principal place of business is 1001 - 1166 Alberni Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada V6E 3Z3.

The principal business of the Company is the identification, evaluation and acquisition of mineral properties in Canada. As at July 31, 2021, the Company owned a 100% interest in the Lucky Mike Mineral Property, the Rickard Gold Mine Property, the Mine Property adjacent to the Rickard Gold Mine Property, the Three Crown Patents adjacent to the Rickard Gold Mine Property, the Blackdome Mineral Property and the Silver Lode Claims (collectively “the Properties”). During the period ended July 31, 2021, the Company continues to be active in the investigation of the viability of the Rickard Gold Mine Property during phase 1 of its drilling program. The Company has not yet determined whether any of the properties it owns may contain a mineral resource that may eventually be economically recoverable. During the period ended July 31, 2021, the Company disposed of its investment in its subsidiary (Note 5). The economic viability of the Properties will depend on the establishment of ore reserves, the confirmation of the Company's interest in the mineral claims and the ability of the Company to obtain the necessary financing to complete its development and place it into commercial production.

These condensed interim financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that the Company will continue its operations for the foreseeable future. The Company has incurred losses since its inception and has an accumulated deficit of $5,191,111 (January 31, 2021 - $4,993,283) and working capital deficiency of $188,444 as at July 31, 2021 (January 31, 2021 – working capital of $730,105). The Company's ability to continue its operations and to realize assets at their carrying values is dependent upon obtaining additional financing or maintaining continued support from its shareholders and creditors and generating profitable operations in the future.

In March 2020, there was a global outbreak of COVID-19 (coronavirus), which has had a significant impact on businesses through the restrictions put in place by the Canadian, provincial and municipal governments regarding travel, business operations and isolation/quarantine orders. At this time, it is unknown the extent of the impact the COVID-19 outbreak may have on the Company as this will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and that cannot be predicted with confidence. These uncertainties arise from the inability to predict the ultimate geographic spread of the disease, and the duration of the outbreak, including the duration of travel restrictions, business closures or disruptions, and quarantine/isolation measures that are currently, or may be put, in place by Canada and other countries to fight the virus. While the extent of the impact is unknown, we anticipate this outbreak might increase the difficulty in capital raising which may negatively impact the Company’s business and financial condition.

These factors give rise to a material uncertainty which casts significant doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These condensed 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 in business. Such adjustments could be material.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION

  • a) Statement of compliance

The condensed interim financial statements are prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting (“IAS 34”) using accounting policies consistent with the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and Interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”). They do not include all financial information required for full annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Audited Financial Statements of the Company for the year ended January 31, 2021.

The condensed interim financial statements were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on September 29, 2021.

b) Functional currency

The functional and presentation currency of the Company is the Canadian dollar.

c) Measurement basis

The condensed interim financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for certain financial instruments which are measured at fair value, as explained in the accounting policies set out in Note 3(l). In addition, these condensed interim financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting, except for cash flow information.

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

  • a) Significant accounting estimates and judgments

In preparing these condensed interim financial statements, the significant accounting policies and the significant judgments made by management in applying the Company’s significant accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended January 31, 2021.

The preparation of condensed interim financial statements requires that the Company’s management make judgments and estimates of effects of uncertain future events on the carrying amounts of the Company’s assets and liabilities at the end of the reporting period. Actual future outcomes could differ from present estimates and judgments, potentially having material future effects on the Company’s condensed interim financial statements. Estimates are reviewed on an ongoing basis and are based on historical experience and other facts and circumstances. Revisions to estimates and the resulting effects on the carrying amounts of the Company’s assets and liabilities are accounted for prospectively.

Estimate and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis and may change if new information becomes available. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in future periods if the revision affects both the current and future periods.

Significant assumptions about the future and other sources of estimation uncertainty that management has made at the financial position reporting date, that could result in a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities, in the event that actual results differ from assumptions made, relate to, but are not limited to, the following:

  1. EXPLORATION AND EVALUATION ASSETS (CONTINUED)

Lucky Mike Mineral Project, British Columbia

On July 20, 2011, the Company entered into an option agreement (the “Lucky Mike Agreement”) with a non-related third party (the “Lucky Mike Optionor”). The Lucky Mike Agreement was amended on September 13, 2012 and subsequently amended on November 14, 2013. The Company was granted an exclusive option to acquire a 100% interest in certain mineral claims located in the Nicola Mining Division, British Columbia. The claims consist of 29 contiguous mineral claims comprising 6,085.74 hectares. In order to earn its option, the Company paid $55,000 in cash, issued 33,333 common shares valued at $30,000 to the Lucky Mike Optionor and incurred $900,000 in exploration work.

In accordance with the terms of the Lucky Mike Agreement, the Lucky Mike Optionor will retain a 2% net smelter returns royalty (the “NSR”) in respect of the property. The Company has the option to purchase the NSR for $1,000,000 at any time during a five-year period commencing from the date of commercial production.

On September 24, 2014, the Company entered into an agreement (the “Farm Out Agreement”) as amended on June 14, 2016 with two Korean-registered companies, namely, Nexgeo Inc. (“Nexgeo”) and Korea Resources Corporation (“Kores”), whereby both companies (the “Consortium”) would jointly contribute expenditures in the exploration of the Lucky Mike property thereby earning a right to acquire a 69% interest in the Lucky Mike Mineral Project (the “Project”) under the following terms:

  • a. An aggregate of $500,000 (the “First Exploration Contribution”) to fund an initial work program for the Project, which has been approved by the Consortium. The Consortium must pay $250,000 to the Company no later than September 5, 2014 (received) and $100,000 to the Company no later than September 30, 2014 (received). The balance of $150,000 (received) must be paid upon completion of drilling at the Project site pursuant to an initial work program;

  • b. An additional $1,104,824 (the “Second Exploration Contribution”) (received) to fund at least one work program for the Project approved by the Consortium, which must be undertaken and completed by the Company during the period from January 1, 2015 to December 31, 2015; and

  • c. An additional $800,000 (the “Third Exploration Contribution”) (received) to fund at least one work program for the Project approved by Consortium, which must be undertaken and completed by the Company during the period from January 1, 2016 to December 31, 2016.

Upon completion of the work program under the Third Exploration Contribution, the Company would transfer to the Consortium a 69% interest in the Project.

The Consortium has the right at any time to exercise an off-ramp option (the “Off-Ramp Option”) during the term of the Farm Out Agreement and/or within 30 days after receiving an official technical report on the most recently completed work program during the period from January 1, 2016 to December 31, 2016, at its own discretion by giving 30 days written notice to the Company, and upon exercise of the Off-Ramp Option, the Farm Out Agreement and all rights and obligations of the parties under the agreement would terminate.

If, after making the Third Exploration Contribution, the Consortium exercises the Off-Ramp Option then the Consortium would be deemed to have renounced all its rights or interest in the Project and would have no right to acquire any portion of any interest in the Project and would have no further obligations or liabilities to the Company.

4. EXPLORATION AND EVALUATION ASSETS (CONTINUED)

Lucky Mike Mineral Project, British Columbia

Upon the Consortium acquiring 69% interest in the Project, the Farm Out Agreement will terminate and the parties will form a joint venture (the “Joint Venture”) for the purpose of carrying out all such acts which are necessary or appropriate, directly or indirectly, to hold the Project, explore the Project for minerals, and if feasible develop a mine thereon, and so long as it is feasible, operate such mine and exploit the mineral extracted from the Project.

On August 4, 2017, the Company executed a deed of release and amendment on the Farm Out Agreement with the Consortium to release Nexgeo from the joint exploration agreement and to transfer its 13% interest in the Project to the Company in consideration for shares of the Company. During the year ended January 31, 2020, the Company’s ownership of the Lucky Mike property increased from 31% to 44%.

On August 3, 2018, the Company amended the agreement with Kores to extend Kores' right of first refusal with respect to the Project by a period of one year. Pursuant to the amending agreement, Kores held the right to acquire a 56% interest in the Project until August 3, 2019 but opted not to exercise the right. As a result, the Company has a 100% interest of Lucky Mike property as of July 31, 2021.

Silver Lode Claims, British Columbia

On August 10, 2020, the Company acquired the 2,065 hectare "Silver Lode" claims (the "Claims") by means of staking and has significantly expanded the Company's land position in the historic Nicola mining division, near Merritt in southern British Columbia.

Three Crown Patents adjacent to Rickard Gold, Ontario

On November 17, 2020, the Company completed a purchase and sale agreement with an arm’s length Ontario based private company and acquired 100% of three patented land parcels totalling 500 acres.

On September 18, 2020, the Company acquired a 100% interest in the Rickard Gold mine property (the “Rickard Gold Property”) pursuant to an assignment agreement (the "Assignment Agreement") with a private company, Tauro Capital Corp. ("Tauro"), dated September 9, 2020. Tauro previously entered into an option agreement (the "Rickard Gold Option Agreement") with Recoskie Contracting Limited and Edward J.

Fair value of financial instruments

IFRS 7, Financial Instruments: Disclosures , establishes a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. The fair value hierarchy has the following levels:

Level 1 - quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

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

Level 3 - inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

The following table sets forth the Company’s financial assets measured at fair value by level within the fair value hierarchy as follows:

As at July 31, 2021
Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total

  1. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENT AND FINANCIAL RISK (CONTINUED)

(ii) Interest rate risk

The Company is exposed to interest rate risk on the variable rate of interest earned on bank deposits. The fair value interest rate risk on bank deposits is insignificant as the deposits are short-term. The Company has not entered into any derivative instruments to manage interest rate fluctuations.

(iii) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of an unexpected loss if a customer or third party to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risks consist principally of cash. To minimize the credit risk on cash, the Company places the instrument with a high credit quality financial institution.

(iv) Liquidity risk

In the management of liquidity risk of the Company, the Company maintains a balance between continuity of funding and the flexibility through the use of borrowings. Management closely monitors the liquidity position and expects to have adequate sources of funding to finance the Company’s projects and operations. As at July 31, 2021, the Company had cash of $151,714 (January 31, 2021 - $1,276,004) to settle current liabilities of $419,696 (January 31, 2021 - $458,231) which fall due for payment within 12 months.
