CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEARS ENDED MARCH 31, 2021 AND 2020

(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

==> picture [99 x 38] intentionally omitted <==

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF GETCHELL GOLD CORP.

Opinion

We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Getchell Gold Corp. (the "Company"), which comprise:

  •  the consolidated statements of financial position as at March 31, 2021 and 2020;

  •  the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss for the years then ended;

  •  the consolidated statements of changes in shareholders’ equity for the years then ended;

  •  the consolidated statements of cash flows for the years then ended; and

  • the 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 March 31, 2021 and 2020, and its consolidated financial performance and consolidated cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”).

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 Auditors’ 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 audit 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 in our audits is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern

We draw attention to Note 1 in the consolidated financial statements, which indicates that the Company incurred a net loss of $3,929,589 during the year ended March 31, 2021 and, as of that date, had an accumulated deficit of $15,878,365. As stated in Note 1, these events or conditions, along with other matters as set forth in Note 1, indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

Other Information

Management is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises of Management’s Discussion and Analysis.

Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not and will not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information identified above and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audits, and remain alert for indications that the other information appears to be materially misstated.

We obtained Management's Discussion and Analysis prior to the date of this auditors' 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 in this auditors’ report. 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 IFRS, 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.

Auditors' 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 auditors’ 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 auditors’ 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 auditors' 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.

  •  Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Company to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

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 auditors' report is Michelle Chi Wai So.

GETCHELL GOLD CORP. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the years ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

1 . NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN

Getchell Gold Corp. (the “Company”) is a Canadian junior resource exploration company, that carries on business in one segment, being the identification, acquisition and exploration of properties for mining of precious and base metals. The Company is incorporated and domiciled in Ontario, Canada.

The Company has four exploration assets in Nevada, USA. The registered address of the Company and its principal place of business is 310-133 Richmond Street West, Toronto, ON M5H 2L3. The Company’s shares are listed on the Canadian Securities Exchange (“CSE”) under the symbol “GTCH” and also trade in the United States on the Over-the-Counter OTCQB Venture Market (“OTCQB”) under the symbol “GGLDF”.

Getchell Gold Corp. (“Getchell”) and Buena Vista Gold Inc. (“BVG”) entered into an arrangement agreement on November 11, 2017, pursuant to which Getchell acquired all of the issued and outstanding common shares of BVG (the “Transaction”). The Transaction was carried out by way of a plan of arrangement (the “Agreement”), pursuant to which BVG became a wholly owned subsidiary of Getchell. As a result of the Transaction, Getchell Gold Corp., as the “Resulting Issuer,” continued on with the business of BVG under the name “Getchell Gold Corp.” The Transaction was deemed to be a reverse takeover (“RTO”) as shareholders of BVG acquired control of the combined entity.

On November 6, 2018, the Company completed the Transaction and the common shares of the Resulting Issuer were listed on the CSE and began trading on December 3, 2018. Trading was halted on December 18, 2018 when the Company became aware that the former Wabi Exploration Inc. (“Wabi”) shares were trading on a pre-consolidation basis between December 3, 2018 and December 18, 2018 (the “Trading Period”), not on a 1 for 6 basis as required by the Agreement. The former Wabi shares were consolidated prior to the resumption of trading on January 21, 2019.

The Company participated in numerous formal discussions with investment industry participants and regulators in an effort to find a resolution. After careful consideration, management determined that the best option was for the Company to issue shares to buyers of shares during the Trading Period. During the year ended March 31, 2020, 1,057,956 common shares were issued (Note 6). With respect to the trading of preconsolidation shares during the Trading Period, a brokerage account reconciliation resulted in the return of 97,500 common shares for cancellation. While there was a dilutive effect to all shareholders, the Board of Directors believed that this solution was in the best interest of all shareholders and would allow the Company to advance its exploration assets in order to create value for shareholders.

The business of exploring for minerals involves a high degree of risk and there can be no assurance that current exploration programs will result in profitable mining operations. The Company’s continued existence is dependent upon the preservation of its interests in the underlying properties, the discovery of economically recoverable reserves and the ability of the Company to dispose of its interests on an advantageous basis. Although the Company has taken steps to verify title to the property on which it is conducting exploration and in which it has an interest, these procedures do not guarantee the Company’s title. Property title may be subject to government licensing requirements or regulations, unregistered prior agreements, unregistered claims, aboriginal claims, and non-compliance with regulatory requirements.

GETCHELL GOLD CORP. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the years ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

1 . NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN – continued

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of accounting principles applicable to a going concern. This assumes the Company will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its obligations in the normal course of operations. As at March 31, 2021, the Company had not yet achieved profitable operations and continues to be dependent upon its ability to obtain sufficient working capital from external financings to meet the Company’s liabilities as they become payable, and ultimately to generate profitable future operations. The Company incurred a net loss of $3,929,589 (2020 - $2,591,139) during the year ended March 31, 2021. As at March 31, 2021, the Company had a deficit of $15,878,365 (2020 - $12,047,251).

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared coronavirus COVID-19 a global pandemic. This contagious disease outbreak, which has continued to spread, and any related adverse public health developments, has adversely affected workforces, economies, and financial markets globally, potentially leading to an economic downturn. The pandemic could result in delays in the course of business, including potential delays to its exploration efforts/activities/programs, and continue to have a negative impact on the stock market, including trading prices of the Company’s shares and its ability to raise new capital. It is not possible for the Company to predict the duration or magnitude of the adverse results of the outbreak and its effects on the Company’s business or results of operations at this time. These material uncertainties may cast some doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These consolidated financial statements 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 operations, and at amounts different from those in the consolidated financial statements. Such amounts could be material.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION

(i) Statement of compliance

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). The policies set out below were consistently applied to all the periods presented unless otherwise noted.

These consolidated financial statements of the Company were approved and authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on July 26, 2021.

(ii) Basis of presentation

These consolidated financial statements were prepared under the historical cost basis, except for certain assets which are measured at fair value as explained in the accounting policies set out in Note 3 below. In addition, these consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting except for cash flow information. The consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars unless otherwise indicated.

(iii) Principles of consolidation

These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries Buena Vista Gold Inc. and Getchell Gold Nevada Inc. (incorporated in Nevada, USA). Subsidiaries consist of entities over which the Company is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns as well as the ability to affect those returns through the power to direct the relevant activities of the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date control is transferred to the Company and are deconsolidated from the date control ceases. The consolidated financial statements include all the assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and cash flows of the Company and its subsidiaries after eliminating interentity balances and transactions.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION – continued

(iv) Significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates and assumptions are continuously evaluated and are based on management’s experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates and these differences could be material.

The areas which require management to make significant judgments, estimates and assumptions in determining carrying values include, but are not limited to:

- Going concern

As is common with exploration companies, the Company's ability to continue its on-going and planned exploration activities and continue operations as a going concern, is dependent upon the recoverability of costs incurred to date on mineral properties, the existence of economically recoverable reserves, and the ability to obtain necessary equity financing from time to time. The factors considered by management are disclosed in Note 1.

- Title to mineral property interests

Although the Company has taken steps to verify title to mineral properties in which it has an interest, these procedures do not guarantee the Company’s title. Such properties may be subject to prior agreements or transfers and title may be affected by undetected defects.

- Functional currency

The functional currency for the Company and each of its subsidiaries is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates. Determination of the functional currency may involve certain judgments to determine the primary economic environment and the Company reconsiders functional currency of its entities if there is a change in events and conditions which determined the primary economic environment.

‐ Income taxes and recoverability of potential deferred tax assets

In assessing the probability of realizing income tax assets recognized, management makes estimates related to expectations of future taxable income, applicable tax planning opportunities, expected timing of reversals of existing temporary differences and the likelihood that tax positions taken will be sustained upon examination by applicable tax authorities. In making its assessments, management gives additional weight to positive and negative evidence that can be objectively verified. Estimates of future taxable income are based on forecasted cash flows from operations and the application of existing tax laws in each jurisdiction. The Company considers whether relevant tax planning opportunities are within the Company’s control, are feasible, and are within management’s ability to implement. Examination by applicable tax authorities is supported based on individual facts and circumstances of the relevant tax position examined in light of all available evidence. Where applicable tax laws and regulations are either unclear or subject to ongoing varying interpretations, it is reasonably possible that changes in these estimates can occur that materially affect the amounts of income tax assets recognized. Also, future changes in tax laws could limit the Company from realizing the tax benefits from the deferred tax assets. The Company reassesses unrecognized income tax assets at each reporting period.

(iv) Significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions – continued

‐ Share-based compensation

Management determines costs for share-based compensation using market-based valuation techniques. The fair value of the market-based and performance-based share awards are determined at the date of grant using generally accepted valuation techniques. Assumptions are made and judgment used in applying valuation techniques. These assumptions and judgments include estimating the future volatility of the stock price, expected dividend yield, future employee turnover rates and future employee stock option exercise behaviors and corporate performance. Such judgments and assumptions are inherently uncertain. Changes in these assumptions affect the fair value estimates.

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The significant accounting policies that have been applied in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are summarized below.

(i) Foreign currency transactions and translation

The Company’s presentation and functional currency is the Canadian dollar. The functional currency of Buena Vista Gold Inc. and Getchell Gold Nevada Inc. is also the Canadian dollar.

Transactions in currencies other than the Canadian dollar are recorded at exchange rates prevailing on the dates of the transactions. At the end of each reporting period, the monetary assets and liabilities of the Company that are denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rate of exchange at the date of the consolidated statement of financial position while non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at historical rates. Revenues and expenses are translated at the exchange rates approximating those in effect on the date of the transactions. Exchange gains and losses arising on translation are included in profit or loss.

(ii) Exploration and evaluation properties

The Company expenses exploration and evaluation expenditures as incurred. Exploration and evaluation expenditures include acquisition costs of mineral exploration properties, property option payments and evaluation activity. Once the technical feasibility and commercial viability of extracting the mineral resource has been determined, the property is considered to be a mine under development and is classified as ‘mines under construction’ into property, plant and equipment. All costs relating to the construction, installation or completion of a mine that are incurred subsequent to the exploration and evaluation stage are capitalized to mines under construction. On the commencement of commercial production, depletion of each mining property will be provided on a unit-of-production basis using estimated resources as the depletion base.

(iii) Furniture

On initial recognition, furniture is valued at cost, being the purchase price and directly attributable cost of acquisition or construction required to bring the asset to the location and condition necessary to be capable of operating in the manner intended by the Company, including appropriate borrowing costs and the estimated present value of any future unavoidable costs of dismantling and removing items. The corresponding liability is recognized within provisions.

Furniture is subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation, less any accumulated impairment losses.

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – continued

(iii) Furniture – continued

Depreciation is based on the cost of an asset less its residual value. Depreciation is recognized in profit or loss over the estimated useful lives using the following basis:

Computers - 55% diminishing balance

Furniture and fixtures - 25% diminishing balance

Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each financial year end and adjusted if appropriate.

(iv) Impairment of non-financial assets

The carrying values of long-lived assets are assessed for impairment when indicators of such impairment exist. If any indication of impairment exists, an estimate of the asset's recoverable amount is calculated. The recoverable amount is determined as the higher of the fair value less costs to sell for the asset and the asset's value in use.

If the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is impaired and an impairment loss is charged to profit or loss so as to reduce the carrying amount to its recoverable amount.

(v) Financial instruments

Recognition and classification

The Company recognizes a financial asset or financial liability on the statement of financial position when it becomes party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument.

The Company classifies its financial instruments in the following categories: at fair value through profit and loss (“FVTPL”), at fair value through other comprehensive income (loss) (“FVTOCI”) or at amortized cost. The Company determines the classification of financial assets at initial recognition. The classification of debt instruments is driven by the Company’s business model for managing the financial assets and their contractual cash flow characteristics.

Equity instruments that are held for trading are classified as FVTPL. For other equity instruments, on the day of acquisition the Company can make an irrevocable election (on an instrument-by-instrument basis) to designate them as at FVTOCI. Financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost, unless they are required to be measured at FVTPL (such as instruments held for trading or derivatives) or if the Company has opted to measure them at FVTPL.

Measurement

Financial assets at FVTOCI

Elected investments in equity instruments at FVTOCI are initially recognized at fair value plus transaction costs. Subsequently they are measured at fair value, with gains and losses recognized in other comprehensive income (loss).

Financial assets and liabilities at amortized cost

Financial assets and liabilities at amortized cost are initially recognized at fair value plus or minus transaction costs, respectively, and subsequently carried at amortized cost less any impairment.

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – continued

(v) Financial instruments – continued

Financial assets and liabilities at FVTPL

Financial assets and liabilities carried at FVTPL are initially recorded at fair value and transaction costs are expensed in profit or loss. Realized and unrealized gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of the financial assets and liabilities held at FVTPL are included in profit or loss in the period in which they arise. Where management has opted to recognize a financial liability at FVTPL, any changes associated with the Company’s own credit risk will be recognized in other comprehensive income (loss).

Impairment of financial assets at amortized cost

The Company recognizes a loss allowance for expected credit losses on financial assets that are measured at amortized cost. At each reporting date, the Company measures the loss allowance for the financial asset at an amount equal to the lifetime expected credit losses if the credit risk on the financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition. If at the reporting date, the credit risk on the financial asset has not increased significantly since initial recognition, the Company measures the loss allowance for the financial asset at an amount equal to the twelve month expected credit losses. The Company shall recognize in profit or loss, as an impairment gain or loss, the amount of expected credit losses (or reversal) that is required to adjust the loss allowance at the reporting date to the amount that is required to be recognized.

Derecognition

Financial assets

The Company derecognizes financial assets only when the contractual rights to cash flows from the financial assets expire, or when it transfers the financial assets and substantially all of the associated risks and rewards of ownership to another entity. Gains and losses on derecognition are generally recognized in profit or loss. However, gains and losses on derecognition of financial assets classified as FVTOCI remain within accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).

Financial liabilities

The Company derecognizes financial liabilities only when its obligations under the financial liabilities are discharged, cancelled or expired. Generally, the difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognized and the consideration paid and payable, including any non-cash assets or liabilities assumed, is recognized in profit or loss.

(vi) Provisions

A provision is recognized in the consolidated statement of financial position when the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and the amount can be reliably estimated. If the effect is material, provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The increase in provision due to passage of time is recognized as interest expense.

A provision for onerous contracts is recognized when the expected benefits to be derived by the Company from a contract are lower than the unavoidable cost of meeting its obligations under the contract. At each consolidated statement of financial position reporting date, provisions are reviewed and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation.

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – continued

(vii) Rehabilitation provision

A legal or constructive obligation to incur rehabilitation provisions may arise when environmental disturbance is caused by the exploration, development or ongoing production of a mineral property interest. Such costs arising from the decommissioning of plant and other site preparation work, discounted to their net present value, are provided for and capitalized at the start of each project to the carrying amount of the asset as soon as the obligation to incur such costs arises. Discount rates using a pre-tax rate that reflect the time value of money are used to calculate the net present value. These costs are charged against profit or loss over the economic life of the related asset, through amortization using either a unit-of-production or the straight-line method as appropriate. The related liability is adjusted for each period for the unwinding of the discount rate and for changes to the current market-based discount rate, amount or timing of the underlying cash flows needed to settle the obligation. Costs for restoration of subsequent site damage which is created on an ongoing basis during production are provided for at their net present values and charged against profits as extraction progresses.

The Company had no significant rehabilitation obligations as at March 31, 2021 and 2020.

(viii) Share capital and warrants

The Company’s common shares are classified as equity instruments. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares are shown in equity as a deduction from the proceeds.

Warrants are classified as equity if they will be settled only through the issuance of a fixed number of the Company’s own equity instruments. Upon exercise, the shares are issued from treasury and the amount reflected in warrants is credited to share capital for the proceeds allocated when the warrant was first issued. Upon expiry, the grant date value of the warrants is reclassified to deficit.

The Company has adopted a residual value method with respect to the measurement of shares and warrants issued as private placement units. The residual value method first allocates value to common shares issued in the private placements at their fair value as determined by the closing quoted bid price on the announcement date. The remaining balance, if any, is allocated to the warrants. Any value attributed to the warrants is recorded as warrants reserve in shareholders’ equity. Share issue costs are netted against share proceeds.

Warrants issued to agents or brokers on a non-cash basis in connection with corporate financings are recorded at fair value using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and charged against share capital as share issue costs with an offsetting increase to warrants reserve if the warrants are exercisable in the Company's functional currency. Warrants exercisable in a currency other than the Company's functional currency are recorded to warrant liability on the consolidated statement of financial position and valued initially and at each period end using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Any gains or losses are recognized in profit or loss.

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – continued

(ix) Share-based compensation

Equity-settled share-based compensation to employees and others providing similar services are measured at the fair value of the equity instruments at the grant date. An individual is classified as an employee when the individual is an employee for legal or tax purposes (direct employee) or provides services similar to those performed by a direct employee, including directors of the Company.

The fair value determined at the grant date of the equity-settled share-based compensation is expensed over the vesting period. The fair value of the options granted is measured using the Black-Scholes optionpricing model, taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the options were granted. At each financial position reporting date, the amount recognized as an expense is adjusted to reflect the actual number of share options that are expected to vest. Stock option expense incorporates an expected forfeiture rate for those options that do not vest immediately.

Equity-settled share-based compensation 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 when the counterparty renders the service.

Upon expiry or cancellation, the value of share-based compensation such as stock options and warrants will be reallocated from stock option reserve to deficit.

(x) Loss per share

Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss applicable to common shares of the Company by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss applicable to common shares by the sum of the weighted average number of common shares issued and outstanding and all additional common shares that would have been outstanding, if potentially dilutive instruments are converted during the year.

(xi) Taxation

Current tax

Income tax expense represents the tax currently payable on the taxable income using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period, adjusted for amendments to tax payable with regards to previous years.

Deferred tax

In general, deferred tax is recognized in respect of temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. Deferred income tax is determined on a non-discounted basis using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date and are expected to apply when the deferred tax asset or liability is settled. Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that the assets can be recovered.

Deferred income tax is provided on temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries and associates, except, in the case of subsidiaries, where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference is controlled by the Company and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are presented as non-current.

8. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

The Company manages its shareholders’ equity as capital, making adjustments based on available funds, to support the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral properties. The Board of Directors does not establish quantitative return on capital criteria for management but rather relies on the expertise of the Company’s management to sustain future development of the business.

The properties to which the Company currently has an interest are in the exploration stage and as such, the Company is dependent on external financing to fund its activities. In order to carry out the planned exploration as well as satisfy administrative costs, the Company will spend its existing working capital and raise additional funds as needed. The Company will continue to assess new properties should sufficient geological or economic potential be demonstrated and if the Company has adequate financial resources to do so.

Management reviews its capital management approach on an ongoing basis and believes that this approach is reasonable given the current size of the Company. There were no changes to its capital management approach during the years ended March 31, 2021 and 2020. Neither the Company nor its subsidiaries is subject to externally imposed capital requirements.

The Company’s objective when managing capital is to safeguard the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company has no external debt and is dependent on the capital markets to finance exploration and development activities.

9. SEGMENTED INFORMATION

The Company has one operating segment: the acquisition, exploration and development of precious and base metal mineral resource properties located in Nevada, USA. the furniture is located in USA and Canada.

10. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT

The Company is exposed through its operations to the following financial risks:

  • Market Risk

  • Liquidity Risk

  • Credit Risk

In common with all other businesses, the Company is exposed to risks that arise from its use of financial instruments. This note describes the Company’s objectives, policies and processes for managing those risks and the methods used to measure them. Further quantitative information in respect of these risks is presented throughout these consolidated financial statements.

There have been no substantive changes in the Company’s exposure to financial instrument risks, its objectives, polices and processes for managing those risks or the methods used to measure them from previous years unless otherwise stated in the note.

GETCHELL GOLD CORP. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the years ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

10. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT - continued

Market Risk

Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market prices are comprised of three types of risk: foreign currency risk, interest rate risk and commodity price risk.

Foreign Currency Risk

Given the global nature of the Company’s business, the Company’s operating businesses, financial reporting results and cash flows are exposed to risks associated with foreign currency fluctuations. For the current fiscal year, management estimates that if the United States Dollar had weakened or strengthened by 10% against the Canadian dollar, the resulting change would result in an increase/decrease of approximately $30,109. Included in cash is US$128,630 ($161,753) (2020 – US$37,739 ($53,540)), prepaid expenses is US$118,477 ($148,985) (2020 – US$49,412 ($70,101)), and accounts payable and accrued liabilities is US$7,669 ($9,644) (2020 – US$20,199 ($28,656)) denominated in foreign currency.

Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that future cash flows will fluctuate as a result of changes in market interest rates. The Company does not have any borrowings. Interest rate risk is limited to potential decreases on the interest rate offered on cash held with chartered Canadian financial institutions. Sensitivity to a plus or minus 1% change in the interest rates could impact any renewals or extensions of term deposits which would have no significant impact on the net loss due to the immateriality of the interest earned.

Commodity Price Risk

The ability of the Company to develop its mineral properties and the future profitability of the Company is directly related to the market price of precious metals. The Company closely monitors commodity prices to determine the appropriate course of action to be taken. Based on management’s knowledge and expertise of the financial markets, the Company believes that commodity price risk is not relevant as the Company is not a producing entity.

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they become due. The Company’s policy is to ensure that it will always have sufficient cash to allow it to meet its liabilities when they become due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company’s reputation. The key to success in managing liquidity is the degree of certainty in the cash flow projections. If future cash flows are fairly uncertain, the liquidity risk increases.

At March 31, 2021, the Company had a cash balance of $1,767,830 (2020 - $810,190) and current liabilities of $137,581 (2020 - $254,548).

The following is a summary of the Company’s material contractual obligations (representing undiscounted contractual cash flows):

10. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT - continued

Credit Risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or a counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Company is exposed to credit risk in its cash. The maximum credit risk represented by the Company’s financial assets is represented by their carrying amounts. Concentration of credit risk exists with respect to the Company’s cash as substantially the entire amount is held at a single major Canadian financial institution.

Credit risk on cash is minimized by depositing with only reputable financial institutions.

Determination of Fair Value

Fair values have been determined for measurement and/or disclosure purposes based on the following methods. When applicable, further information about the assumptions made in determining fair values is disclosed in the notes specific to that asset or liability.

Financial instruments measured at fair value are classified into one of three levels in the fair value hierarchy according to the relative reliability of the inputs used to estimate the fair values. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are:

Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly; and

Level 3 – Inputs that are not based on observable market data.

The consolidated statements of financial position carrying amounts for cash, accounts receivables, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate fair value due to their short-term nature. Due to the use of subjective judgments and uncertainties in the determination of fair values these values should not be interpreted as being realizable in an immediate settlement of the financial instruments.

11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Environmental contingencies

The Company's exploration activities are subject to various international laws and regulations governing the protection of the environment. These laws and regulations are continually changing and generally becoming more restrictive.

The Company conducts its operations so as to protect public health and the environment and believes its operations are materially in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. The Company has made, and expects to make in the future, expenditures to comply with such laws and regulations.
