GENERATION MINING LIMITED

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2020 AND 2019 (Expressed in Canadian dollars)

1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS:

Generation Mining Limited (“Generation Mining” or the “Company”) is an exploration and development company with various property interests throughout Canada. The Company was incorporated on January 11, 2018 under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario). On May 28, 2019, the Company incorporated a wholly owned subsidiary, Generation PGM Inc. (“Generation PGM”), to operate the Marathon property joint venture (“Marathon Property”) (note 6). The Company’s registered office is located at 100 King Street West, Suite 7010, Toronto, Ontario M5X 1B1. The Company’s shares are listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (the “TSE”) under the symbol GENM.

The business of mining and exploration for minerals involves a high degree of risk and there can be no assurance that current exploration programs will result in future profitable mining operations. The Company’s continued existence is dependent upon the discovery of economically recoverable ore reserves, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing to explore and develop potential ore reserves or by way of entering into joint venture arrangements, future profitable production, or alternatively, upon the Company’s ability to dispose of its interests on an advantageous basis.

Although the Company has taken steps to verify title to properties on which it is conducting exploration and in which it has an interest, in accordance with industry standards for the current stage of exploration of such properties, these procedures do not guarantee the Company’s title. Property title may be subject to unregistered prior agreements, non-compliance with regulatory requirements or aboriginal land claims.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION AND PRESENTATION:

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting ("IAS 34") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). Accordingly, certain disclosures included in the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRSs”) as issued by the IASB have been condensed or omitted. These condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s last annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019, which include information necessary or useful to understanding the Company’s business and financial statement presentation. In particular, the Company’s significant accounting policies were presented in Note 3: Significant Accounting Policies to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019.

The accounting policies applied in the preparation of these condensed consolidated interim financial statements are consistent with those applied and disclosed in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019.

In preparing these condensed consolidated interim financial statements, management has made judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenue and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The critical judgements made by management in applying the Company’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those applied and disclosed in Note 2: Use of Estimates and Judgement to the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019. Significant estimates and judgements include valuation of shares issued in non-cash transactions, the fair value of mineral properties transferred, the recoverability of mineral properties, management going concern assessment and the recognition of deferred income tax. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its judgements and estimates in relation to assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses. Management uses historical experience and various other factors it believes to be reasonable under the given circumstances as the basis for its judgements and estimates. Actual outcomes may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2020 AND 2019 (Expressed in Canadian dollars)

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION AND PRESENTATION (continued):

At the end of 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”) was reported in China. The COVID-19 outbreak has developed rapidly in 2020, with a significant number of infections around the world. On March 11, 2020, it was labelled a pandemic by the World Health Organization. During the first and second quarter of 2020, attempts at containment of COVID-19 have resulted in decreased economic activity, which has adversely affected the broader global economy. The rapid development and fluidity of the situation precludes any prediction as to the ultimate impact of COVID-19; however, the Company seeks to obtain the best possible information to enable the assessment of the risks involved and implement appropriate measures to respond. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company has taken a number of measures to safeguard the health of its employees and the local communities where it operates.

These unaudited interim condensed financial statements were authorized and approved for issue by the Board of Directors on August 11, 2020.

3. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS:

New and Revised IFRSs, Narrow Scope Amendments to IFRSs and IFRS Interpretations not yet Effective

Certain pronouncements have been issued by the IASB that are mandatory for accounting periods after December 31, 2020. There are currently no such pronouncements that are expected to have a significant impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

4. FINANCIAL RISK FACTORS AND FAIR VALUE

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:

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 and receivables. The Company reduces its credit risk by maintaining its cash with a Canadian chartered bank. The Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk as at June 30, 2020 is the carrying value of cash and receivables.

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk encompasses the risk that the Company cannot meet its financial obligations in full. The Company's main source of liquidity is its cash and marketable securities. These funds are primarily used to finance working capital, exploration expenditures, capital expenditures, and acquisitions. The Company manages its liquidity risk by regularly monitoring its cash flows from operating activities and holding adequate amounts of cash. As at June 30, 2020, the Company has current assets of $19,538,337 (December 31, 2019 - $2,049,751) to cover current liabilities of $845,156 (December 31, 2019 - $496,368). The current assets include cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, receivables and prepaid expenses and other which are not available to pay current liabilities (note 8 and 12). The Company also manages liquidity risk on the basis of expected maturity dates. The following table analyzes financial liabilities by remaining contractual maturity (contractual and undiscounted cash flows).

Market Risk

Market risk is the risk of loss that may arise from changes in market factors such as interest rate, foreign exchange rates, and commodity and equity prices affecting its cash, interest bearing investments, receivables and marketable securities.

Foreign Currency Risk

Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of change in foreign exchange rates. The Company has no significant exposure to foreign currency exchange risk as it has no significant transaction balances denominated in a foreign currency.

Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk is the risk borne by an interest-bearing asset or liability as a result of fluctuations in interest rates. The Company is exposed to interest rate fair value risk to the extent that a portion of the debt is at a fixed interest rate.

Other Price Risk

Other price risk is the risk that the value of financial instruments will fluctuate as a result of changes in market prices, whether caused by factors specific to an individual investment, its issuer, or all factors affecting all instruments traded in a market or market segment. The Company is exposed to fluctuations in market prices of its marketable securities and shares receivable from a quoted mining exploration company. The fair value of these financial instruments represents the maximum exposure to price risk.

If the quoted price of these instruments had changed by 10% as at June 30, 2020, comprehensive income would have changed by approximately $563,000.

Fair Value

The carrying value of cash, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and debt are considered to be representative of their fair value due to their short-term nature. Marketable securities and a portion of receivables are recorded at fair value as of June 30, 2020 and classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy as they are recorded at fair value by reference to market quoted prices less adjustments for any restrictions.

5. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT:

The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it, based on the funds required and available to the Company, in order to support the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral properties. As at June 30, 2020, the Company’s capital consists of shareholder’s equity in the amount of $19,339,774 (December 31, 2019 - $2,210,133). The Board of Directors does not establish quantitative return on capital criteria for the Company, but rather relies on the expertise of the Company’s management to sustain future development of the business. In this relatively formative stage of the Company’s existence, it is likely that primary emphasis will continue to be placed on equity instruments, as funded debt is currently not available to the Company.

GENERATION MINING LIMITED

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2020 AND 2019 (Expressed in Canadian dollars)

5. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT (continued):

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 and future exploration, and pay for administrative costs, the Company intends to raise additional amounts of working capital as needed. The Company may continue to assess new properties and seek to acquire an interest in additional properties if 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. The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements.

6. MINERAL PROPERTIES AND AGREEMENTS:

Marathon, Ontario : On July 10, 2019, the Company, through Generation PGM, completed the acquisition of a 51% initial interest in the Marathon PGM deposit near Marathon, Ontario and entered into a joint venture agreement with Stillwater Canada Inc. (“Stillwater”) with respect to the property (“Marathon Property”). The Company paid $3,000,000 in cash and issued 11,053,795 common shares of the Company at a deemed price of $0.2714 per common share (totaling $3,000,000), for a total consideration of $6,000,000. The Company has the right to increase its interest in the Marathon Property to 80% by spending $10,000,000 in exploration, evaluation and development expenditures and preparing a preliminary economic assessment (“PEA”) within four years of closing. On February 19, 2020, the Company filed a PEA and as at June 30, 2020 has completed $5,710,468 in exploration and evaluation expenditures towards fulfilling the $10 million expenditure requirement. During this four-year second earn-in period, the Company must sole-fund all expenditures in respect of the Marathon Property and related activities. Once the Company has increased its total interest in the Marathon Property to 80%, the parties will jointly fund future exploration expenditures on an 80/20 pro rata basis to maintain their respective interests in the joint venture, subject to normal dilution provisions. Upon completion of a definitive feasibility study and making a positive commercial production decision, Stillwater Canada Inc. will have 90 days to exercise an option to increase its interest in the joint venture to 51% by agreeing to fund 31% (if it has maintained a minimum 20% interest) of the total capital cost estimated by the feasibility study. The Company is currently the operator of the joint venture (unless its interest in the joint venture reduces to a minority interest) and has assumed all liabilities of the Marathon Property.

Darnley Bay Anomaly, Northwest Territories : The Company holds 100% of the rights to a mineral concession covering the Inuvialuit Settlement Region’s lands where the Inuvialuit hold the mineral and surface rights.
