CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF GLOBEX MINING ENTERPRISES INC. YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2020 AND 2019 (EXPRESSED IN CANADIAN DOLLARS)

==> picture [143 x 34] intentionally omitted <==

Independent Auditor's Report

To the Shareholders of Globex Mining Enterprises Inc.:

Opinion

We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Globex Mining Enterprises Inc. (the "Corporation") and its subsidiary, which comprise the consolidated statements of financial position as at December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, and the consolidated statements of income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss), changes in shareholders' 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 Corporation as at December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, 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 Corporation 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.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period. We have determined that there are no key audit matters to communicate in our report.

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 Corporation’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 Corporation or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Corporation’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 Corporation’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 Corporation’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 Corporation 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 Corporation 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 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 Jo-Ann Lempert.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2020 and 2019 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

1. General Business Description

Globex Mining Enterprises Inc. (“Globex” or the ‘’Corporation’’) is a North American focused exploration and development property bank which operates under the project generator business model. It seeks to create shareholder value by acquiring mineral properties, undertaking limited exploration and therefore readying them for optioning, joint venturing, or outright sale. Globex's current mineral portfolio consists of approximately 190 early to mid-stage exploration, development and royalty properties which contain Base Metals (copper, nickel, zinc, lead), Precious Metals (gold, silver, platinum, palladium), Specialty Metals and Minerals (manganese, titanium dioxide, iron, molybdenum, lithium, cobalt, scandium, antimony, rare earths and associated elements) and Industrial Minerals (mica, silica, feldspar, pyrophyllite, kaolin as well as talc and magnesite).

Globex was incorporated in the Province of Quebec and following the approval of shareholders on June 12, 2014, it was continued under the Canada Corporations Act, effective October 28, 2014. Its head office is located at 89 Belsize Drive, Toronto, Ontario M4S 1L3 and its principal business office is located at 86, 14th Street, Rouyn-Noranda, Quebec, J9X 2J1, Canada.

Globex’s common shares are listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX") under the symbol GMX, in Europe under the symbol G1MN on the Frankfurt, Stuttgart, Berlin, Munich, Tradegate, Lang & Schwarz Stock Exchanges and trades under the symbol GLBXF on the OTCQX International Exchange in the United States.

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared coronavirus (COVID-19) a global pandemic. This contagious disease outbreak, which has continued to spread, has adversely affected workforces, economies, and financial markets globally, leading to an economic downturn. The duration and full financial effect of the COVID-19 pandemic is unknown at this time, as are the measures taken by governments, companies and others to attempt to reduce the spread of COVID-19. Any estimate of the length and severity of these developments is therefore subject to significant uncertainty, and accordingly estimates of the extent to which the COVID-19 may materially and adversely affect the Corporation’s operations, financial results and condition in future periods are also subject to significant uncertainty, including potential restrictions on exploration and development sites access and supply chains disruptions that could delay the exploration and development plans of the properties of the Corporation.

2. Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2020 and 2019 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The principal accounting policies applied in the presentation of these consolidated financial statements are set out below.

(a) Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Corporation, and its controlled subsidiary Globex Nevada Inc.

All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated on consolidation. The table which follows outlines Globex's interest in the entity:

Corporate Entity Relationship December31, 2020 December31, 2019
Globex Nevada Inc. Subsidiary 100% 100%

The Corporation has control when it holds power over the investee, is exposed, or has right to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to use its power over the investee to affect the amount of the investor’s returns. The Corporation must reassess whether it controls the investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control listed above. Subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date control commences until the date control ceases. All inter-corporation transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated on consolidation.

(b) Functional and presentation currency

The Corporation’s presentation currency and the functional currency of all of its operations is the Canadian dollar ("CDN") as this is the principal currency of the economic environment in which it operates. Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded in the Corporation’s functional currency at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the functional currency rate of exchange ruling at the end of each reporting period. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates as at the dates of the initial transactions. Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value is determined. All gains and losses on conversion of these foreign currency transactions are included in income and loss.

The subsidiary's functional currency is the US dollar. For the purpose of presenting consolidated financial statements, the assets and liabilities of foreign operations are expressed in Canadian dollars using exchange rates prevailing at the end of the reporting period. Revenue and expense items are translated at the average exchange rates for the period. Exchange differences arising, if any, are recognized as other comprehensive income in the consolidated statement of income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss). However, the foreign operations have been minimal over the past years.

3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

(c) Interest in joint ventures

A joint venture can take the form of a jointly controlled entity, jointly controlled operation or jointly controlled assets. A joint venture is a contractual arrangement whereby the Corporation and other parties undertake an economic activity that is subject to joint control (i.e. when the strategic financial and operating policy decisions relating to the activities of the joint venture require the unanimous consent of the parties sharing control).

When the Corporation undertakes its activities under joint venture arrangements, its share of jointly controlled assets and any liabilities incurred jointly with other venturers are recognized in the consolidated financial statements and classified according to their nature. Liabilities and expenses incurred directly in respect of interest in jointly controlled assets are accounted for on an accrual basis.

Joint venture arrangements that involve the establishment of a separate entity in which each venture has an interest are referred to as jointly controlled entities. The Corporation reports its interest in jointly controlled entities using the equity method.

(d) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at banks and on hand, redeemable deposits and short-term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less, which are readily convertible into a known amount of cash.

(e) Cash reserved for exploration

Cash reserved for exploration comprise cash at banks and on hand, and short-term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less, which are readily convertible into a known amount of cash. These funds are reserved for funding prescribed resource expenditures.

(f) Refundable tax credits and mining duties

The Corporation is entitled to a refundable tax credit of 28% on qualified exploration expenditures incurred in the province of Quebec. The Corporation is also entitled to a refund of mining duties of the lesser of 16% on 50% of qualified mining exploration expenses or operating losses during the period, net of the refundable tax credit. The credit or refunds are recorded based on management’s best estimates once the necessary information is available and management believes that the amounts are collectible.

(g) Financial instruments

Under IFRS 9, Financial Instruments ("IFRS 9"), financial assets are classified and measured based on the business model in which they are held and the characteristics of their contractual cash flows. IFRS 9 contains the primary measurement categories for financial assets: measured at amortized cost, fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVTOCI”) and FVTPL.

3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

(g) Financial instruments (continued)

Below is a summary showing the classification and measurement bases of our financial instruments:

Classification
Cash and cash equivalents FVTPL
Cash reserved for exploration FVTPL
Investments FVTPL
Accounts receivable (less taxes receivable) Amortized cost
Related party receivable Amortized cost
Reclamation bonds Amortized cost
Payables and accruals Amortized cost
Loanpayable Amortized cost

Financial assets:

Financial assets are classified as either financial assets at FVTPL, amortized cost, or FVTOCI. The Corporation determines the classification of its financial assets at initial recognition.

(a) 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. The Corporation’s cash and cash equivalents, cash reserved for exploration and investments are classified as financial assets measured at FVTPL.

(b) 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 Corporation’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". The Corporation’s accounts receivable (less taxes receivable), reclamation bonds and related party receivable are classified as financial assets measured at amortized cost.

Financial liabilities:

Financial liabilities are classified as either financial liabilities at FVTPL or at amortized cost. The Corporation determines the classification of its financial liabilities at initial recognition.

(a) 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. The Corporation’s payables and accruals and loan payable do not fall into any of the exemptions and are therefore classified as measured at amortized cost.

(b) Financial liabilities recorded at FVTPL

Financial liabilities are classified as FVTPL if they fall into one of the five categories detailed above. The Corporation does not have any liabilities classified at FVTPL.

3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

(g) Financial instruments (continued)

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 Corporation 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.

Expected Credit Loss Impairment Model:

IFRS 9 introduced a single expected credit loss (“ECL”) impairment model, which is based on changes in credit quality since initial application. Expected credit losses are measured to reflect a probability-weighted amount, the time value of money, and reasonable and supportable information regarding past event, current conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions. The Corporation’s financial assets, other than financial assets measured at FVTPL, include accounts receivable, reclamation bonds, and related party receivable, and the Corporation applies the simplified approach for accounts receivable. Using the simplified approach, the Corporation records a loss allowance equal to the ECLs resulting from all possible default events over the assets’ contractual lifetime. The general approach is applied to all other financial assets to which the impairment requirements of IFRS 9 apply. The adoption of the expected credit loss impairment model had no impact on the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements.

The Corporation assumes that the credit risk on a financial asset has increased significantly if it is more than 30 days past due. The Corporation considers a financial asset to be in default when the borrower is unlikely to pay its credit obligations to the Corporation in full or when the financial asset is more than 90 days past due.

The carrying amount of a financial asset is written off (either partially or in full) to the extent that there is no realistic prospect of recovery. This is generally the case when the Corporation determines that the debtor does not have assets or sources of income that could generate sufficient cash flows to repay the amounts subject to the write-off.

(h) Reclamation bonds

Reclamation bonds represent funds that are lodged with government authorities to be held against future reclamation and remediation of environmental disturbances as a result of exploration and development activities. After reclamation and remediation, the funds may be recovered. Where applicable under the arrangement with the government authority, the carrying value is increased by the accrued interest earned during the year.

GLOBEX MINING ENTERPRISES INC.

3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

(i) Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation, depletion and impairment charges.

Where an item of property, plant and equipment comprises major components with different useful lives, the components are accounted for as separate items of property, plant and equipment. Expenditures incurred to replace a component of an item of property, plant and equipment that is accounted for separately, including major inspection and overhaul expenditures, are capitalized. Directly attributable expenses incurred for major capital projects and site preparation are capitalized until the asset is brought to a working condition for its intended use. These costs include dismantling and site restoration costs to the extent these are recognized as a provision.

Management reviews the estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation methods of the Corporation’s property, plant and equipment at the end of each annual financial reporting period or when events and circumstances indicate that such a review should be made. Changes to estimated useful lives, residual values or depreciation methods resulting from such review are accounted for prospectively.

(j) Non-monetary transactions

All non-monetary transactions are measured at the fair value of the asset surrendered or the asset received whichever is more reliable. When the fair value of a non-monetary transaction cannot be reliably measure, it is recorded at the carrying amount (after reduction, when appropriate, for impairment) of the asset given up.

(k) Mineral properties and exploration expenses

The Corporation expenses all acquisition costs of mineral properties and exploration expenses as incurred.

Once a project has been established as commercially viable and technically feasible, related development expenditures are capitalized. This includes costs incurred in preparing the site for mining operations. Capitalization ceases when the mine is capable of commercial production, with the exception of development costs that give rise to a future benefit.

(l) Depreciation

Property, plant and equipment are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. The significant classes and their estimated useful lives are as follows:

Buildings 20 years
Mining equipment 5 years
Office equipment 2 to 5 years
Vehicles 5 years
Computer systems 3 years

(m) Restoration liabilities

The Corporation recognizes the fair value of restoration liabilities related to statutory, contractual or legal obligations associated with the retirement of mining claims in the year in which it is incurred when a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. The Corporation’s estimates of such costs could change as a result of changes in regulatory requirements and assumptions regarding the amount and timing of the future expenditures and changes in the net present value.

3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

(n) Provisions

Provisions are recorded when a present legal or constructive obligation exists as a result of past events where it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation can be made.

The amount recognized as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation estimated at the end of each reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows.

When some or all of the economic benefits required to settle, a provision is expected to be recovered from a third party, the receivable is recognized as an asset if it is virtually certain that reimbursement will be received and the amount receivable can be measured reliably.

(o) Revenue recognition

Revenue comprises the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for the sale of goods or arising from the use by others of the Corporation’s assets yielding option income, royalties, interest and dividends. The Corporation recognizes revenue when the amount of revenue can be reliably measured, it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the Corporation and when the specific criteria have been met for each of the Corporation’s activities as described below.

(i) Sales of mineral properties

The proceeds from the sale of mineral properties are recorded as option income.

(ii) Option income

Option income is recognized on an accrual basis in accordance with the substance of the relevant agreements. Shares received under option agreements are valued at fair value which is determined at quoted market prices if the shares are quoted on an active market. If the market for the shares is not active, fair value is established by using a valuation technique.

(iii) Royalty income

Royalty income is recognized on an accrual basis in accordance with the substance of the relevant agreements.

(iv) Interest and dividend income

Interest income from a financial asset is recognized when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Corporation and the amount of income can be measured reliably. Interest income is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest rate applicable.

Dividend income from investments is recognized when the shareholder’s right to receive payment has been established (provided that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Corporation and the amount of income can be measured reliably).

3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

(p) Share-based compensation and payments

Share-based payments to non-employees

Share-based payments granted to non-employees are measured at the fair value of the goods or services received.

In the event the Corporation cannot reasonably estimate the fair value of goods or services received, the transaction is recorded at the estimated value of the underlying equity instrument, measured at the date the Corporation obtains the goods or the counterparty renders the service.

Share-based compensation

The Corporation grants stock options to buy common shares of the Corporation to directors, officers, and employees. The Board of Directors grants such options for periods up to five years, with vesting periods determined at its sole discretion and at the TSX prices at the close of business on the day prior to the option grant. The fair value of the options is measured at the grant date, using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, and is recognized over the vesting period that the options are earned.

The fair value is recognized as an expense with a corresponding increase in contributed surplus. The amount recognized as an expense is adjusted to reflect the number of share options expected to vest. Where the terms of a stock option are modified, the minimum expense recognized is the expense as if the terms had not been modified. An additional expense is recognized for any modifications which increases the total fair value of the stock-based compensation arrangement, or is otherwise beneficial to the employee as measured at the date of modification over the remaining vesting period. If and when the stock options are exercised, the applicable fair value amounts charged to contributed surplus are transferred to share capital.

(q) Current and deferred taxes

Taxes, comprising both income and resource taxes accounted for as income taxes, are recognized in the consolidated statements of income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss), except where they relate to items recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case the related taxes are recognized in other comprehensive income or equity. Taxes on income are recorded using the tax rate that would be applicable to expected annual income.

The current income tax charge is based on taxable income for the period. Taxable income differs from net income as reported in the consolidated statements of income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss) because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other periods and it further excludes items that are not taxable or deductible.

Deferred tax is recognized, using the asset and liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. However, deferred income tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable income or loss. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the financial position date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realized or the deferred income tax liability is settled.

Deferred income tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized.

3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

(q) Current and deferred taxes (continued)

At the end of each reporting period, the Corporation reassesses unrecognized deferred tax assets. The Corporation recognizes a previously unrecognized deferred tax asset to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profits will enable the deferred tax asset to be recovered. The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and is adjusted to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable income will be available to ensure that all or part of the asset will be recovered.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the Corporation intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.

(r) Flow-through shares

The Corporation raises funds through the issuance of flow-through shares which entitles investors to prescribed resource tax benefits and credits once the Corporation has renounced these benefits to the subscribers in accordance with the tax legislation. The Corporation considers the issuance of flow-through shares in substance; (a) an issue of an ordinary share; and (b) the sale of tax deductions.

The sale of tax deductions has been measured based on the residual fair value method. At the time, the flow-through shares are issued; the sale of tax deductions is deferred and presented as Other Liabilities. When the Corporation fulfills its obligation; the liability is reduced and the sale of tax deductions is recognized in the consolidated statements of income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss) as a reduction of the deferred tax expense; and a deferred tax asset is recognized, in accordance with IAS 12, Income Taxes, for the taxable temporary differences between the tax base of the eligible expenditures and the expensed amount for accounting purposes.

(s) Share capital

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

(t) Valuation of warrants

Equity financing transactions may involve the issuance of common shares or units. A unit may consist of a certain number of common shares and a certain number of share purchase warrants. Depending upon the terms and conditions of each equity financing agreement, the warrants are exercisable into additional common shares prior to expiry at a price stipulated by the agreement.

Warrants that are part of units are valued based on a relative fair value method. The Corporation considers the market value of the common shares issued as fair value, and measures the fair value of the warrant component of the unit using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Warrants that are issued as payment for an agency fee or other transaction costs are accounted for as share-based payments.

(u) Income (loss) per common share

Basic income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the reporting year.

Diluted income (loss) per share is computed similar to basic income (loss) per share except that the weighted average shares outstanding are increased to include additional shares for the assumed exercise of stock options (if dilutive).

The number of additional shares is calculated by assuming that outstanding dilutive stock options were exercised and the proceeds from such exercise were used to acquire common stock at the average market price during the reporting periods.

3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

(v) Government grants and loans

Government grants are not recognized until there is reasonable assurance that the Corporation will comply with the conditions attached to them and that the grant will be received. Government grants are recognized in profit or loss on a systematic basis over the periods in which the Corporation recognizes as expenses the related costs for which the grants are intended to compensate.

The benefit of a government loan at a below-market rate of interest is treated as a government grant, measured as the difference between proceeds received and the fair value of the loan based on prevailing market interest rates. A forgivable loan from the government is treated as a government grant as long as there is reasonable assurance that the Corporation will meet the terms for forgiveness of the loan. The amount of the grant portion which is unexpended is recognized as a deferred government grant to be recognized in profit or loss on a systematic basis over the term of the loan.

The Corporation recognizes government subsidies when there is reasonable assurance that it will comply with the conditions required to qualify for the subsidy and that the condition of the subsidy is also reasonably assured. Government subsidies received are recognized on the consolidated statement of income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss) as a reduction to the expense that the subsidy is intended to offset.

(w) New and revised IFRS issued and adopted

IFRS 3, Business Combinations ("IFRS 3")

Amendments to IFRS 3, issued in October 2018, provide clarification on the definition of a business. The amendments permit a simplified assessment to determine whether a transaction should be accounted for as a business combination or as an asset acquisition.

The amendments are effective for transactions for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after January 1, 2020. The adoption of the amendments had no impact on the Corporation's consolidated financial statements.

IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements ("IAS 1") and IAS 8, Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors ("IAS 8")

Amendments to IAS 1 and IAS 8, issued in October 2018, provide clarification on the definition of material and how it should be applied. The amendments also align the definition of material across IFRS and other publications.

The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2020 and are required to be applied prospectively. The adoption of the amendments had no impact on the Corporation's consolidated financial statements.

4. Significant Accounting Assumptions, Judgments and Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements under the principles of IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revision to accounting estimates is recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

Information about such judgments and estimates is contained in the accounting policies and/or the notes to the consolidated financial statements and the key areas are summarized below. Areas of judgment and estimates that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements are:

Judgments

(a) Collectability of option agreements

Collectability of considerations to be received on option agreements entered into with third parties on the Corporation’s properties, involves judgment regarding the probability that the optionees will be able to meet their spending commitments and pay the considerations specified in the agreement.

Since there is significant uncertainty as to whether the optionee will be able to make all the required payments in the contract, the Corporation only recognizes revenue as the option payments are due. The optionee can avoid payments prior to them becoming due, but not after.

(b) Deferred income taxes balances

The Corporation uses the asset and liability method in accounting for deferred income taxes and mining duties. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the future income tax.

In preparing these estimates, management is required to interpret, substantially enacted legislation as well as economic and business conditions along with management’s tax and corporate structure plans which may impact taxable income in future periods.

Estimates

(a) Estimate of share-based compensation

The estimate of share-based compensation costs requires the selection of an appropriate valuation model and consideration as the inputs necessary for the model chosen. The Corporation has made estimates of the volatility of its own shares, the probable life of options granted, interest rates, and the time of exercise of those options.

The Corporation uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to calculate the fair value of the share-based compensation costs.

Globex enters into option agreements for its properties. Under these arrangements, the Corporation typically receives a series of cash option payments over a period of time and it also often receives shares in the optionee corporation.

The Nova Scotia and Washington State reclamation and environmental bonds were posted by the Corporation to secure clean-up expenses in the event of mine closure or property abandonment as required by regulations or laws in the various jurisdictions. These reclamation and environmental bonds are carried at amortized cost and represent management’s estimate of their right to reimbursement. Changes in the carrying value of the rights are recognized in income or loss in the period in which these changes occur.

On June 30, 2016, Globex acquired the Francoeur Property and related mining infrastructure as well as the Arncoeur and Norex Properties from Richmont Mines Inc. At that time, Globex also assumed the liabilities for the restoration and rehabilitation of the Francoeur Property mining site of $628,175 which had been included in a 2013 Closure Plan that had been accepted by the Ministère de l’Energie et des Ressources naturelles (“MERN”).

As part of the arrangement with Richmont Inc., the ownership of $471,132 deposited with the MERN was transferred to Globex. The transfer of the Francoeur closure liabilities and deposit was approved by the MERN on July 13, 2016. On November 24, 2016, Globex issued a letter of credit of $157,043 to the MERN resulting in the liability being fully funded. The letter of credit is fully secured by a Globex short-term investment which will remain in place until the letter of credit is withdrawn.

During the year ended December 31, 2019, Globex received a letter from the MERN in which the Francoeur Property closure liabilities were revised to $894,490. In the letter, the MERN requested that Globex secures the balance of $266,315 with a short-term investment of $42,692 (secured) by July 24, 2020 and a short-term investment of $223,623 by July 24, 2021. During the year ended December 31, 2020, Globex secured $42,692 with a short-term investment as requested by the MERN. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the activities at the Francoeur Property were minimal.

13. Loan Payable

On June 1, 2020 and December 15, 2020, the Corporation received a $40,000 loan and a $20,000 loan from a recognized Canadian financial institution from the Canada Emergency Business Account (“CEBA Loan”). The CEBA Loan bears 0% interest until December 31, 2022. If the balance is not paid by December 31, 2022, the remaining balance will be converted to a 3-year term loan at 5% annual interest paid monthly, effective January 1, 2023. The full balance must be repaid by no later than December 31, 2025. No principal payments required until December 31, 2022. Principal repayments can be voluntarily made at any time without fees or penalties. $20,000 loan forgiveness is available, provided the outstanding balance is $60,000 at December 31, 2020, and $40,000 is paid back between April 1, 2021 and December 31, 2022. The loan was recognized at fair value based on an estimated market interest rate of 8% and expected repayment of $60,000 on December 31, 2022. The Corporation made no interest payments during the year ended December 31, 2020. The difference between the loan amount of $60,000 and the fair value of the loan of $49,493 has been recognized as a deferred government grant to be recognized over the term of the loan. As at December 31, 2020, grant revenue in the amount of $1,804 (year ended December 31, 2019 – $nil) has been recorded in other income which represents the benefit of receiving an interest free-grant.

16. Revenues

Based on IFRS 15, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, management has concluded that its typical sale/option agreements with a customer (optionee/purchaser) clearly identifies; (a) the rights and obligations of both parties, (b) Globex performance obligations and (c) the overall transaction price.

Under the option arrangements, the control over the mineral properties occurs at the outset of the agreement while the transfer of title may not occur until after all of the option/sale terms have been satisfied.

Within the option agreements, Globex’s performance obligations are to:

  • (i) provide access to the mineral property to allow the customer the right to explore and assess a mineral property during an option period; and

(ii) transfer the title to the mineral property after all of the option/sale terms have been completed.

As a result of the challenges of estimating future payments, Globex believes that it is appropriate to recognize option revenues as received. As a result of the limited number of contracts in place on an ongoing basis, Globex applies the five step model at the individual contract level.

16. Revenues (Continued)

Payment terms are also clearly identified in the agreement, and usually include the following:

  • (i) cash (upfront and pre-determined amounts at milestone dates);

  • (ii) shares (upfront and a fixed number of shares at milestone dates). The shares are valued at the stock price on the date of the share certificate.

Once the option term is completed, and all commitments are met, Globex is also entitled to payments (in cash) relating to the Gross Metal Royalty ("GMR"). Under current accounting policies, net metal royalty income is recognized on an accrual basis in accordance with the substance of the relevant agreements. The Corporation will continue to apply the same methods and processes in recording this revenue.

A summary of the revenues for the respective year-ends follows:

19. Income (Loss) Per Common Share

Basic income (loss) per common share is calculated by dividing the net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted income (loss) per common share is calculated by dividing the net income (loss) applicable to common shares by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, plus the effects of dilutive common share equivalents such as stock options.

Diluted net income (loss) per share is calculated using the treasury method, where the exercise of options is assumed to be at the beginning of the period and the proceeds from the exercise of options and the amount of compensation expense measured, but not yet recognized in income (loss) are assumed to be used to purchase common shares of the Corporation at the average market price during the period. Diluted income (loss) did not include the effect of options for the year ended December 31, 2019, as they are anti-dilutive.

Stock-based compensation and payments

The Corporation uses the fair value method for stock options granted to directors, officers, employees and nonemployees. Accordingly, the fair value of the options at the date of grant is charged to operations, with an offsetting credit to contributed surplus, over vesting periods (which can vary from immediate vesting to 5 years).

Globex uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate fair value using the following weighted average assumptions:

During the year ended December 31, 2020, an expense of $127,104 (year ended December 31, 2019 - $257,571) related to share-based compensation costs has been recorded and presented separately in the consolidated statements of income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss).

Restricted Share Unit Plan

On April 11, 2012, the Board of Directors adopted a Restricted Share Unit Plan (the “RSU Plan”) for the Corporation’s executives and key employees, subject to regulatory approval.

The RSU Plan is designed to attract and retain qualified individuals, to serve as executives and key employees of the Corporation and its subsidiaries and to promote the alignment of interests of such executives and key employees, on the one hand, and the shareholders of the Corporation, on the other hand. A maximum of 600,000 common shares may be issued from treasury under the RSU Plan.

Under the RSU Plan, from time-to-time, the Board of Directors may, in its sole discretion, upon the recommendation of the Compensation Committee after consultation with the CEO of the Corporation, may grant RSUs to executives and key employees in lieu of a bonus or other similar arrangements.

The RSU Plan was approved by the shareholders on June 1, 2012 and subsequently on June 19, 2012, the TSX confirmed that it had listed and reserved 600,000 common shares of the Corporation for issuance under the Plan.

To date, no shares have been issued under the RSU Plan.

Shareholders' Rights Plan

On May 31, 2017, the Shareholders of the Corporation approved an amended and restated Shareholder Rights Plan (the “Amended Rights Plan”). On April 20, 2017, the TSX accepted notice for filing the Amended Rights Plan and on July 13, 2017, they confirmed that they were in receipt of all necessary documents needed to confirm their approval.

The Amended Rights Plan was adopted to: (i) provide shareholders and the Board of Directors time to consider and evaluate any take-over bid made for the outstanding shares of the Corporation; (ii) provide the Board of Directors with adequate time to identify, develop and negotiate value-enhancing alternatives to any such take-over bid made for the outstanding shares of the Corporation; (iii) encourage the fair treatment of shareholders in connection with any takeover bid for the outstanding shares of the Corporation; and (iv) generally prevent any person from acquiring beneficial ownership of or the right to vote more than 20% of the outstanding common shares of the Corporation (or where such person already owns more than 20% of the shares, from acquiring ownership of or right to vote any additional shares) while this process is ongoing or entering into arrangements or relationships that have a similar effect.

The Amended Rights Plan is designed to prevent the use of coercive and/or abusive take-over techniques and to encourage any potential acquirer to negotiate directly with the Board of Directors for the benefit of all of the Corporation’s shareholders. In addition, the Amended Rights Plan is intended to provide increased assurance that a potential acquirer would pay an appropriate control premium in connection with any acquisition of the Corporation.

The Amended Rights Plan will provide the Board of Directors with time to review any unsolicited takeover bid that may be made and to take action, if appropriate, to enhance shareholder value. The Amended Rights Plan attempts to protect the Corporation’s shareholders by requiring that all potential bidders comply with the conditions specified in the permitted bid provisions, failing which such bidders are subject to the dilutive features of the Amended Rights Plan. By creating the potential for substantial dilution of a bidder’s position, the Amended Rights Plan encourages an offeror to proceed by way of a permitted bid or to approach the Board of Directors with a view to negotiation.

NCIB

On March 11, 2019, the Corporation announced that TSX approved the renewal of the NCIB. Under the original NCIB, Globex was entitled to repurchase for cancellation up to 1,000,000 common shares, representing 2.15% of Globex’s “public float” as of March 7, 2018, over a twelve-month period starting on March 12, 2018 and ending on March 11, 2019.

During the year ended December 31, 2020, 8,000 common shares of Globex were purchased for cash consideration of $2,660 in accordance with the NCIB. The amount by which the repurchased amount was less than the stated capital of the shares has been credited to deficit.

On March 11, 2020, the Corporation announced that TSX approved the renewal of the NCIB. Under the original NCIB, Globex was entitled to repurchase for cancellation up to 1,000,000 common shares, representing 1.84% of Globex’s issued and outstanding shares as of March 1, 2020, over a twelve-month period starting on March 13, 2020 and ending on March 12, 2021. The purchases by Globex will be effected through the facilities of the TSX and on other alternative trading systems in Canada and will be made at the market price of the shares at the time of the purchase.

During the year ended December 31, 2020, 22,435 common shares of Globex were purchased for cash consideration of $14,972 in accordance with the NCIB. The amount by which the repurchased amount was less than the stated capital of the shares has been credited to deficit.

23. Financial Instruments

Capital risk management

The Corporation manages its share capital, warrants, contributed surplus and deficit as capital. The Corporation’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Corporation’s ability to continue as a going concern while it pursues its objective of enhancing projects, properties or the development of properties to the benefit of all stakeholders. As a Canadian exploration corporation, its principal sources of funds consist of:

(a) Option income on properties; (b) metal royalty income; (c) investment income; (d) proceeds from the issuance of common and flow-through shares and (e) other working capital items. The Corporation manages the capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of operating results in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Corporation issues shares, enters into joint venture property arrangements or disposes of properties.

The Corporation’s investment policy is to invest its cash in low risk highly liquid short-term interest-bearing instruments selected with a duration which is expected to align with the Corporation’s planned expenditures.

In order to facilitate the management of its capital requirements, the Corporation prepares annual expenditure budgets that are updated as necessary. The annual and updated budgets are approved by the Board of Directors. For capital management purposes, the Corporation has developed two objectives which are as follows:

  • Retain cash and cash equivalents, cash reserved for exploration expenditures and accounts receivable which are equal to or greater than the committed exploration expenditures,

  • Retain equity investments and debt instruments with a combined fair market value which are greater than twelve months of projected operating and administrative expenditures.

The Corporation’s overall strategy remains unchanged from 2019.

23. Financial Instruments (Continued)

Capital risk management (continued)

The Corporation may need additional capital resources to complete or carry out its exploration and development plans beyond the next twelve months. The Corporation continually considers a number of options including the optioning and sale of properties as well as other financing activities.

Financial risk management objectives

The Corporation’s financial instruments are exposed to certain financial risks including credit risk, liquidity risk, equity market risk, currency risk and fair value measurements recognized in the consolidated statement of financial position.

(a) Credit risk

The Corporation had cash and cash equivalents as well as cash reserved for exploration which totaled $4,772,492 as at December 31, 2020, (December 31, 2019 - $2,850,512). These funds are subject to a combination of the $100,000 maximum guarantee per individual institution as provided by the Canadian Deposit Insurance Corporation (“CDIC”): CDIC, a federal Crown Corporation as well as a guarantee of $1,000,000 provided by the Canadian Investors Protection Fund.

The Corporation does not believe that it is subject to any significant concentration of credit risk. Cash and cash equivalents and cash reserved for exploration are in place with major Canadian financial institutions. 40% of accounts receivable should be reflected as an increase in credit risk but as a result of this amount not being significant to the consolidated financial statements as a whole, the increased credit risk has not been recorded as an expected credit loss.

The carrying amount of financial assets represents the Corporation’s maximum credit exposure.

The maximum exposure to credit risk was:

23. Financial Instruments (Continued)

(b) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk represents the risk that the Corporation will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Corporation manages liquidity risk through its capital structure and by continuously monitoring actual and projected cash flows. The Corporation finances its exploration activities through flow-through shares, operating cash flows and the utilization of its liquidity reserves.

The Board of Directors reviews and approves the Corporation’s operating and capital budgets, as well as any material transactions out of the ordinary course of business.

Contractual maturities of financial liabilities are as follows; payables and accruals less than one year; restoration liabilities over one year; and related party liabilities from future free cash flow.

(c) Commodity price risk

Commodity price risk arises from the possible adverse effect on current and future earnings due to fluctuations in commodity prices. The ability of the Corporation to develop its properties and the future profitability of the Corporation is directly related to these prices.

Globex is entitled to a GMR for zinc production from the Nyrstar Tennessee Gordonsville facility. Under this agreement, if the LME zinc sale price is at or above USD $0.90 per pound, but below USD $1.10 per pound, then the royalty is 1% GMR. If the LME zinc sale price is equal to or above USD $1.10 per pound, then the royalty is 1.4% GMR. With a Zinc price at USD $1.24 per pound at December 31, 2020, the Corporation believes that Zinc price would need to drop dramatically before having a significant impact on the profitability.

(d) Equity market risk

Equity market risk is defined as the potential adverse impact on the Corporation's earnings due to movements in individual equity prices or general movements in the level of the stock market. The Corporation closely monitors the general trends in the stock markets and individual equity movements, and determines the appropriate course of action to be taken by the Corporation.

The Corporation currently holds investments in a number of optionee companies which are subject to fair value fluctuations arising from changes in the Canadian mining sector and equity markets with a current fair market value of $5,689,750 (December 31, 2019 - $1,416,169). Based on the balance outstanding at December 31, 2020, a 10% increase or decrease would impact income and loss by $493,586 (December 31, 2019 - $122,853).

(e) Currency risk

Globex receives US dollar GMR payments from to Nyrstar’s Zinc operations in Tennessee if the Zinc price is greater than USD $0.90 per pound. It is required to pay U.S. tax on these receipts. Globex’s practice is to convert the U.S. dollars to Canadian dollars as the funds are received after retaining sufficient funds to meet its U.S. dollar tax obligations. The Corporation has not entered into any foreign currency contracts to hedge its exposure to the currency risk.

Assets and liabilities in foreign currency are as follows:

December 31, December 31, December 31, December 31,

23. Financial Instruments (Continued)

(f) Fair value measurements recognized in the statement of consolidated financial position

The following table provides an analysis of financial instruments that are measured subsequent to initial recognition at fair value, grouped into Levels 1 to 3 based on the degree to which the fair value is observable.

  • Level 1 - fair value measurements are those derived from quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

  • Level 2 - fair value measurements are those derived from inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).

  • Level 3 - fair value measurements are those derived from valuation techniques that include inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs)

Total financial Total financial

Investments 5,689,750 - - 5,689,750
$ 10,462,242 $ - $ - $ 10,462,242

There were no transfers between level 1, level 2 and level 3 during the year.

Financial assets
Cash and cash equivalents $ 1,610,513 $ - $ - $ 1,610,513

$ 4,266,681 $ - $ - $ 4,266,681

There were no transfers between level 1, level 2 and level 3 during the year.

For all other financial assets and liabilities, the fair value is equal to the carrying value.

The fair values of the Corporation’s cash and cash equivalents, cash reserved for exploration, accounts receivable, related party receivable, payables and accruals approximate their carrying values due to their short-term nature. The fair value of the Corporation's reclamation bonds approximates the carrying value since the carrying value is increased by the accrued interest earned during the year. Investments has been adjusted to reflect the fair market value at the period end based on quoted market rates. The fair value of the Corporation's loan payable approximates its carrying value since the carrying value is determined based upon discounted future cash flows, using a discount rate adjusted for the Corporation's own credit risk, that reflects current market conditions for instruments with similar terms and risks.
