G2 GOLDFIELDS INC.
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED MAY 31, 2022 (EXPRESSED IN CANADIAN DOLLARS)
Independent Auditor's Report
==> picture [103 x 34] intentionally omitted <==
To the Shareholders of G2 Goldfields Inc.:
Opinion
We have audited the consolidated financial statements of G2 Goldfields Inc. and its subsidiaries (the "Company"), which comprise the consolidated statements of financial position as at May 31, 2022 and May 31, 2021, and the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as at May 31, 2022 and May 31, 2021, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audits in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audits of the consolidated financial statements in Canada, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Other Information
Management is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises Management’s Discussion and Analysis.
Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audits of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audits or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. We obtained Management’s Discussion and Analysis prior to the date of this auditor’s report. If, based on the work we have performed on this other information, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Consolidated Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.
Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
-
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
-
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
-
Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audits and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audits.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
The engagement partner on the audit resulting in this independent auditor's report is Brock Stroud.

G2 Goldfields Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Year Ended May 31, 2022 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars)
1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS
G2 Goldfields Inc. ("G2" or the "Company") was incorporated as 7177411 Canada Corporation on May 21, 2009, under the laws of Canada. The Company is primarily engaged in the business of acquiring and exploring mineral properties. The common shares of the Company trade on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol “GTWO”.
The head office, principal address, and records office of the Company are located at 141 Adelaide Street West, Suite 1101, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, M5H 3L5.
The COVID-19 outbreak has been declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization. The situation is dynamic and the ultimate duration and magnitude of the impact on the economy, capital markets and the Company’s financial position cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. The Company is monitoring developments and will adapt its business plans accordingly. The actual and threatened spread of COVID-19 globally could adversely impact the Company’s ability to carry out its plans and raise capital. Exploration activities in Guyana remain to be operational as the Company has setup an isolated camp to continue its drill program.
The Company’s consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on September 23, 2022.
2. BASIS OF PREPARATION
(a) Statement of Compliance
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standards 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”).
(b) Basis of Consolidation
These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries Bartica Investments Ltd. (Bartica) and Ontario Inc (Ontario). The statements of the subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statement from the date control commences until the date control ceases. The Company’s subsidiaries are wholly owned and all inter-company transactions, balances, including income and expenses arising from inter-company transactions are eliminated in preparing these consolidated financial statements.
(c) Basis of Measurement
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis except for financial instruments classified at fair value through profit or loss ("FVTPL") which are stated at fair values. The accounting policies have been applied consistently throughout all years presented in these financial statements.
(d) Functional and Presentation Currency
The consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, which is the functional currency of the Company. The functional currency of Bartica is United States dollars and the functional currency of Ontario is Guyanese dollars.

G2 Goldfields Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Year Ended May 31, 2022 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars)
2. BASIS OF PREPARATION (CONTINUED)
(e) Use of Estimates and Judgment
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Areas requiring significant estimates and judgments by management include, but are not limited to:
-
Share-based compensation – management is required to make a number of estimates when determining the compensation expense resulting from share-based transactions, including the forfeiture rate and expected life of the instruments.
-
Income taxes – measurement of income taxes payable and deferred income tax assets and liabilities requires management to make judgments in the interpretation and application of the relevant tax laws. The actual amount of income taxes only become final upon filing and acceptance of the tax return by the relevant authorities, which occurs subsequent to the issuance of the financial statements.
-
Mining interests - the Company capitalizes the exploration and evaluation expenditures in the statement of financial position. Where an indicator of impairment exists, management will perform an impairment test and if the recoverable amount is less than the carrying value, record an impairment charge.
-
Inter-company loans - the Company applies judgment when assessing whether loans to its subsidiaries are part of its net investment in foreign operations or long-term loans expected to be repaid in future periods.
-
Distribution of non-cash assets - management uses estimates to assess the fair value of distributions of non-cash assets to shareholders of the Company.
3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Overall considerations
The significant accounting policies that have been applied in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are summarized below. These accounting policies have been used throughout all periods presented in the consolidated financial statements.
Areas of judgment that have the most significant effect on amounts recognized in the financial statements are disclosed above.
(a) Cash
Cash comprises of cash on hand.
(b) Fixed Assets
On the initial recognition, fixed assets are valued at cost, being the purchase price and directly attributable costs of acquisition. Fixed assets are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation, less any accumulated impairment losses. Gains and losses on disposal of an item are determined by comparing the proceeds from disposal with the carrying cost amount and are recognized on the statement of loss and comprehensive loss.
Depreciation is recognized in the statement of loss and comprehensive loss over their estimated useful lives. Machinery and equipment and furniture and equipment is depreciated at a 15% declining balance rate. Motor vehicles is depreciated at a 20% declining balance rate.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
(c) Exploration and Evaluation Assets
Exploration and evaluation assets include mining interests
Exploration and evaluation costs, including the cost of acquiring licenses, are capitalized as exploration and evaluation assets on a project-by-project basis pending determination of the technical feasibility and the commercial viability of the project. The capitalized costs are presented as either tangible or intangible exploration and evaluation assets according to the nature of the assets acquired. Capitalized costs include costs directly related to exploration and evaluation activities in the area of interest. General and administrative costs are only allocated to the asset to the extent that those costs can be directly related to operational activities in the relevant area of interest. When a license is relinquished or a project is abandoned, the related costs are recognized in net loss immediately.
Exploration and evaluation assets are assessed for impairment if (i) sufficient data exists to determine technical feasibility and commercial viability, and (ii) fact and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount (see Impairment).
The technical feasibility and commercial viability of extracting a mineral resource is considered to be determinable when proven reserves are determined to exist, the rights of tenure are current and it is considered probable that the costs will be recouped through successful development and exploitation of the area, or alternatively by sale of the property. Upon determination of proven reserves, intangible exploration and evaluation assets attributable to those reserves are first tested for impairment and then reclassified from exploration and evaluation assets to a separate category within tangible assets. Expenditures deemed to be unsuccessful are recognized in net loss immediately. The Company capitalizes all costs to defend title of its mining interests.
Pre-exploration and evaluation expenditures
Exploration and evaluation costs incurred prior to acquiring the right to explore mining interests are expensed as exploration and evaluation assets on a project-by-project basis. If the costs incurred cannot be directly attributed to a project that is going to be pursued beyond the pre- exploration and evaluation stage, they are expensed.
Title
Ownership in mineral properties involves certain risks due to the difficulties in determining the validity of certain claims as well as the potential for problems arising from the frequently ambiguous conveyancing history characteristic of many mineral interests.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
(d) Income Taxes
Income tax on the profit or loss for the period presented comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax is recognized in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognized directly in equity, in which case it is recognized in equity.
Current tax expense is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the period, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at period end, adjusted for amendments to tax payable with regards to previous years.
Deferred tax is recorded for temporary differences, between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred income taxes are recorded to recognize tax benefits only to the extent, based on available evidence, that it is probable that they will be realized. The following temporary differences are not provided for: goodwill not deductible for tax purposes; and the initial recognition of assets or liabilities that affect neither accounting nor taxable loss.
The amount of deferred tax provided is based on the expected manner of realization or settlement of the carrying amount of assets and liabilities, using tax rates expected to be applied to temporary differences which may reverse, based on tax laws, enacted or substantively enacted at the statement of financial position date.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the Company intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.
(e) Share-based Payments
Equity-settled share-based payments to employees and others providing similar services are measured at the fair value of the equity instruments at the grant date. Details regarding the determination of the fair value of equity-settled share-based transactions are set out in the share- based payments note (see note 12).
For options to employees that do not immediately vest, the fair value is measured at the grant date and each tranche is recognized on a graded-vesting basis over the period in which the options vest. At the end of each reporting period, the Company revises its estimate of the number of equity instruments expected to vest. The impact of the revision of the original estimates, if any, is recognized in the statement of loss and comprehensive loss such that the cumulative expense reflects the revised estimate, with a corresponding adjustment to reserve for share-based payments.
Equity-settled share-based payment transactions with parties other than employees are measured at the fair value of the goods or services received, except where that fair value cannot be estimated reliably, in which case they are measured at the fair value of the equity instruments granted, measured at the date the entity obtains the goods or the counter party renders the service.
(f) Basic and Diluted Earnings (Loss) per Share
Basic earnings (loss) per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares of the Company outstanding during the period. The diluted earnings (loss) per share reflects the potential dilution of common share equivalents, such as outstanding share options, restricted share unit’s and warrants, in the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, if dilutive.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
(g) Share Issuance Costs
Professional, consulting, regulatory fees and other costs that are directly attributable to the issuance of shares are charged to capital stock when the related shares are issued. Transaction costs of abandoned equity transactions are recognized in the statement of loss and comprehensive loss.
(h) Warrants
Proceeds from unit placements are allocated between shares and warrants issued by calculating the value of the warrants using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and allocating on a relative fair value basis. The value of the share component is credited to share capital and the value of the warrant component is credited to reserve for warrants account. Upon exercise of the warrants, consideration paid by the warrant holder together with the amount previously recognized in the reserve for warrants account is recorded as an increase to capital stock. For those warrants that expired unexercised, the recorded value is transferred to Contributed Surplus.
(i) Provisions
Provisions are recognized when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) that has arisen as a result of a past event and it is probable that a future outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, provided that a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
Provisions are measured at the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation using a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risk specific to the obligation. The increase in the provision due to passage of time is recognized as interest expense.
(j) Financial Instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument.
Below is a summary showing the classification and measurement bases of the Company’s financial instruments.
| Classification | IFRS 9 |
|---|---|
| Cash | FVTPL |
| Short-term investments | FVTPL |
| Due from related parties | Amortized Cost |
| Accounts payable and other liabilities | Amortized Cost |
| Due to relatedparties | Amortized Cost |
Financial assets
Financial assets are classified as either financial assets at FVTPL, amortized cost, or FVTOCI. The Company determines the classification of its financial assets at initial recognition.
Financial assets recorded at FVTPL
Financial assets are classified as FVTPL if they do not meet the criteria of amortized cost or FVTOCI. Gains or losses on these items are recognized in profit or loss.

(j) Financial Instruments (continued)
Investments recorded at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI)
On initial recognition of an equity investment that is not held for trading, the Company may irrevocably elect to measure the investment at FVOCI whereby changes in the investment’s fair value (realized and unrealized) will be recognized permanently in OCI with no reclassification to profit or loss. The election is made on an investment-by-investment basis.
Amortized cost
Financial assets are classified as measured at amortized cost if both of the following criteria are met and the financial assets are not designated as at FVTPL: 1) the object of the Company’s business model for these financial assets is to collect their contractual cash flows, and 2) the asset’s contractual cash flows represent "solely payments of principal and interest".
Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are classified as either financial liabilities at FVTPL or at amortized cost. The Company determines the classification of its financial liabilities at initial recognition.
Amortized cost
Financial liabilities are classified as measured at amortized cost unless they fall into one of the following categories: financial liabilities at FVTPL, financial liabilities that arise when a transfer of a financial asset does not qualify for derecognition, financial guarantee contracts, commitments to provide a loan at a below-market interest rate, or contingent consideration recognized by an acquirer in a business combination.
Financial liabilities recorded FVTPL
Financial liabilities are classified as FVTPL if they fall into one of the five exemptions detailed above.
Transaction costs
Transaction costs associated with financial instruments, carried at FVTPL, are expensed as incurred, while transaction costs associated with all other financial instruments are included in the initial carrying amount of the asset or the liability.
Subsequent measurement
Instruments classified as FVTPL are measured at fair value with unrealized gains and losses recognized in profit or loss. Instruments classified as amortized cost are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. Instruments classified as FVTOCI are measured at fair value with unrealized gains and losses recognized in other comprehensive income.
Derecognition
The Company derecognizes financial liabilities only when its obligations under the financial liabilities are discharged, cancelled, or expired. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognized and the consideration paid and payable, including any non- cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognized in profit or loss.

(j) Financial Instruments (continued)
Financial instruments at fair value through profit and loss
Financial instruments recorded at fair value on the statements of financial position are classified using 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 - valuation based on quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
-
Level 2 - valuation techniques based on 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 - valuation techniques using inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
As at May 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company did not hold financial instruments recorded at fair value that would require classification within the fair value hierarchy, except for cash (Level 1) and short-term investments (Level 1). The carrying value of the financial instruments noted above approximate their fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.
(k) Impairment
The carrying amounts of the Company’s non-financial assets, other than deferred tax assets, are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated.
For the purpose of impairment testing, assets are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or groups of assets (the “cash-generating unit”).
An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of a cash-generating unit exceeds its estimated recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of an asset or a cash-generating unit is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs of disposal. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessment of the time value of money and the risks specific to the assets. Impairment losses are recognized in net loss.
Impairment losses recognized in prior years are assessed at each reporting date for any indications that the loss has decreased or no longer exists. An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, if no impairment loss had been recognized.

(l) Business Combinations
Business combinations are accounted for under the acquisition method. The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary is the fair value of the assets transferred, the liabilities incurred and the equity interests issued by the Company, if any, at the date control is obtained. The consideration transferred includes the fair value of any liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement. Acquisition-related costs, other than share and debt issue costs incurred to issue financial instruments that form part of the consideration transferred, are expensed as incurred. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair value at the acquisition date. If a business combination is achieved in stages, the Company remeasures its previously held interest in the acquiree at its acquisition-date fair value and recognizes the resulting gain or loss, if any, in net income. Contingent consideration is classified as a provision and is measured at fair value, with subsequent changes recognized in income. If the contingent consideration is classified as equity, it is not remeasured until it is finally settled within equity. New information obtained during the measurement period, up to 12 months following the acquisition date, about facts and circumstances existing at the acquisition date affect the acquisition accounting.
(m) Royalties
The Company earns royalties from small scale miners in Guyana. Small scale miners extract gold from the Company’s exploration interests and pay a royalty to the Company, which is in the form of physical gold. The Company will then deposit the royalty with the Guyana Gold Board. Royalties earned by the Company are also subject to a net smelter return (“NSR”), payable to the original property owners. Revenue received by the Guyana Gold Board is recognized net of the NSR, once the Company has deposited the royalty with the Guyana Gold Board and there is a reasonable expectation of collection.
Under IFRS 15, revenue is recognized at an amount that reflects the expected consideration receivable in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer, applying the following five steps:
-
Identify the contract with a customer
-
Identify the performance obligations in the contract
-
Determine the transaction price
-
Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract
-
Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation
-

(n) Foreign currency translation
Transactions in foreign currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing on the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the period end exchange rate with the resulting gains and losses being recognized in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated.
The financial statements of foreign subsidiaries for which the functional currency is not the Canadian dollar are translated into Canadian dollars using the exchange rate in effect at the end of the reporting period for assets and liabilities and the average exchange rates for the period for revenue, expenses and cash flows. Foreign exchange differences arising on translation are recognized in other comprehensive income (loss) and in the cumulative transaction adjustment in shareholders’ equity.
(o) Accounting standards issued but not yet effective
The standards and interpretations that are issued, but not yet effective, up to the date of issuance of the Company’s Financial Statements that the Company reasonably expects will have an impact on its disclosures, financial position or performance when applied at a future date, are disclosed below. The Company intends to adopt these standards, if applicable, when they become effective.
Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-Current (Amendments to IAS 1)
The IASB has published Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-Current (Amendments to IAS 1) which clarifies the guidance on whether a liability should be classified as either current or non-current. The amendments:
-
clarify that the classification of liabilities as current or non-current should only be based on rights that are in place "at the end of the reporting period"
-
clarify that classification is unaffected by expectations about whether an entity will exercise its right to defer settlement of a liability; and
-
make clear that settlement includes transfers to the counterparty of cash, equity instruments, other assets or services that result in extinguishments of the liability.
This amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023. There is currently a proposal in place to extend effective date for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2024. Earlier application is permitted. The extent of the impact of adoption of this amendment has not yet been determined.
Definition of Accounting Estimates – Amendments to IAS 8
In February 2021, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 8, in which it introduced a definition of ‘accounting estimates’. The amendments clarify the distinction between changes in accounting estimates and changes in accounting policies and the correction of errors. Also, they clarify how entities use measurement techniques and inputs to develop accounting estimates. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023, and apply to changes in accounting policies and accounting estimates that occur on or after the start of that period. Earlier application is permitted as long as this fact is disclosed.
The amendments are not expected to have a material impact on the Company.

(o) Accounting standards issued but not yet effective (continued)
Disclosure of Accounting Policies - Amendments to IAS 1 and IFRS Practice Statement 2
In February 2021, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 1 and IFRS Practice Statement 2 Making Materiality Judgements, in which it provides guidance and examples to help entities apply materiality judgements to accounting policy disclosures. The amendments aim to help entities provide accounting policy disclosures that are more useful by replacing the requirement for entities to disclose their ‘significant’ accounting policies with a requirement to disclose their ‘material’ accounting policies and adding guidance on how entities apply the concept of materiality in making decisions about accounting policy disclosures. The amendments to IAS 1 are applicable for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023, with earlier application permitted. Since the amendments to the Practice Statement 2 provide non-mandatory guidance on the application of the definition of material to accounting policy information, an effective date for these amendments is not necessary. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the amendments to determine the impact they will have on the Company’s accounting policy disclosures.
Amendments to IAS 12 Income taxes
Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single Transaction clarifies the accounting for deferred tax on transactions such as leases and decommissioning obligations by removing the initial recognition exemption for transactions in which equal amounts of deductible and taxable temporary differences arise on initial recognition. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023.
(p) Leases
All leases are accounted for by recognizing a right-of-use asset and a lease liability except for:
-
Leases of low value assets; and
-
Leases with a duration of twelve months or less.
Lease liabilities are measured at the present value of the contractual payments due to the lessor over the lease term, with the discount rate determined by the incremental borrowing rate on commencement of the lease is used. Variable lease payments are only included in the measurement of the lease liability if they depend on an index or rate. In such cases, the initial measurement of the lease liability assumes the variable element will remain unchanged throughout the lease term. Other variable lease payments are expensed in the period to which they relate.
On initial recognition, the carrying value of the lease liability also includes:
-
Amounts expected to be payable under any residual value guarantee;
-
The exercise price of any purchase option granted if it is reasonable certain to assess that option;
-
Any penalties payable for terminating the lease, if the term of the lease has been estimated on the basis of termination option being exercised.
Right-of-use assets are initially measured at the amount of the lease liability, reduced for any lease incentives received, and increased for:
-
Lease payments made at or before commencement of the lease;
-
Initial direct costs incurred; and
-
The amount of any provision recognised where the Company is contractually required to dismantle, remove or restore the leased asset.
-

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
(p) Leases (continued)
Lease liabilities, on initial measurement, increase as a result of interest charged at a constant rate on the balance outstanding and are reduced for lease payments made.
Right-of-use assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over the remaining term of the lease or over the remaining economic life of the asset if this is judged to be shorter than the lease term.
When the Company revises its estimate of the term of any lease, it adjusts the carrying amount of the lease liability to reflect the payments to make over the revised term, which are discounted at the same discount rate that applied on lease commencement. The carrying value of lease liabilities is similarly revised when the variable element of future lease payments dependent on a rate or index is revised. In both cases an equivalent adjustment is made to the carrying value of the right-of-use asset, with the revised carrying amount being amortized over the remaining (revised) lease term.
4. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES
The Company manages its exposure to a number of different financial risks arising from operations as well as from the use of financial instruments, including market risks (foreign currency exchange rate and interest rate), credit risk and liquidity risk, through its risk management strategy. The objective of the strategy is to support the delivery of the Company's financial targets while protecting its future financial security and flexibility. Financial risks are primarily managed and monitored through operating and financing activities. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments. The financial risks are evaluated regularly with due consideration to changes in key economic indicators and to up-to-date market information. The Company’s risk exposures and the impact on the Company’s financial instruments are summarized below:
(a) Credit Risk
Credit risk is the financial risk of non-performance of a contracted counter party. The Company's credit risk is primarily attributable to cash, short-term investments and due from related parties. The Company reduces its credit risk by maintaining its cash with reputable financial institutions. The credit risk on related parties is nominal.
(b) Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its obligations associated with financial liabilities as they come due. The Company’s investment policy is to invest its excess cash in high grade investment securities with varying terms to maturity, selected with regard to the expected timing of expenditures for continuing operations. The Company monitors its liquidity position and budgets future expenditures, in order to ensure that it will have sufficient capital to satisfy liabilities as they come due.
As at May 31, 2022, the Company had current liabilities of $967,549 (May 31, 2021 - $1,024,538) and has cash of $1,252,612 (May 31, 2021 - $2,037,445) to meet its current obligations. The Company regularly evaluates its cash position to ensure preservation and security of capital as well as maintenance of liquidity.

4. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES (CONTINUED)
(c) Price Risk
Price risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices (other than those arising from interest rate or currency risk). The short-term investment held by the Company are subject to normal fluctuations and the risks inherent in investment in financial markets. The maximum risk resulting from financial instruments held by the Company are equivalent to the fair value of the financial instruments. Management moderates this risk by employing experienced management who oversee the investment activities of the Company and monitor the investments on a regular basis.
As at May 31, 2021, the impact of a plus or minus 10% change in the quoted market price of short-term investments held, with all other variables held constant, would affect reported loss and comprehensive loss by approximately $1,900 (May 31, 2021 - $2,200).
(d) Market Risk
Foreign Currency Risk
The Company’s functional currency is the Canadian dollar. The Company has a subsidiary that has a functional currency in Guyanese dollars. Sensitivity to a plus or minus 5% change in the foreign exchange rate of the Guyanese dollar compared to the Canadian dollar would affect the Company’s equity by $792,000 (2021 – $558,506) with all other variables held constant.
Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates. The Company has no significant risk to future cash flows from interest rate risk. The Company does not use derivative instruments to reduce its exposure to interest rate risk.
5. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
The Company considers its capital to consist of its shareholders’ equity balance, which as at May 31, 2022, totaled $16,929,063 (May 31, 2021 - $12,897,752).
The Company's objective when managing capital is to maintain adequate levels of funding to support its exploration activities and to maintain corporate and administrative functions necessary to support operational activities.
The Company manages its capital structure in a manner that provides sufficient funding for operational activities. Funds are primarily secured through equity capital raised by way of private placements. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to continue raising equity capital in the future.
The Company invests all capital that is surplus to its immediate operational needs in short-term, liquid and highly rated financial instruments, such as cash and other short-term guaranteed deposits, and all are held in major financial institutions.
There were no changes to the Company's approach to capital risk management during the year ended May 31, 2022 and the Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.

6. SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS
Short-term investments consist of marketable securities and Canadian Guaranteed Investments (“GICs”) which have been designate as FVTPL. As at each period end, short-term investments are recorded at fair value, with changes recognized in the statement of loss and comprehensive loss. The fair value of marketable securities are determined using the last bid price and the fair value of GICs are determined by reference to the risk-free market rate of interest at period end. Short-term investments are composed of the following:
| Number of | Fair Market | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| May 31, 2022 | securities | Cost | Value | ||
| Big River Gold Ltd. | 62,500 | $ | 211,604 | $ | 19,063 |

| 62,500 | $ | 261,604 | $ | 72,000 |
During the year ended May 31, 2022, a (loss) gain on marketable securities totaling ($2,937) (May 31, 2021 - $17,000) was recognized in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss.

(a) Sandy Lake Project, Ontario, Canada
On November 20, 2020, the Company incorporated S2 Minerals Inc. (“S2”), a wholly owned subsidiary of G2 at the time, issuing one share to G2 in exchange for a nominal amount of cash.
On February 2, 2021, G2 and S2 entered into an arrangement agreement (the “Spin-Out Arrangement”), subject to approval by the Company’s shareholders, to transfer its Sandy Lake Gold Properties to S2 in exchange for shares of S2 that are to be distributed pro-rata to the shareholders of G2.
On April 9, 2021, the Spin-Out Arrangement was completed, and the Sandy Lake Gold Properties were transferred to S2 in exchange for 12,655,667 common shares of S2, and immediately distributed to the shareholders of the Company on a pro-rata basis, with one share of S2 received for every ten shares of G2 held. In connection with the Spin-Out Arrangement, the carrying value of Sandy Lake Gold properties totaling $11,001,698 were derecognized, and the S2 shares were treated as a distribution of capital to the shareholders of the Company. In accordance with IFRIC 17, the distribution was valued at $1,265,567 based on the fair value of the common shares of S2 and the Company recorded a loss on spin-out of mining interests totaling $nil (May 31, 2021 - $9,736,131) in the consolidated statement of loss and comprehensive loss for the year ended May 31, 2022.
(b) Guyana Projects, Guyana, South America
There are currently artisanal workings on one of the Guyana Project properties and the operators pay production royalties to the Company which are reflected as royalty revenue.
The Oko Option Agreement
Through the Oko option agreement (which was executed on December 22, 2017), the Company has the right to acquire a 100% interest in 8 mining permits. The Oko option agreement is subject to the following payments to the Owner:
