G Mining Ventures Corp.
Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements For the Three and Twelve Months Ended October 31, 2021 (Unaudited – Expressed in Canadian Dollars)
1 NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND CONTINUANCE OF OPERATIONS
G Mining Ventures Corp. (the “Corporation”) is an exploration stage company incorporated on November 23, 2017, under the laws of the province of British Columbia, Canada. Its principal business activity is the acquisition, exploration, evaluation and development of mineral properties. The Corporation’s principal place of business is at 7900, W. Taschereau Blvd., Building D, Suite 210, Brossard, Québec, Canada, J4X 1C2. The Corporation’s registered and records office is at 595 Burrard Street, Suite 2600, Three Bentall Center, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, V7X 1L3.
On December 17, 2020, a Certificate of Continuance was issued to the Corporation under section 187 of the Canada Business Corporations Act (CBCA). The Corporation name changed from Kanadario Gold Inc. The Corporation’s common shares are traded on the TSX Venture Exchange (“ TSX-V ”) under the symbol “GMIN”.
Uncertainty due to COVID-19
In early March 2020, there was a global outbreak of coronavirus (COVID-19). The duration and full financial effect of the COVID-19 pandemic is unknown at this time as are the measures taken by governments, companies and others to attempt to reduce the spread of COVID-19. Any estimate of the length and severity of these developments is therefore subject to significant uncertainty and, accordingly, estimates of the extent to which the COVID-19 may materially and adversely affect the Corporation’s operations, financial results and condition in future periods are also subject to significant uncertainty.
2 BASIS OF PREPARATION
Statement of compliance
The condensed interim consolidated financial statements of the Corporation 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 .
The condensed interim consolidated financial statements of the Corporation should be read in conjunction with the Corporation’s October 31, 2020 audited financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS, as issued by IASB.
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements were approved and authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on December 20, 2021.
Basis of measurement
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost basis, except for certain financial instruments, which are measured at fair value, as explained in the significant accounting policies (see Note 4 of the audited financial statements for the year ended October 31, 2020). These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the accrual basis of accounting, except for cash flow information.

2 BASIS OF PREPARATION (continued)
Change in year-end
Effective in 2021, the Corporation has changed its financial year-end from October 31 to December 31 in order to align the year-ends of the Corporation and its subsidiary located in Brazil which operates on a calendar fiscal year-end. Accordingly, these condensed interim consolidated financial statements present the statements of financial position as at October 31, 2021 and 2020, and the results of operations for the three and twelve months then ended. The year-end reports will present the statements of financial position as at December 31, 2021 and October 31, 2020, and the results of operations for the fourteen months ended December 31, 2021 and the twelve months ended October 31, 2020.
3 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared, for all periods presented, following the same accounting policies and methods of computation as described in Note 4 to the audited financial statements for the year ended October 31, 2020, except for the following new accounting policies and standards which were adopted since that date:
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand, bank balances and units in a liquid fund cashable at any time without penalties.
Consolidation
The Corporation’s financial statements consolidate the accounts of Brazauro Recursos Minerais S.A. (" BRM "). All intercompany transactions, balances and unrealized gains or losses from intercompany transactions are eliminated on consolidation. BRM is an entity over which the Corporation has the ability to exercise control. The Corporation controls an entity when the group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. BRM is fully consolidated from the date on which control was transferred to the Company and would be de-consolidated from the date that control ceases. Accounting policies of BRM are consistent with the policies adopted by the Corporation. The geographic location of BRM at October 31, 2021 is Para state, Brazil.
Foreign currency translation
(i) Functional and presentation currency
Items included in the financial statements of each consolidated entity of the Corporation are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the “functional currency”). The condensed interim consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, which is the functional currency of the parent company.
Assets and liabilities of the subsidiaries which have a Brazilian Real functional currency are translated into Canadian dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the consolidated balance sheet date and revenues, expenses and cash flows are translated at the average exchange rate over the reporting

Foreign currency translation (continued)
(i) Functional and presentation currency (continued)
period. Gains and losses from these translations are recognized as currency translation adjustment in other comprehensive income or loss.
(ii) Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions, including revenues and expenses, are translated into the functional currency at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of each transaction or valuation when items are re-measured. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the operation’s functional currency are translated into the functional currency at exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of those transactions and from period-end translations are recognized in the consolidated statement of loss.
Non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at historical rates, unless such assets and liabilities are carried at fair value, in which case, they are translated at the exchange rate in effect at the date of the fair value measurement .
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition of an asset, including the purchase price and/or development/construction costs. Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefit associated with the item will flow to the Corporation and the cost can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of a replaced asset is derecognized when replaced.
Depreciation is calculated to amortize the cost of the property and equipment less their residual values over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method and following periods by major categories:
| Furniture and office equipment | 4-5 years |
|---|---|
| Vehicles | 5 years |
| Buildings, facilities, and equipment | 10 years |
| Right-of-use assets | Lesser of useful life and lease term |
Residual values, method of depreciation and useful lives of the assets are reviewed annually and adjusted if appropriate.
Gains and losses on disposals of property and equipment are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount of the asset and are included as part of other losses (gains) in the consolidated statement of loss.

Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements For the Three and Twelve Months Ended October 31, 2021 (Unaudited – Expressed in Canadian Dollars)
3 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Leases
The Corporation is committed to long-term lease agreement for equipment accounted in property and equipment. Leases are recognized as a right-of-use asset (presented under property and equipment on the consolidated statement of financial position) and a corresponding liability at the date at which the leased asset is available for use by the Corporation. Each lease payment is allocated between the liability and finance cost. The finance cost is charged to profit or loss over the lease term so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period. The right-ofuse asset is depreciated over the shorter of the asset's useful life and the lease term on a straight-line basis. Assets and liabilities arising from a lease are initially measured on a present value basis. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease. If that rate cannot be readily determined, the Corporation’s incremental borrowing rate is used, being the rate that the Corporation would have to pay to borrow the funds necessary to obtain an asset of similar value in a similar economic environment with similar terms and conditions. Payments associated with short-term leases (12 months or less) and leases of low-value assets are recognized on a straight-line basis as an expense in profit or loss.
4 CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGMENTS
The Corporation makes estimates and assumptions about the future that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities. Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated, based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. In the future, actual experience may differ from these estimates and assumptions.
The effect of a change in an accounting estimate is recognized prospectively by including it in comprehensive income (loss) in the period of the change, if the change affects that period only, or in the period of the change and future years, if the change affects both.
The significant judgments made by management in applying the accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that were applied to the audited financial statements for the year ended October 31, 2020.
5 ACQUISITION OF BRAZAURO RECURSOS MINERAIS S.A.
On October 27, 2021 (the " Closing Date "), the Corporation acquired all the issued and outstanding shares of BRM from Eldorado Gold Corporation (" Eldorado ") (the " Acquisition "). BRM is a Brazilian exploration and development company holding the property, assets, and rights related to the Tocantinzinho Gold Project (the " Project "), located in northern Brazil.
On the Closing Date, an amount of US$20 million ($24.7 million) was paid in cash by the Corporation and $40.8 million was paid through the issuance of 46 926 372 common shares of the Corporation to Eldorado. Additionally, a deferred cash payment of US$60 million (corresponding to $74.8 million as at October 31, 2021) (the " Deferred Consideration ") will be payable, at the Corporation's option, anytime from the Closing Date until the first anniversary of the Project achieving commercial production. The Corporation, at its option, may defer 50% of the Deferred Consideration for 12 months subject to a US$5

million ($6.2 million) premium payable on the second anniversary of the Project achieving commercial production (such deferred payment then totaling US$35 million ($43.6 million)). Transactions costs amounted at $1.8 million.
The Acquisition has been recorded as an acquisition of assets since the acquired assets and assumed liabilities do not constitute a business under IFRS3 Business Combinations .
The total purchase price of $67.4 million was allocated to the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed based on the relative fair value at the Closing date. All financial assets acquired, and financial liabilities assumed were recorded at fair value.
The purchase price was calculated as follow:
| Consideration paid | ||
|---|---|---|
| Issuance of 46 926 372 common shares | $ | 40,825,944 |
| Cash consideration | 24,716,000 | |
| Corporation's acquisition costs | 1,816,706 | |
| $ | 67,358,650 | |
| Net asset acquired | ||
| Cash | $ | 420,830 |
| Other current assets | 78,956 | |
| Other assets | 1,285,597 | |
| Property and Equipment | 923,885 | |
| Exploration and evaluation asset | 65,172,765 | |
| Accounts payable and accrued liabilities | (409,678) | |
| Lease liability (short and long term) | (113,705) | |
| $ | 67,358,650 |
The Deferred Consideration is considered contingent consideration for the acquisition of non-current assets and will be recorded as an additional consideration paid if and when the contingency is resolved, namely that the Project achieves commercial production.
6 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS – FAIR VALUE
Financial instruments are agreements between two parties that result in promises to pay or receive cash or equity instruments. The Corporation classifies its financial instruments as follows: cash equivalents are classified as fair value through profit or loss; cash, receivables, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities, as amortized cost. The carrying values of these instruments approximate their fair values due to their short-term maturity.
The Corporation’s only financial instruments measured at fair value are the cash equivalents amounting to $40,791,305 as at October 31, 2021 which are classified in Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy.

During the twelve months ended October 31, 2021, the Corporation entered into a Master Services and Cooperation Agreement (the “MSA”) with G Mining Services Inc. (“GMS”), a related party with one common officer and two common directors, to formalize the business relationship pursuant to which the Corporation will access a wide range of services to be provided by GMS on an as-needed basis and on arm’s length terms. The MSA is intended to assist the Corporation to evaluate, develop, construct, commission and eventually operate one or several mining projects it plans to acquire. The MSA also provides for proper governance with respect to related party transactions.
In connection with the MSA, the Corporation entered into a contract for basic services with GMS (mainly support to due diligence activities, exploration work and various technical assessments and reviews). In addition, the Corporation entered into, an Engineering and Project Development Services Contract for the Project (the “ TZ Contract ”).

These units have the same characteristics as the ones described above. The fair value of the warrants was evaluated using the residual method and no value was attributed to the warrants.
On September 15, 2021, the Corporation completed a “bought deal” private placement (the “ Offering ”) of units (the “ Units ”) with a syndicate of underwriters. Pursuant to the Offering, the Corporation issued an aggregate of 74,224,042 Units at a price of $0.95 per Unit for aggregate gross proceeds of $70,512,840, including the exercise by the underwriters of the over-allotment option to purchase an additional 524,042 Units at $0.95 per Unit.
Each Unit consists of one (1) common share in the capital of the Corporation (each a “ Common Share ”) and one half of one (1/2) Common Share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a “ Warrant ”). Each Warrant entitles its holder to acquire one Common Share at any time until September 15, 2024, at an exercise price of $1.90. The fair value of the warrants was evaluated using the residual method and no value was attributed to the warrants.
During the twelve months ended October 31, 2021, the Corporation incurred unit issue costs of $6,671,488 for these three private placements which $679,725 has been paid through issuance of 715,500 Units to one of the underwriters.
During the twelve months ended October 31, 2021, the Corporation received in cash $733,750 from the exercise of 4,010,000 common share purchase warrants and $60,000 from the exercise of 400,000 stock options. The market value of the Corporation’s common share was $1.25 at the time of the exercise of the stock options.
