1. NATURE AND CONTINUANCE OF OPERATIONS

Benjamin Hill Mining Corp. (formerly Mojave Gold Corp.) (the "Company") was incorporated on August 21, 2014 under the Business Corporations Act of British Columbia. The head office of the Company is 1050 - 12471 Horseshoe Way, Richmond, BC, V7A 4X6. The registered and records office is Suite 1400, 1125 Howe Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6Z 2K8. The common shares of the Company are listed on the Canadian Securities Exchange ("CSE") and as of April 26, 2021 now trades under the symbol "BNN" (formerly traded under the symbol "MOJ").

The Company is in the business of the exploration and development of natural resource properties in Canada and Mexico.

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. As at May 31, 2021 the Company has not generated any revenues from operations, has a working capital deficiency of $463,134 and accumulated deficit of $4,636,672.

The continued operations of the Company are dependent on its ability to generate future cash flows or obtain additional financing. Management assesses that sufficient working capital will be obtained from external financing to meet the Company's liabilities and commitments as they become due, although there is a risk that additional financing will not be available on a timely basis or on terms acceptable to the Company. These condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not reflect any adjustments that may be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. These conditions indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

If the going concern assumption is not appropriate for these condensed consolidated interim financial statements, then adjustments would be necessary to the carrying value of assets and liabilities, the reported expenses, and the classifications used could be material.

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, have 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 results of operations at this time.

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements were authorized for issue on July 30, 2021 by the directors of the Company.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standards ("IAS") 34, Interim Financial Reporting.

These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary. The Company's subsidiary is Mojave Gold SA De CV, which was incorporated in Mexico. A subsidiary is any entity controlled by the Company. Control exists when the Company has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity; is exposed to variable returns in connection with its interest in the entity; and a linkage exists between this power and exposure to variable returns. Subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial results of the Company from the effective date of acquisition up to the effective date of disposal or loss of control.

All intra-group transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated, in full, on consolidation.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION (CONTINUED)

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not include all of the information required for full annual financial statements prepared in accordance with with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") and, accordingly, should be read in conjunction with the Company's annual financial statements for the year ended August 31, 2020.

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, modified where applicable. In addition, these condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting.

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements are presented in Canadian Dollars, which is also the Company and its subsidiary's functional currency, unless otherwise indicated.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS, ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS

The preparation of the condensed consolidated interim 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.

In preparing these condensed consolidated interim financial statements, significant judgments made by management in applying the Company's accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the annual financial statements for the year ended August 31, 2020.

4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accounting policies applied by the Company in these condensed consolidated interim financial statements are the same as those applied by the Company as at and for the year ended August 31, 2020.

Foreign Currency Transactions

The functional currency is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates. The functional currency determinations were conducted through an analysis of the consideration factors identified in IAS 21, The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates.

At the transaction date, each asset, liability, revenue and expense denominated in a foreign currency is translated into the functional currency by the use of the exchange rate in effect at that date. At the year end date, unsettled monetary assets and liabilities are translated into the functional currency by using the exchange rate in effect at the year end and the related translation differences are recognized in the Company's profit or loss.

Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured at historical cost are translated into the functional currency by using the exchange rate in effect at the date of the initial transaction and are not subsequently restated. Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value or a revalued amount are translated into the functional currency by using the exchange rate in effect at the date the value is determined and the related translation differences are recognized in profit or loss or other comprehensive loss, consistent with where the gain or loss on the underlying non-monetary asset or liability has been recognized.

The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of economic conditions. The Company, upon approval from its Board of Directors, will make changes to its capital structure as deemed appropriate under the specific circumstances.

10. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISKS

Fair Value

The Company's financial instruments consist of cash, amounts receivable, accounts payable, loan payable and due to / from related parties. The fair value of all financial instruments approximate their carrying values. Cash is classified as fair value through profit and loss and amounts receivable is classified at amortized cost. Accounts payable, due to / from related parties and loan payable are classified as amortized cost.

The Company's financial instrument is exposed to a number of risks that are summarized below:

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they become due or can do so only at excessive cost. The Company is exposed to the risk that it may not have sufficient liquid assets to meet its commitments associated with these financial liabilities.

The Company's approach to managing liquidity is to ensure that it will always have sufficient cash to meet its liabilities when due, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company's reputation. To the extent that the Company does not believe it has sufficient liquidity to meet these obligations, management will consider securing additional funds through equity transactions. The Company manages its liquidity risk by continuously monitoring cash flow requirements relating to its anticipated exploration and evaluation activities as well as general overhead requirements.

Credit Risk

Credit risk is the risk of loss associated with a counter party's inability to fulfill its payment obligations. The Company's credit risk is primarily attributable to its cash balances. The Company manages its credit risk on bank deposits by holding deposits in high credit quality banking institutions in Canada.

Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. As the Company's cash is currently held in non-interest bearing bank account, management considers the interest rate risk to be minimal.

10. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISKS (CONTINUED)

Commodity Price Risk

The ability of the Company to finance the exploration and development of its properties and the future profitability of the Company is directly related to the market price of the primary minerals identified in its mineral properties. Mineral prices fluctuate on a daily basis and are affected by a number of factors beyond the Company's control. A sustained, significant decline in the prices of the primary minerals or in the share prices of junior mineral exploration companies in general, could have a negative impact on the Company's ability to raise additional capital. Sensitivity to commodity price risk is remote since the Company has not established any reserves or production.

Foreign Exchange Risk

Foreign exchange risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in the foreign currency exchange rates. The Company's functional currency is the Canadian dollar. All of the Company's financial instruments are denominated in Canadian dollars. The Company conducts some of its business in US dollars and is therefore exposed to variations in the foreign exchange rate. In management's opinion there is no material foreign exchange risk to the Company.

11. SEGMENTED INFORMATION

The Company operates in one reportable operating segment, being the acquisition, exploration and development of exploration and evaluation assets.

The Company operates in both Canada and Mexico. The Company's exploration and evaluation assets are located in Canada and Mexico.
