NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2021 AND 2020

(Expressed in Canadian dollars)

1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN UNCERTAINITY:

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 “TSX”) under the symbol GENM, and on the OTC Markets (the “OTCQB”) under the symbol GENMF.

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.

The Company is at an early stage of development and, as is common with many exploration companies, it relies on financings to fund its exploration and acquisition activities. The Company had a surplus of current assets over current liabilities of $10,003,538 at September 30, 2021; had not yet achieved profitable operations; had accumulated losses of $35,523,106 at September 30, 2021; and expects to incur further losses in the development of its business. Generation Mining does not have adequate cash resources to fund its operations over the next twelve months and will require additional financing in order to conduct its planned work programs on its mineral properties, meet its ongoing levels of corporate overhead and discharge its liabilities as they come due. There can be no certainty as to the ability of the Company to raise sufficient additional financing in order to continue to operate, and accordingly, there is a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) applicable to a going concern. Accordingly, they do not give effect to adjustments that would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern and therefore be required to realize its assets and liquidate its liabilities and commitments in other than the normal course of business and at amounts different from those in the accompanying financial statements.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION AND PRESENTATION:

Statement of compliance

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, 2020, 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, 2020.

(Expressed in Canadian dollars)

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION AND PRESENTATION (continued):

These unaudited interim condensed financial statements were authorized and approved for issue by the Board of Directors on November 9, 2021.

Basis of presentation

These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary Generation PGM. The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same period as the Company using consistent accounting policies for all periods presented. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Company.

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and discharge of all liabilities in the normal course of business. The condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for certain assets and liabilities which are measured at their fair values, as disclosed in Note 3 of the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Risk and uncertainty as a result of the global COVID-19 pandemic

Consistent with other businesses globally, the Company’s operations could be significantly adversely affected by the effects of the widespread global outbreak of COVID-19. During the three months ended March 31, 2021 the Marathon Project camp and operations were not materially impacted by COVID-19. While the Company continues to conduct an exploration program and advance its work related to the Environmental Assessment, the timelines for future studies, permitting and exploration could be impacted depending on both the continued duration and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic and, in particular, the Company’s ability to safely access the project site.

Beyond the potential impact to various schedules, the economic impact of COVID-19 could affect the company's ability to access capital markets and secure sufficient financing to move the project forward on previously planned timelines .

Critical accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions in applying the entity’s accounting policies Areas of judgment that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in these condensed interim consolidated financial statements are disclosed in Note 2 of the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020.

3. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS:

Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current (Amendments to IAS 1)

In January 2020, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 1, "Presentation of Financial Statements" to clarify that the classification of liabilities as current or non-current should be based on rights that are in existence at the end of the reporting period and is unaffected by expectations about whether or not an entity will exercise their right to defer settlement of a liability. The amendments further clarify requirements for classifying liabilities an entity will or may settle by issuing its own equity instruments. These amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023, with earlier application permitted. The adoption of these amendments is not expected to have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.

(Expressed in Canadian dollars)

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, interest rate and other price risk), 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 September 30, 2021 is the carrying value of cash and receivables. The credit risk on receivables is deemed low as the majority is related to federal government refunds.

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 September 30, 2021, the Company has current assets of $12,131,379 (December 31, 2020 - $14,857,059) to cover current liabilities of $2,127,841 (December 31, 2020 - $1,767,198). The current assets include cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, receivables and prepaid expenses. 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).

Lease liability
(undiscounted)
Accounts payable
and accrued
liabilities
Total
Less than 1 year $ 130,044 $ 2,089,659 $ 2,219,703

Balance at September 30, 2021 $ 553,365 $ 2,089,659 $ 2,643,024

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 and cash equivalents, 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 a 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 has no significant exposure to interest rate risk as it has no material interest bearing assets or liabilities.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2021 AND 2020

(Expressed in Canadian dollars)

4. FINANCIAL RISK FACTORS AND FAIR VALUE (continued):

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 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 September 30, 2021, comprehensive loss would have changed by approximately $189,000.

Fair Value

The carrying value of cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities are considered to be representative of their fair value due to their short-term nature. Marketable securities are recorded at fair value as of September 30, 2021 and classified as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy as they are recorded at fair value by reference to market quoted prices.

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 September 30, 2021, the Company’s capital consists of shareholder’s equity in the amount of $10,567,139 (December 31, 2020 - $13,701,422). 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.

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 (“Marathon Property”) and entered into a joint venture agreement with Stillwater Canada Inc. (“Stillwater”). 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 total consideration of $6,000,000. Pursuant to the joint venture agreement Generation Mining had the right to increase its interest in the Marathon Property to 80% by sole funding $10,000,000 in exploration, evaluation and development expenditures and preparing a preliminary economic assessment (“PEA”) within four years (“Ownership Increase Right”). On February 19, 2020, the Company filed a PEA and in November 2020 incurred $10,000,000 in exploration and evaluation expenditures fulfilling the Ownership Increase Right. On November 27, 2020, the Company increased its ownership interest to hold a 80% interest in the Marathon Property. On December 14, 2020 Stillwater elected to forgo its proportionate share of joint venture funding and dilute pursuant to the provisions of the joint venture agreement (“Dilution Provisions”). On July 21, 2021, Stillwater elected to not exercise its ownership increase right to expand its ownership in the Marathon Property to 51%. Pursuant to the Dilution Provisions Generation Mining holds an 83.5% and Stillwater a 16.5% interest in the joint venture as at September 30, 2021.

6. MINERAL PROPERTIES AND AGREEMENTS (continued):

Darnley Bay Anomaly, Northwest Territories :

The Company held the exclusive rights to a mineral concession covering the Inuvialuit Settlement Region’s lands where the Inuvialuit hold the mineral and surface rights and an exploration and development agreement with the Inuvialuit Regional Corporation (the “IRC”). The Company was in default under the various agreements with the IRC.
