1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN
Imagine Lithium Inc. (formerly Infinite Ore Corp.) (the "Company") is incorporated under the Business Corporations Act of British Columbia.
The Company is a mineral exploration company focused on acquiring and exploring exploration and evaluation assets in North America.
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared with the assumption that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business rather than through a process of forced liquidation for the foreseeable future. The operations of the Company were primarily funded by the issue of share capital and loans. The continued operations of the Company are dependent on its ability to develop a sufficient financing plan, receive continued financial support from related parties, complete sufficient public equity financing, or generate profitable operations in the future. These condensed interim consolidated 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.
As at October 31, 2022, the Company had working capital of $3,927,457, recorded a net loss of $2,574,350 for the period ended, and had accumulated a total deficit of $24,930,396. The Company is in the business of exploring for minerals that by its nature involves a high degree of risk. There can be no assurance that current exploration programs will result in profitable mining operations. The recoverability of the carrying value of the exploration and evaluation assets and the Company's continued existence is dependent upon the preservation of its interest in the underlying properties, the discovery of economically recoverable reserves, the achievement of profitable operations, the ability of the Company to obtain financing or, alternatively, upon the Company's ability to dispose of its interest on an advantageous basis. The Company will need to raise additional funds to further its exploration and development programs. These material uncertainties may cast significant doubt upon the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared coronavirus COVID-19 a global pandemic. This contagious disease outbreak, which has continued to spread, and any related adverse public health developments, has adversely affected workforces, economies, and financial markets globally, potentially leading to an economic downturn. It is not possible for the Company to predict the duration or magnitude of the adverse results of the outbreak and its effects on the Company's business or ability to raise funds. Management believes it has sufficient funding to continue operations for at least one year.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of compliance
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements of Imagine Lithium Inc. and its subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting. These condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not include all notes of the type normally included within the annual financial report and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended January 31, 2022 and 2021, which has been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.
The policies applied in the condensed interim consolidated financial statements are presented below and are based on IFRS issued and outstanding as of December 22, 2022, the date the Board of Directors approved the condensed interim consolidated financial statements.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Basis of consolidation
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Alix resources de Mexico S.A. de C.V and Exploradora Cobre de Banconoras de R.L.C.V. companies incorporated under the laws of Mexico. At October 31, 2022, the principal activity of the Company's subsidiaries was that of holding companies. Control exists when the Company has the power, directly or indirectly, to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity as to obtain benefits from its activities. All inter-company balances have been eliminated upon consolidation.
Use of estimates and judgments
The preparation of the condensed interim consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.
(i) Critical accounting estimates
Critical accounting estimates are estimates and assumptions made by management that may result in a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities within the next financial year and are, but are not limited to, the following:
The carrying value and the recoverability of exploration and evaluation assets - Management has determined that exploration and evaluation costs incurred which were capitalized may have future economic benefits and may be economically recoverable. Management uses several criteria in its assessments of economic recoverability and probability of future economic benefits including geologic and other technical information, scoping and feasibility studies, accessibility of facilities and existing permits.
Share-based compensation - The fair value of stock options issued are subject to the limitation of the Black-Scholes option pricing model which incorporates market data and which involves uncertainty and subjectivity in estimates used by management in the assumptions. Changes in the input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate of stock options.
Recovery of deferred tax assets - Judgment is required in determining whether deferred tax assets are recognized in the statement of financial position. Deferred tax assets, including those arising from unutilized tax losses, require management to assess the likelihood that the Company will generate taxable earnings in future periods, in order to utilize recognized deferred tax assets. Estimates of future taxable income are based on forecast cash flows from operations and the application of existing tax laws in each jurisdiction. To the extent that future cash flows and taxable income differ significantly from estimates, the ability of the Company to realize the net deferred tax assets recorded at the date of the consolidated statement of financial position could be impacted.
Additionally, future changes in tax laws in the jurisdictions in which the Company operates could limit the ability of the Company to obtain tax deductions in future periods.
The Company has not recorded any deferred tax assets.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Use of estimates and judgments (continued)
Decommissioning restoration provision - The provision for decommissioning and restoration provision represents management's best estimate of the present value of the future cash outflows required to settle the liability. The provision reflects estimates of future costs, inflation, and assumptions of risks associated with the future cash outflows, and the applicable risk-adjusted discount rate for the discounting future cash outflows. Changes in the above factors can result in a change to the provision recognized by the Company. Changes to the restoration and decommissioning costs are recorded with a corresponding change to the carrying amount of the related mining property. Adjustments to the carrying amounts of the related mineral property can result in a change to future depletion expenses.
As of October 31, 2022, the Company has no decommissioning and restoration provision.
(ii) Critical accounting judgments
Information about critical judgments in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the condensed interim consolidated financial statements are, but are not limited to, the following:
Determination of functional currency - In accordance with IAS 21, "The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates" management determined that the functional currency of the parent Company as well as the Company's subsidiaries is the Canadian dollar.
3. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it, based on the funds available to the Company, in order to support the acquisition, and exploration of mineral properties. The Board of Directors does not establish quantitative return on capital criteria for management, but rather relies on the expertise of the Company's management to sustain future development of the business. Management considers the Company's capital structure to primarily consist of the components of shareholders' equity.
The properties in which the Company currently has an interest are in the exploration stage; as such the Company is dependent on external financing to fund its activities. In order to carry out the planned exploration and pay for administrative costs, the Company will spend its existing working capital and raise additional amounts as needed.
The Company will continue to assess new properties and seek to acquire an interest in additional properties if it feels there is sufficient geologic or economic potential and if it has adequate financial resources to do so. Management reviews its capital management approach on an ongoing basis and believes that this approach, given the relative size of the Company, is reasonable.
There were no changes in the Company's approach to capital management during the period ended October 31, 2022. Neither the Company nor its subsidiaries are subject to externally imposed capital requirements.
4. FINANCIAL RISK FACTORS
The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximated their fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments.
Financial instruments measured at fair value on the condensed interim consolidated statements of financial position are summarized in levels of fair value hierarchy as follows:
| Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Total | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Assets | ||||
| Cash and cash equivalents | $1,839,205 | $- | $- | $1,839,205 |
| Marketable securities | $1,000,000 | $- | $- | $1,000,000 |
The Company's risk exposures and the impact on the Company's financial instruments are summarized below:
Credit risk
The Company's credit risk is primarily attributable to cash and cash equivalents, and commodity tax recoverable. Cash and cash equivalents are held in large financial institutions. Commodity tax recoverable is due from a government agency.
Liquidity risk
The Company's approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet liabilities when due. The Company's financial liabilities have contractual maturities of less than 30 days and are subject to normal trade terms. The Company is exposed to liquidity risk.
Market risk
(a) Interest rate risk
The Company is currently in a positive working capital position and some of its accounts payable and accrued liabilities are subject to interest on unpaid balances.
(b) Foreign currency risk
The Company's functional currency is the Canadian dollar and major purchases are transacted in Canadian dollars. The Company funds certain operations, exploration and administrative expenses in the United States on a cash call basis using US dollar currency converted from its Canadian dollar bank accounts held in Canada. The Company has limited foreign currency exposure.
(c) Price risk
The Company is exposed to price risk with respect to commodity prices. The Company closely monitors commodity prices to determine the appropriate course of action to be taken by the Company.
