INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF GO METALS CORP.
Opinion
We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Go Metals Corp. (the "Company"), which comprise:
-
the consolidated statements of financial position as at July 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 July 31, 2021 and 2020, and its consolidated financial performance and its 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 and comprehensive loss of $1,075,727 during the year ended July 31, 2021 and, as of that date, had an accumulated deficit of $5,591,215. 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.
==> picture [480 x 91] intentionally omitted <==
==> picture [94 x 36] intentionally omitted <==
- 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.

GO METALS CORP. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the year ended July 31, 2021 and 2020 (Expressed in Canadian dollars)
1. Nature of Operations and Going Concern
Go Metals Corp. (“Go Metals” or the “Company”) was incorporated on April 27, 2012 in Canada with limited liability under the legislation of the Province of British Columbia. The Company’s common shares trade on the Canadian Securities Exchange (“CSE”) under the symbol “GOCO” and its registered office is located at Suite 810 – 789 West Pender Street, Vancouver, BC, V6C 1H2, Canada.
On June 16, 2021, the Company consolidated all of its issued and outstanding common shares on the basis of every 15 old common shares into 1 new common share. On June 16, 2021, the Company also consolidated all of its issued and outstanding preferred shares on the basis of every 15 old preferred shares to 1 new preferred share. Unless otherwise noted, all share, option and warrant information have been retroactively adjusted to reflect this consolidation.
The Company is an exploration stage company and is in the process of exploring its mineral properties in Canada and has not yet determined whether its properties contain ore reserves that are economically recoverable. The recoverability of amounts spent for mineral properties is dependent upon the discovery of economically recoverable reserves, the ability of the Company to obtain the necessary financing to complete the exploration and development of its property, and upon future profitable production or proceeds from disposition of the properties. The operations of the Company will require various licences and permits from various governmental authorities which are or may be granted subject to various conditions and may be subject to renewal from time to time. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to comply with such conditions and obtain or retain all necessary licences and permits that may be required to carry out exploration, development, and mining operations at its projects. Failure to comply with these conditions may render the licences liable to forfeiture.
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, which assumes that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. Should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern, it may be unable to realize the carrying value of its assets and to meet its liabilities as they become due. As at July 31, 2021, the Company has not generated any revenues from operations and has an accumulated deficit of $5,591,215 (2020 - $4,515,488). The Company expects to incur further losses in the development of its business, all of which may cast significant doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The continued operations of the Company are dependent on its ability to generate future cash flows or obtain additional financing. Management is of the opinion that sufficient working capital will be obtained from external financing to meet the Company’s liabilities and commitments as they become due, although there is a risk that additional financing will not be available on a timely basis or on terms acceptable to the Company. These consolidated financial statements do not reflect any adjustments to the carrying values of assets and liabilities, the reported expenses, and the balance sheet classifications used that may be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. Such adjustments could be material.
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.
2. Basis of Presentation
- (a) 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”).
- (b) Basis of Measurement
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, except for certain financial instruments which are measured at fair value, as explained in the accounting policies set out in Note 3. These consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting, except for cash flow information.
- (c) Functional and Presentation Currency
The functional currency of a company is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the company operates. The presentation currency for a company is the currency in which the company chooses to present its consolidated financial statements. These consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, which is also the functional currency of the Company and its subsidiary.
- (d) Basis of Consolidation
These consolidated financial statements include the financial information of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Shiraz Petroleum Corporation (formerly Hella Resources Corp.) from the date of incorporation on November 17, 2014. Shiraz Petroleum Corporation is a dormant/inactive company. Any intercompany balances are eliminated upon consolidation.
3. Significant Accounting Policies
- (a) Mineral Properties
Recognition and Measurement
The Company charges to operations all exploration expenses incurred prior to the determination of economically recoverable reserves. These costs would also include periodic fees such as license and maintenance fees and advance royalty payments.
The Company capitalizes direct mineral property acquisition costs and those expenditures incurred following the determination that the property has economically recoverable reserves. Mineral property acquisition costs include cash consideration and the fair value of common shares issued for mineral property interests, pursuant to the terms of the relevant agreement.
10
GO METALS CORP. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the year ended July 31, 2021 and 2020 (Expressed in Canadian dollars)
3. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
(a) Mineral Properties (continued)
These costs are amortized over the estimated life of the property following commencement of commercial production, or written off if the property is sold, allowed to lapse or abandoned, or when impairment in value has been determined to have occurred. A mineral property is reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that its carrying amount may not be recoverable.
The Company may occasionally enter into option-out arrangements, whereby the Company will transfer part of a mineral interest, as consideration, for an agreement by the transferee to meet certain exploration and evaluation expenditures which would otherwise be undertaken by the Company.
The Company does not record any expenditures made by the optionee on its behalf. Any cash consideration received from the agreement is credited against the costs previously capitalized to the mineral interest given up by the Company, with any excess cash accounted for in profit or loss.
(b) Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company evaluates the recoverability of its long-lived assets at each reporting period. An impairment loss is recognized when estimated future cash flows resulting from the use of an asset and its eventual disposition is less than its carrying amount.
A mining enterprise is required to consider the conditions for impairment write-down. The conditions include significant unfavourable economic, legal, regulatory, environmental, political and other factors. In addition, management’s development activities towards its planned principal operations are a key factor considered as part of the ongoing assessment of the recoverability of the carrying amount of mineral properties. Whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of a mineral property in the exploration stage may be impaired, the capitalized costs are written down to the estimated recoverable amount valued at higher of value in use (present value of the estimated future cash flows) and proceeds from disposition, net of selling costs.
(c) 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 at the financial position date, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. Where a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows. The increase in the obligation due to the passage of time is recognized as finance expense. When some or all of the economic benefits required to settle a provision are 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.

GO METALS CORP. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the year ended July 31, 2021 and 2020 (Expressed in Canadian dollars)
3. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
(d) Income Taxes
Provision for income taxes consists of current and deferred tax expense. Income tax expense is recognized in the income statement except to the extent that it relates to items recognized either in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case it is recognized in other comprehensive income or in equity, respectively. Current tax expense is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at period end, adjusted for amendments to tax payable with regards to previous years. Taxes on income in the interim periods are accrued using the tax rate that would be applicable to expected total annual earnings.
Deferred tax is recognized in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is not recognized for temporary differences associated with the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable income or loss and temporary differences relating to investments in subsidiaries to the extent that it is probable that they will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they reverse based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.
A deferred tax asset is recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the temporary difference can be utilized. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities and assets, and they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity.
(e) Financial Instruments
Classification
The Company classifies its financial assets in the following measurement categories:
-
those to be measured subsequently at fair value (either through other comprehensive income or through profit or loss), and
-
those to be measured at amortized cost.
The classification depends on the Company’s business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual terms of the cash flows.
For assets measured at fair value, gains and losses will either be recorded in profit or loss or other comprehensive income (“OCI”). For investments in equity instruments that are not held for trading, this will depend on whether the group has made an irrevocable election at the time of initial recognition to account for the equity investment at fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVOCI”).
The Company reclassifies debt instruments when and only when its business model for managing those assets changes.

GO METALS CORP. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the year ended July 31, 2021 and 2020 (Expressed in Canadian dollars)
3. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
- (e) Financial Instruments (continued)
Recognition and derecognition
Regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognized on trade-date, the date on which the Company commits to purchase or sell the asset. Financial assets are derecognized when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets have expired or have been transferred and the Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership.
Measurement
At initial recognition, the Company measures a financial asset or financial liability at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”), transactions costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Transaction costs of financial assets carried at FVTPL are expensed in profit or loss.
Financial assets with embedded derivatives are considered in their entirety when determining whether their cash flows are solely payment of principal and interest.
Financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost or FVTPL. A financial liability is classified as at FVTPL if it is classified as held-for-trading, it is a derivative, or it is designated as such on initial recognition. Financial liabilities at FVTPL are measured at fair value and net gains and losses, including any interest expense, are recognized in income. Other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method.
Financial liabilities
The Company classifies its financial liabilities into one of two categories, depending on the purpose for which the liability was incurred. The Company’s accounting policy for each category is as follows:
Fair value through profit or loss – This category comprises of liabilities acquired or incurred principally for the purpose of selling or repurchasing it in the near term. They are carried in the statement of financial position at fair value with changes in fair value recognized through profit or loss.
Amortized cost – This category comprises of accounts payable and accrued liabilities, due to related parties, loan payable and lease liability, which are recognized at amortized cost using the effective interest method.
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.
Impairment
The Company assesses on a forward-looking basis the expected credit losses associated with its debt instruments carried at amortized cost and FVOCI. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk.

3. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
(f) Loss Per Share
Basic earnings or loss per share is computed by dividing the earnings or loss for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the relevant period. The treasury stock method is used for the calculation of diluted earnings or loss per share. Stock options, share purchase warrants, and other equity instruments are dilutive when the average market price of the common shares during the period exceeds the exercise price of the options, warrants and other equity instruments. When a loss has been incurred, basic and diluted loss per share is the same because the exercise of options and warrants would be anti-dilutive.
(g) Share Capital
The Company records proceeds from share issuances net of issue costs and any tax effects in shareholders’ equity. Common shares issued for consideration other than cash are valued based on their market value of assets or services received. If this value cannot be determined, the transactions are measured at the fair market value of the shares on the date the shares are issued. Common shares held by the Company are classified as treasury stock and recorded as a reduction to shareholders’ equity. Proceeds from unit placements are allocated between shares and warrants issued according to the residual method with proceeds being first allocated to share capital based on their market value at the date of issuance.
(h) Stock-based compensation
The Company grants stock options to acquire common shares of the Company to directors, officers, employees and consultants. An individual is classified as an employee when the individual is an employee for legal or tax purposes or provides services similar to those performed by an employee.
The fair value of stock options is measured on the date of grant, using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, and is recognized over the vesting period. Consideration paid for the shares on the exercise of stock options is credited to share capital.
In situations where equity instruments are issued to non-employees the transaction is measured at fair value of the goods or services received. If value of goods or services received cannot be accurately determined, the transaction is measured at the fair value of the stock-based compensation.
(i) Flow-through placements
The issuance of flow-through shares is accounted for similarly to the issuance of a compound financial instrument. The liability component represents the premium paid for the tax benefit to the investors. Proceeds from the issuance of shares by flow-through private placements are allocated between shares issued and a liability account using the residual method. Proceeds are first allocated to shares according to the quoted price of existing shares at the time of issuance and any residual in the proceeds is allocated to the liability. Upon expenses being incurred, the liability component is derecognized in the statement of loss and a deferred income tax liability is recognized for the taxable temporary difference created at the Company's applicable tax rate which is expected to apply in the year the deferred income tax liability will be settled. Any difference between the amount of the liability component derecognized and deferred income tax liability recognized is recorded in the statement of loss.

3. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
(i) Flow-through placements (continued)
The Company may also be subject to Part XII.6 tax on flow-through proceeds renounced under the Look-Back Rule, in accordance with Government of Canada flow-through regulations. When applicable, this tax is accrued as a financial expense until paid.
(j) Critical Accounting Judgments and Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported revenues and expenses during the period. Although management uses historical experience and its best knowledge of the amount, events, or actions to form the basis for judgments and estimates, actual results may differ from these estimates.
Critical Accounting Estimates
The following are the key estimates that may have a significant risk of resulting in a material adjustment in future periods:
Fair value estimates of equity instruments
The fair value of each stock option granted is estimated at the grant date using the BlackScholes option pricing model. The estimated life of the stock options and conversion at grant date is based on the expected life of the options and assumptions about the expected exercise pattern. Expected volatility of stock options is estimated based on the volatility of the historic values of the Company. Forfeiture rates and dividend yields are estimated based on historical data.
Income taxes
In assessing the probability of realizing income tax assets, management makes estimates related to expectations of future taxable income, applicable tax 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.
Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities
The Company uses estimation in determining the incremental borrowing rate used to measure the lease liability, specific to the asset, underlying currency, and geographic location. Where the rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable, the discount rate of the lease obligations is estimated using a discount rate similar to the Company’s specific borrowing rate. This rate represents the rate that the Company would incur to obtain the funds necessary to purchase the asset of a similar value, with similar payment terms and security in a similar environment.

- (j) Critical Accounting Judgments and Estimates (continued)
Critical Judgments Used in Applying Accounting Policies
Critical judgments exercised in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements are as follows:
Economic recoverability and probability of future economic benefits of mineral properties Management has determined that mineral property costs incurred which were capitalized have future economic benefits and are economically recoverable. Management uses several criteria in its assessments of economic recoverability and probability of future economic benefits including geological and metallurgic information, history of conversion of mineral deposits to proven and probable reserves, scoping and feasibility studies, accessible facilities, existing permits and life of mine plans.
Determination of Going Concern Assumption
The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgments regarding the applicability of going concern assumption to the Company as discussed in Note 1.
- Mining exploration tax credits and flow through expenditures
The Company is eligible for refundable tax credits on qualified resource expenditures incurred in the province of British Columbia and Quebec (the “Provinces”). Uncertainties exist with respect to the interpretation of tax regulations which could be disallowed by the province in the calculation of credits. The calculation of the Company’s refundable tax credits involves significant estimates and judgment on items whose tax treatment cannot be verified until a notice of assessment and subsequent payments have been received from the provinces. Differences between management’s estimates and the final assessment could result in adjustments to the mining exploration tax credit and the future income tax expense. The Company is also required to spend proceeds received from the issuance of flowthrough shares on qualifying resources expenditures.
Differences in judgment between management and regulatory authorities with respect to qualified expenditures may result in disallowed expenditures by the tax authorities. Any amount disallowed may result in the Company’s required expenditures not being fulfilled.
Impairment of mineral properties
Assets or cash-generating units (“CGUs”) are evaluated at each reporting date to determine whether there are any indications of impairment. The Company considers both internal and external sources of information when making the assessment of whether there are indications of impairment for the Company’s mineral properties.
In respect of costs incurred for its mineral properties, management has determined that related acquisition costs incurred, which have been capitalized, continue to be appropriately recorded on the consolidated statements of financial position at its carrying value as management has determined there are no indicators of impairment for its mineral properties as at July 31, 2021 and 2020.

3. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
(k) Leases
The Company assesses whether a contract is or contains a lease at inception of the contract. A lease is recognized as a right-of-use asset and corresponding liability at the commencement date. Each lease payment included in the lease liability is apportioned between the repayment of the liability and a finance cost. Lease liabilities represent the net present value of fixed lease payments (including in-substance fixed payments); variable lease payments based on an index, rate, or subject to a fair market value renewal condition; amounts expected to be payable by the lessee under residual value guarantees, the exercise price of a purchase option if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise that option, and payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if it is probable that the lessee will exercise that option.
The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be determined, the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate. The period over which the lease payments are discounted is the expected lease term, including renewal and termination options that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise.
Payments associated with short-term leases and leases of low-value assets are recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis in general and administration and sales and marketing expense in the consolidated statement of comprehensive loss. Short term leases are defined as leases with a lease term of 12 months or less.
Right-of-use assets are measured at cost, which is calculated as the amount of the initial measurement of lease liability plus any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, any initial direct costs and related restoration costs. The right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term and the useful life of the underlying asset. The depreciation is recognized from the commencement date of the lease.

The Company’s mineral property interests are comprised of the following properties:

10. Financial Instruments (continued)
(b) Fair Values
The Company has classified fair value measurements of its financial instruments using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of inputs used in making the measurements as follows:
-
Level 1: Valuation based on quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
-
Level 2: Valuations based on directly or indirectly observable inputs in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted interest or currency exchange rates; and
-
Level 3: Valuations based on significant inputs that are not derived from observable market data, such as discounted cash flow methodologies based on internal cash flow forecasts.
As at July 31, 2021, the fair values of cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, due to/from related parties, loan payable and lease liabilities approximate their carrying values due to the relatively short-term maturity of these instruments.
(c) Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company currently settles its financial obligations out of cash. The ability to do this relies on the Company raising equity financing in a timely manner and by maintaining sufficient cash in excess of anticipated needs. Management and the Board of Directors are actively involved in the review, planning and approval of significant expenditures and commitments. The Company’s liabilities are predominantly due within 90 days of July 31, 2021 and lease liabilities of $9,438 due within 12 months, and $852 beyond 12 months.
(d) Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations.
The Company’s cash is largely held in large Canadian financial institutions. The Company does not have any asset-backed commercial paper. The Company is not exposed to any significant credit risk.
With respect to its due from related parties, the Company assesses the credit rating of all debtors and maintains provisions for potential credit losses, and any such losses to date have been within management’s expectations. The Company’s credit risk with respect to amounts due from related parties and maximum exposure thereto as at July 31, 2021 is $890 (2020 - $11,298).
- (e) Price Risk
The Company is exposed to price risk with respect to commodity prices. The Company’s ability to raise capital to fund exploration and development activities is subject to risks associated with fluctuations in the market price of commodities.

10. Financial Instruments (continued)
- (f) Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. Financial assets and liabilities with variable interest rates expose the Company to cash flow interest rate risk. The Company does not hold any financial liabilities with variable interest rates other than loans payable which bears 5% interest (Note 6). The Company does maintain bank accounts which earn interest at variable rates but it does not believe it is currently subject to any significant interest rate risk.
- (g) Foreign currency exchange rate risk
The Company currently has no significant operations denominated in foreign currencies. Management believes there is no significant foreign currency exchange rate risk.
11. Capital Management
The Company defines its capital as cash and equity comprised of issued share capital and deficit. The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it, based on the funds available to the Company, in order to support the acquisition and 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 in which the Company currently has an interest are in the exploration stage. As such, the Company has historically relied on the equity markets to fund its activities. In addition, the Company is dependent upon external financings to fund activities. In order to carry out planned exploration and pay for administrative costs, the Company will need to raise additional funds. The Company will continue to assess new properties and seek to acquire an interest in additional properties if it feels there is sufficient geologic or economic potential and if it has adequate financial resources to do so. Management reviews its capital management approach on an ongoing basis and believes that this approach, given the relative size of the Company, is reasonable. There have been no changes in the Company’s approach to capital management during the year.
The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements as at July 31, 2021 except when the Company issues flow-through shares for which the amount should be used for exploration work.
On November 24, 2020, the Company completed flow-through private placements totalling $650,000. As at July 31, 2021, the Company incurred $415,468 in eligible exploration and evaluation expenditures and consequently the Company has the obligation to incur a remaining balance of $234,532 in exploration and evaluation expenditures no later than November 24, 2022.
On December 20, 2018, the Company completed flow-through private placements totalling $500,000. As at December 31, 2020, the Company incurred the required $500,000 in eligible exploration and evaluation expenditures and consequently the Company has no further obligation to incur any further exploration and evaluation expenditures, in connection with this financing.

| $- | $- |
The Company has approximately $2,560,000 of non-capital losses available, which begin to expire in 2032 through to 2041 and may be applied against future taxable income. The Company also has approximately $1,747,000 of exploration and development costs which are available for deduction against future income for tax purposes. At July 31, 2021, the net amount which would give rise to a deferred income tax asset has not been recognized as it is not probable that such benefit will be utilized in the future years.
