(Expressed in Canadian dollars, unless otherwise noted - Unaudited)
1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN UNCERTAINTY
Freeman Gold Corp. (formerly Lodge Resources Inc.) (the "Company") was incorporated in the Province of British Columbia on October 24, 2018, under the Business Corporations Act of British Columbia. The Company is in the business of exploring exploration and evaluation assets. The Company's registered office is Suite 1500 – 1055 W. Georgia Street, Vancouver BC V6E 4N7 and its business office is located at 1570 – 505 Burrard Street, Vancouver, BC V7X 1M5. The Company’s shares are listed on the Canadian Securities Exchange (“CSE”) under the symbol “FMAN”.
On April 16, 2020, (the “Closing Date”), the Company completed a share exchange transaction (the “RTO”) with 1132144 B.C. Ltd. (“113BC”), the parent company of Lower 48 Resources Inc. (“Lower 48 BC”) and Lower 48 Resources (Idaho) LLC (“Lower 48”), whereby the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding common shares of 113BC through the issuance of 33,740,000 common shares of the Company, subject to escrow terms (see Note 10) to 113BC’s shareholders. Additionally, the Company issued 3,500,000 common shares as finder fee shares to an arm’s length finder that facilitated the RTO. Prior to the Closing Date, 14,257,770 common shares of the Company were outstanding. Following the Closing Date, 51,497,770 common shares of the Company were outstanding, with 66% of the Company’s shares held by shareholders of 113BC.
Management determined that the RTO transaction constituted a reverse acquisition for accounting purposes whereby 113BC acquired the Company. For accounting purposes, 113BC is treated as the accounting acquirer (legal subsidiary), and the Company is treated as the accounting acquiree (legal parent) in these condensed consolidated interim financial statements. As 113BC was deemed to be the acquirer for accounting purposes, its assets, liabilities and operations since incorporation are included in these condensed consolidated interim financial statements at their historical carrying values. The Company’s results of operations are included from the Closing Date. The comparative figures are those of 113BC prior to the reverse acquisition.
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 for the foreseeable future. As at May 31, 2021, the Company is not able to finance day to day activities through operations and has an accumulated deficit of $12,795,211. The continuing operations of the Company are dependent upon its ability to develop a viable business and to attain profitable operations and generate funds therefrom. This indicates the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management intends to finance operating costs with loans from directors and companies controlled by directors and/or issuance of common shares. If the Company is unable to continue as a going concern, the net realizable value of its assets may be materially less than the amounts on its statement of financial position.
On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the global outbreak of a novel coronavirus identified as “COVID-19” a global pandemic. In order to combat the spread of COVID-19, governments worldwide have enacted emergency measures including travel bans, legally enforced or self-imposed quarantine periods, social distancing and business and organization closures. These measures have caused material disruptions to businesses, governments and other organizations resulting in an economic slowdown and increased volatility in national and global equity and commodity markets. Central banks and governments, including Canadian federal and provincial governments, have reacted with significant monetary and fiscal interventions designed to stabilize economic conditions. The duration and impact of the COVID-19 outbreak is unknown at this time, as is the efficacy of any interventions. It is not possible to reliably estimate the length and severity of these developments and the impact on the financial results and condition of the Company and its operations in future periods.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS May 31, 2021 and May 31, 2020
FREEMAN GOLD CORP.
(Formerly Lodge Resources Inc.)
(Expressed in Canadian dollars, unless otherwise noted - Unaudited)
2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
a) Statement of compliance
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 - Interim Financial Reporting using accounting policies consistent with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. As such, these condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not contain all the disclosures required by IFRS for annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited annual consolidated financial statements for the years ended November 30, 2020 and 2019.
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors and authorized for issue on July 22, 2021.
b) Basis of presentation
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared using the historical cost basis, except for certain financial assets and liabilities which are measured at fair value, as specified by IFRS for each type of asset, liability, income and expense as set out in the accounting policies below.
c) Functional and presentation currency
The presentation and functional currency of the Company and its subsidiaries is considered to be the Canadian dollar. Transactions in currencies other than the Canadian dollar are recorded at the rates of exchange prevailing on the dates of transactions. At the end of each reporting period, monetary assets and liabilities that are denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rates prevailing at that date. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated.
d) Basis of consolidation
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements include the accounts of the Company, and its whollyowned subsidiaries including Lodge Minerals Inc., 113BC, Lower 48 BC and Lower 48 (see Notes 1 and 3). 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 financial statements from the date control commences until the date control ceases. All inter-company balances, transactions, revenues and expenses have been eliminated on consolidation.
e) Significant accounting estimates and judgments
The preparation of these condensed consolidated interim financial statements requires management to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual outcomes could differ from these estimates.
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements include estimates which, by their nature, are uncertain. The impacts of such estimates are pervasive throughout the financial statements and may require accounting adjustments based on future occurrences. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised and in future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods. These estimates are based on historical experience, current and future economic conditions and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Significant assumptions about the future and other sources of estimation uncertainty that management has made at year end 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 the following:

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
e) Significant accounting estimates and judgments (continued)
(i) Critical accounting estimates
Valuation of options and warrants
The fair value of common share purchase options and warrants granted is determined at the issue date using the Black-Scholes pricing model. The fair value of common shares issued for finders’ fees are based on the closing price of the transaction those fees pertain to.
Current and deferred taxes
The determination of tax expense for the period and deferred tax assets and liabilities involves significant estimation and judgment by management. In determining these amounts, management interprets tax legislation in a variety of jurisdictions and make estimates of the expected timing of the reversal of deferred tax assets and liabilities. Management also makes estimates of future earnings which affect the extent to which potential future tax benefits may be used. The Company is subject to assessments by various taxation authorities, which may interpret legislation differently. These differences may affect the final amount or the timing of the payment of taxes. Management provides for such differences where known based on its best estimate of the probable outcome of these matters.
(ii) Critical accounting judgments
Assessment of transactions as asset acquisitions or business combinations
Management has had to apply judgment relating to the reverse takeover transaction between 113BC and the Company with respect to whether the acquisition was a business combination or an asset acquisition. Management applied a three-element process to determine whether a business or an asset was purchased, considering inputs, processes and outputs of each acquisition in order to reach a conclusion.
Going Concern
Presentation of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements as a going concern assumes that the Company will continue in operation for the foreseeable future, obtain additional financing as required, and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of operations as they come due.
Functional Currency
In concluding that the Canadian dollar is the functional currency of the parent and its subsidiary company, management considered the currency that mainly influences the cost of providing goods and services in each jurisdiction in which the Company operates. As no single currency was clearly dominant the Company also considered secondary indicators including the currency in which funds from financing activities are denominated and the currency in which funds are retained.
Impairment of exploration and evaluation assets
Management is required to assess impairment in respect to the Company’s intangible mineral property interests. The triggering events are defined in IFRS 6. In making the assessment, management is required to make judgments on the status of each project and the future plans towards finding commercial reserves.
f) Accounting standards and interpretations issued but not yet adopted
The Company has reviewed new and revised accounting pronouncements that have been issued but are not yet effective. The Company has not early adopted any of these standards and is currently evaluating the impact, if any, that these standards might have on its financial statements. Other accounting standards or amendments to existing accounting standards that have been issued but have future effective dates are either not applicable or are not expected to have a significant impact on the Company's financial statements.

(Expressed in Canadian dollars, unless otherwise noted - Unaudited)
3. REVERSE TAKEOVER TRANSACTION
Pursuant to the RTO transaction, on April 16, 2020, the Company issued 33,740,000 shares in exchange for all the issued and outstanding shares of 113BC, whereby 113BC and its subsidiaries Lower 48 BC and Lower 48 became wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company. For accounting purposes, the acquisition was considered a reverse takeover whereby the Company was deemed to be the acquiree and 113BC the acquirer. The Company did not meet the definition of a business, therefore the acquisition is outside of the scope of IFRS 3 Business Combinations , instead, the RTO was accounted for under IFRS 2 Share‐based Payments . Accordingly, no goodwill or intangible assets were recorded with respect to the RTO transaction.
Under this basis of accounting, the consolidated entity is considered to be a continuation of the Company, with the net identifiable assets of the Company deemed to have been acquired by 113BC at fair value as at April 16, 2020.
For purposes of the RTO, the consideration paid and the fair value of the net assets (liabilities) of the Company at April 16, 2020 is as follows:
| Net assets(liabilities)of the Companyacquired(assumed) | April 16,2020 |

(1) The fair value of common shares of the Company issued as consideration was determined based on the fair value of the 14,257,770 common shares outstanding prior to the RTO Transaction of $0.42 per common share.

11. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company thoroughly examines the various financial instrument risks to which it is exposed and assesses the impact and likelihood of those risks. These risks may include interest rate risk, credit risk, liquidity risk, and currency risk. The carrying value of the Company's financial instruments approximates their fair value due to their short-term nature. Fair value measurements of financial instruments are required to be classified using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of inputs in making the measurements. The levels of the fair value hierarchy are defined as follows:
Level 1 – Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3 – Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.
The fair values of other financial instruments, which include cash and accounts payable, approximate their carrying values due to the relatively short-term maturity of these instruments.
Interest rate risk: Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates. The Company has no debt or interest-bearing assets and therefore has minimal interest rate risk.

11. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (Continued)
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 Company's credit risk is primarily attributable to its liquid financial assets including cash, which is held with a high-credit financial institution and amounts receivable from the Government of Canada. As such, the Company’s credit exposure is minimal.
Liquidity risk: Liquidity risk arises from the excess of financial obligations over available financial assets due at any point in time. The Company's objective in managing liquidity risk is to maintain sufficient readily available reserves in order to meet its liquidity requirements. The Company addresses its liquidity through equity financing obtained through the sale of common shares. While the Company has been successful in securing financings in the past, there is no assurance that it will be able to do so in the future.
Currency risk: Currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange. At May 31, 2021, the Company has US dollar denominated assets of $147,254 and US dollar denominated liabilities of $2,197. Based on this net US dollar exposure, at May 31, 2021, a 10% change in the Canadian dollar to the US dollar exchange rate would impact the Company’s gain or loss by $14,056.
The carrying values of the Company's financial assets and liabilities at May 31, 2021 and November 30, 2020, approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature.
12. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
The Company's objectives when managing capital are to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern in order to pursue its operations and to maintain a flexible capital structure, which optimizes the costs of capital at an acceptable risk. The Company considers its capital for this purpose to be its shareholders' equity. The Company's primary source of capital is through the issuance of equity. The Company manages and adjusts its capital structure when changes in economic conditions occur. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may seek additional funding. The Company may require additional capital resources to meet its administrative overhead expenses in the long term. The Company believes it will be able to raise capital as required in the long term but recognizes there will be risks involved that may be beyond its control. There are no external restrictions on the management of capital.
13. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On June 4, 2021, the Company cancelled 1,790,000 stock options with exercise prices ranging from $0.485 to $0.60 for those consultants who were no longer providing services to the Company.
