(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

Independent auditor’s report
To the Shareholders of Gold Mountain Mining Corp.
Our opinion
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Gold Mountain Mining Corp. and its subsidiaries (together, the Company) as at January 31, 2021 and its financial performance and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IFRS).
What we have audited
The Company’s consolidated financial statements comprise:
-
the consolidated statement of financial position as at January 31, 2021;
-
the consolidated statement of loss and comprehensive loss for the year then ended;
-
the consolidated statement of changes in shareholders’ equity for the year then ended;
-
the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended; and
-
the notes to the consolidated financial statements, which include significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit 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 believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Independence
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. We have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements.

Other information
Management is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the 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 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 audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed, 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 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.
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.
==> picture [73 x 55] intentionally omitted <==
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 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 Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
-
Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Company to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
==> picture [73 x 55] intentionally omitted <==
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 Dean Larocque.

Gold Mountain Mining Corp. (formerly Freeform Capital Partners Inc.) Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements Years Ended January 31, 2021 and 2020 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars)
1. Nature of operations
Gold Mountain Mining Corp., (the "Company" or “GMTN”) previously Freeform Capital Partners Inc. was incorporated pursuant to the provisions of the Business Corporations Act of British Columbia on November 5, 2018. The Company’s common shares were listed on the TSX Venture Exchange (“the TSXV”) under the stock symbol “FRM.P” and commenced trading on June 19, 2020. On December 23, 2020, the Company changed its name to Gold Mountain Mining Corp. On December 31, 2020, the Company listed on the TSXV as a Tier 2 Mining Issuer and began trading on the TSXV under the stock symbol “GMTN.v”.
On December 23, 2020, the Company completed the three-cornered amalgamation (“Qualifying Transaction”) between the Company, its wholly owned subsidiary, 1262975 B.C. Ltd. (“975 B.C.”), and Bayshore Minerals Incorporated (“Bayshore”), under which 975 B.C. amalgamated with Bayshore and Bayshore became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. For accounting purposes, the amalgamation and acquisition constituted a reverse takeover (“RTO”) (Note 3) whereby Bayshore is identified as the acquirer of GMTN. The consolidated financial statements for the year ended January 31, 2021 include the results of operations of Bayshore from February 1, 2020 and GMTN from December 23, 2020, the date of the RTO. The comparative figures are those of Bayshore.
GMTN is a mineral exploration company and is focused on the exploration and development of gold properties.
The registered head office and principal address of the Company is 1285 West Pender Street, Suite 1000, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, V6E 4B1.
Since March 2020, several measures have been implemented in Canada and the rest of the world in response to the increased impact from novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”). The impact of COVID-19 is expected to be long term, and the effects on business operations cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. The Company anticipates this could have an adverse impact on its business, results of operations, financial position and cash flows in future periods.
2. Significant accounting policies and basis of preparation
These consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue by the directors of the Company on May 26, 2021.
Statement of compliance with International Financial Reporting Standards
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IFRS”).
Basis of preparation
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the historical cost basis. The consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars unless otherwise specified.

2. Significant accounting policies and basis of preparation (continued)
Consolidation
The Company’s consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. The subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Company, where control is achieved by the Company being exposed to, or having rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and having the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. The subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is obtained by the Company and are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases. All intercompany transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated on consolidation.
Details of controlled subsidiaries are as follows:
| Functional Currency Country of incorporation |
Percentage owned January 31, 2021 January 31, 2020* 100% 0% 100% 0% 100% 0% |
|---|---|
| Bayshore Minerals Inc. CAD Canada Gold Mountain Mining Corporation (“GMMC”) CAD Canada Gold Mountain Resources Corp.(“GMRC”) CAD Canada |
*Percentage of voting power is in proportion to ownership.
Significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions
The preparation of consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements and the reported revenues and expenses during this 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.
The most significant accounts that require estimates as the basis for determining the stated amounts include the recoverability of evaluation and exploration assets and share-based payments.
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:
-
i) Exploration and evaluation asset The application of the Company’s accounting policy for exploration and evaluation assets requires judgement in the following areas:
-
a) Determination of whether any impairment indicators exist at each reporting date giving consideration to factors such as mining title expiration dates, budgeted expenditures on the Elk Gold Project, discontinuation of activities in any area and evaluation of any data which would indicate that the carrying amount of exploration and evaluation assets is not recoverable; and
-
b) Assessing when the commercial viability and technical feasibility of the project has been determined, at which point the asset is reclassified to development properties.

2. Significant accounting policies and basis of preparation (continued)
Business combinations
Determination of whether a set of assets acquired and liabilities assumed constitute the acquisition of a business or asset may require the Company to make certain judgements as to whether or not the assets acquired and liabilities assumed include the inputs, processes and outputs necessary to constitute a business as defined in IFRS 3 – Business Combinations. Based on an assessment of the relevant facts and circumstances, the Company concluded that the RTO transaction on December 23, 2020 (Note 3) and the acquisition of Elk Gold Mining Corp. (“Elk Mining”) and its subsidiary Gold Mountain Mining Resources Corp. (“GMRC”) on May 16, 2019 (Note 4) did not meet the definition of a business and the transactions have been accounted for as asset acquisitions.
Exploration and evaluation assets
The title to exploration and evaluation assets including mineral properties involves certain inherent risks due to the difficulties of determining the validity of certain claims as well as the potential for problems arising from the historical characteristic of many properties. The Company has investigated title to all its mineral properties, and to the best of its knowledge title to all of its properties are in good standing.
The Company accounts for exploration and evaluation assets in accordance with IFRS 6 – Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral Resources (“IFRS 6”). Once the legal right to explore a property has been acquired, costs directly related to exploration and evaluation are recognized and capitalized, in addition to the acquisition costs. These expenditures include but are not limited to acquiring licenses, researching and analyzing existing exploration data, conducting geological studies, exploration drilling and sampling and payments made to contractors and consultants in connection with the exploration and evaluation of the property. Costs not directly attributable to exploration and evaluation activities, including general administrative overhead costs, are expensed in the year in which they occur.
Acquisition costs incurred in obtaining legal right to explore a mineral property are deferred until the legal right is granted and thereon reclassified to mineral properties. Transaction costs incurred in acquiring an asset are deferred until the transaction is completed and then included in the purchase price of the asset acquired.
When a project is deemed to no longer have commercially viable prospects to the Company, exploration and evaluation expenditures in respect of that project are deemed to be impaired. As a result, those exploration and evaluation expenditure costs, in excess of the estimated recoverable amount, are written off to the statement of loss and comprehensive loss.
The Company assesses exploration and evaluation assets for impairment when facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount of the asset may exceed its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of the asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use.
Once the technical feasibility and commercial viability of extracting the mineral resource has been determined, the property is considered to be a mine under development. Exploration and evaluation assets are also tested for impairment before the assets are transferred to development properties.

2. Significant accounting policies and basis of preparation (continued)
Field equipment
Field equipment is recorded at cost and depreciated over the estimated useful life. Cost includes the purchase price and directly attributable costs to bring the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in a manner intended by management. Where field equipment comprises major components with different useful lives, the components are accounted for as separate items of field equipment.
Depreciation on the field equipment is recognized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of five years. The depreciation method, useful life and residual values are reviewed each financial year end and are adjusted if appropriate.
Impairment of non-financial assets
The carrying amount of the Company’s assets is reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss. An impairment loss is recognized whenever the carrying amount of an asset or its cash generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognized in the statement of loss and comprehensive loss.
The recoverable amount of assets is the greater of an asset’s fair value less cost to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects the current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. For an asset that does not generate cash inflows largely independent of those from other assets, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.
An impairment loss is only reversed if there is an indication that the impairment loss may no longer exist and there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount, however, not to an amount higher than the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized in previous years. Assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortization and are tested annually for impairment.
Share capital
Common shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of common shares and share options are recognized as a deduction from equity, net of any tax effects. The proceeds from the exercise of stock options or warrants together with amounts previously recorded in reserves over the vesting periods are recorded as share capital. Share capital issued for non-monetary consideration is recorded at an amount based on fair value on the date of issue.
Loss per share
Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted loss per share is computed similar to basic loss per share except that the weighted average shares outstanding are increased to include additional shares for the assumed exercise of stock options and warrants, if dilutive. The number of additional shares is calculated by assuming that outstanding stock options and warrants were exercised and that the proceeds from such exercise were used to acquire common shares at the average market price during the reporting period.

Valuation of equity units issued in private placements
The Company has adopted a relative fair value method with respect to the measurement of shares and warrants issued as private placement units. The relative fair value of warrants is determined using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model and is recorded separately under warrant reserve within shareholders’ equity.
Share-Based Payments
Share-based payments to employees are measured at the fair value of the instruments issued and recognized over the vesting periods. Share-based payments to non-employees are measured at the fair value of goods or services received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, if it is determined the fair value of the goods or services cannot be reliably measured and are recorded at the date the goods or services are received.
The fair value of options granted is measured at the grant date, and each tranche is recognized using the graded vesting method over the period during which the options vest. The fair value of the options granted is measured using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the options were granted. At each reporting date, the amount recognized as an expense is adjusted to reflect the actual number of share options that are expected to vest. The fair value of the options is charged to share-based payments, with the offset credit to contributed surplus over the vesting period. If and when the stock options are exercised, the applicable amounts from contributed surplus are transferred to share capital. When vested options are forfeited or are not exercised at the expiry date, the amount previously recognized remains in contributed surplus. The Company estimates a forfeiture rate and adjusts the corresponding expense each period based on an updated forfeiture estimate.
The Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model used by the Company to determine fair values of options and similar financial instruments requires the input of highly subjective assumptions including expected future stock volatility and expected time until exercise. Changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate.
Where the terms and conditions of options are modified before they vest, the increase in the fair value of the options, measured immediately before and after the modification, is also charged to profit or loss over the remaining vesting period.
The Company intends to settle Restricted Share Units (“RSUs”) and Performance Share Units (“PSUs”) in equity. Compensation expense is recognized based on the share price of the Company’s common shares on the grant date multiplied by the number of RSUs expected to vest and recognized ratably over the vesting period, with a corresponding credit to contributed surplus. Adjustments to the number of RSUs expected to vest are recognized in the current period.

Financial instruments
(i) Classification
The Company classifies its financial instruments in the following categories: at fair value through profit and loss (“FVTPL”), at fair value through other comprehensive income (loss) (“FVTOCI”) or at amortized cost. The Company determines the classification of financial assets at initial recognition. The classification of debt instruments is driven by the Company’s business model for managing the financial assets and their contractual cash flow characteristics. Equity instruments that are held for trading are classified as FVTPL. For other equity instruments, on the day of acquisition the Company can make an irrevocable election (on an instrument-by-instrument basis) to designate them as FVTOCI. Financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost, unless they are required to be measured at FVTPL (such as instruments held for trading or derivatives) or if the Company has opted to measure them at FVTPL.
The following table shows the classification under IFRS 9:

(ii) Measurement
Financial assets and liabilities at amortized cost
Financial assets and liabilities at amortized cost are initially recognized at fair value plus or minus transaction costs, respectively, and subsequently carried at amortized cost less any impairment.
Financial assets and liabilities at FVTPL
Financial assets and liabilities carried at FVTPL are initially recorded at fair value and transaction costs are expensed in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss. Realized and unrealized gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of the financial assets and liabilities held at FVTPL are included in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss in the period in which they arise.
Debt investments at FVTOCI
These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Interest income calculated using the effective interest method, foreign exchange gains and losses and impairment are recognized in profit or loss. Other net gains and losses are recognized in other comprehensive income (“OCI”). On derecognition, gains and losses accumulated in OCI are reclassified to profit or loss.
Equity investments at FVTOCI
These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Dividends are recognized as income in profit or loss unless the dividend clearly represents a recovery of part of the cost of the investment. Other net gains and losses are recognized in OCI and are never reclassified to profit or loss.

Financial instruments (continued)
(iii) Impairment of financial assets at amortized cost
The Company recognizes a loss allowance for expected credit losses on financial assets that are measured at amortized cost. At each reporting date, the Company measures the loss allowance for the financial asset at an amount equal to the lifetime expected credit losses if the credit risk on the financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition. If at the reporting date, the financial asset has not increased significantly since initial recognition, the Company measures the loss allowance for the financial asset at an amount equal to the twelve-month expected credit losses. The Company shall recognize in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss, as an impairment gain or loss, the amount of expected credit losses (or reversal) that is required to adjust the loss allowance at the reporting date to the amount that is required to be recognized.
(iv) Derecognition
Financial assets
The Company derecognizes financial assets only when the contractual rights to cash flows from the financial assets expire, or when it transfers the financial assets and substantially all of the associated risks and rewards of ownership to another entity. Gains and losses on derecognition are generally recognized in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss.
Financial liabilities
The Company derecognizes a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged or cancelled or expired. The Company also derecognizes financial liability when the terms of the liability are modified such that the terms and/or cash flows of the modified instrument are substantially different, in which case a new financial liability based on the modified terms is recognized at fair value.
Gains and losses on derecognition are generally recognized in profit and loss.
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 statement of 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 a 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.

Income taxes
Current income tax:
Current income tax assets and liabilities for the current period are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted, at the reporting date, in the countries where the Company operates and generates taxable income. Current income tax relating to items recognized directly in other comprehensive income or equity is recognized in other comprehensive income or equity and not in profit or loss. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in the tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulations are subject to interpretation and establishes provisions where appropriate.
Deferred income tax:
Deferred tax is accounted for using the statement of financial position liability method, providing for temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred taxes are not recognized for temporary differences related to the initial recognition of the assets or liabilities that affect neither accounting nor taxable profit nor investments in subsidiaries, associates and interests in joint ventures to the extent it is probable that they will not reverse in the foreseeable future. The amount of deferred tax provided is based on the expected manner and expected date of realization or settlement of the carrying amount of assets and liabilities, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the statement of financial position date. A deferred tax asset is recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available against which the asset can be utilized.
New IFRS pronouncements
Amendments to IAS 16 – Property, plant and equipment: Proceeds before intended use
In May 2020, the International Accounting Standards Board issued amendments to IAS 16, Property, Plant and Equipment (IAS 16). The amendments prohibit a company from deducting from the cost of property, plant and equipment amounts received from selling items produced while the company is preparing the asset for its intended use. Instead, a company will recognize such sales proceeds and related costs in profit (loss). An entity is required to apply these amendments for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2022. The amendments are applied retrospectively only to items of property, plant and equipment that are available for use after the beginning of the earliest period presented in the financial statements in which the entity first applies the amendments. We are currently assessing the effect of this amendment on our financial statements. We expect this amendment to have an effect on the accounting related to the sale of products during the commissioning phase of the Elk Gold Project.

3. Reverse takeover
On December 23, 2020, the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Bayshore. As a result of this acquisition, the shareholders of Bayshore obtained control of the Company through the acquisition of approximately 75.56% of the common shares of the combined entity and the transaction has been accounted for as a reverse takeover (“RTO”).
Accordingly, for accounting purposes, Bayshore has been treated as the accounting parent company (legal subsidiary) and the Company has been treated as the accounting subsidiary (legal parent) in these consolidated financial statements. As Bayshore was deemed to be the acquirer for accounting purposes, its assets, liabilities and operations since incorporation are included in these consolidated financial statements at their historical carrying value. The Company’s results of operations have been included from December 23, 2020, the date of the RTO.
The RTO has been accounted for as a share-based payment transaction on the basis that GMTN was a Capital Pool Company and did not meet the definition of a business, as defined in IFRS 3, Business Combination, as it had no ongoing business operations. For purposes of this RTO transaction, the purchase price consideration paid was $5,152,269 and the amount received was the fair value of the net assets acquired of the Company, which on December 23, 2020 was $524,046. These amounts were calculated as follows:
==> picture [437 x 76] intentionally omitted <==
| Cash | $ 307,027 |
|---|---|
| Receivables | 505,087 |
| Accounts payable and accrued liabilities | (288,068) |
| Net assets acquired | 524,046 |
| Consideration paid in excess of net asset acquired | 4,628,223 |
| Other listing expense | 170,325 |
| Total listing expense | $ 4,798,548 |
The fair value of the 300,000 share agents’ warrants deemed issued ($122,067) was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Weighted average assumptions used in the pricing model were as follows: risk-free interest rate of 0.19%; an expected life of 1.48 years, volatility of 175.9%, and expected dividends of nil.
The fair value of the 250,000 options deemed granted ($108,202) was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Weighted average assumptions used in the pricing model were as follows: risk-free interest rate of 0.31%; an expected life of 3.09 years, volatility of 168.31%, and expected dividends of nil.

4. Acquisitions
On May 16, 2019, pursuant to a share purchase agreement, the Company acquired from Equinox Gold Corp (“Equinox”) all of the shares of Elk Mining, and its subsidiary GMRC, which was the owner of the Elk Gold Project in British Columbia, Canada, for total consideration of $10,000,000 as follows:
-
Cash of $1,000,000 paid at the closing date;
-
A secured promissory note for $9,000,000 payable in annual installments of $3,000,000 commencing two years from closing. The fair value of the promissory note was $5,527,813, calculated by discounting the future cash payments at a market rate of interest (Note 12).
At the transaction date, the Company determined that acquisition of Elk Mining and GMRC did not constitute a business as defined under IFRS, Business Combinations, and the transaction was accounted for as an asset acquisition. The excess of the consideration paid over the fair value of the net liabilities was attributed to the exploration and evaluation asset.
Year ended January 31, 2020

(ii) Restricted Share Units (RSUs)
The Company intends to settle RSUs in equity and may be granted to directors, consultants, officers and employees of the Company.

16. Capital management
The Company defines its capital as both debt and shareholders’ equity. 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 management to sustain future development of the business. As such, the Company expects to rely 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.
17. Financial instruments
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, receivables excluding GST receivables, reclamation deposits, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, short-term loans and promissory note. The carrying values of cash, receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and short-term loans approximate their fair value because of their relatively short-term nature on the instruments. The promissory note and reclamation deposits are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method and the carrying value approximates the fair value. These estimates are subjective and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumption could significantly affect the estimates.

17. Financial instruments (continued)
There are three levels of the fair value hierarchy as follows:
-
Level 1: Values based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities.
-
Level 2: Values based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or model inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
-
Level 3: Values based on prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.
The Company is exposed in varying degrees to a variety of financial instrument related risks. The Board of Directors approves and monitors the risk management processes, inclusive of documented investment policies, counterparty limits, and controlling and reporting structures. The type of risk exposure and the way in which such exposure is managed is summarized as follows:
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will fail to discharge an obligation and cause the other party to incur a financial loss. The Company’s primary exposure to credit risk is on its cash held in bank accounts. The majority of cash is deposited in bank accounts at a major bank in Canada. As most of the Company’s cash are held by one bank there is a concentration of credit risk. This risk is managed by using major banks that are high credit quality financial institutions as determined by rating agencies.
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 has a planning and budgeting process in place to help determine the funds required to support the Company’s normal operating requirements on an ongoing basis. The Company aims to have sufficient funds to meet its short-term business requirements, taking into account its anticipated cash flows from its ability to raise equity capital or borrowing sufficient funds and its holdings of cash.
Historically, the Company’s principal source of funding has been the issuance of equity securities for cash, primarily through private placements. The Company’s access to financing is always uncertain. There can be no assurance of continued access to necessary levels of equity funding.
Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company is not exposed to significant interest rate risks.
Foreign exchange risk
The Company’s functional and reporting currency is the Canadian dollar and major purchases are transacted in Canadian dollars. As a result, the Company’s exposure to foreign currency risk is minimal.

18. Commitments
On January 26, 2021, the Company entered into an Ore Purchase Agreement (“OPA”) with New Gold Inc. (“New Gold”) for a three-year term. Under the terms of the OPA, GMTN will deliver 70,000 tonnes of ore per annum, approximately 200 tonnes per day, to the mill located at New Gold’s New Afton Mine situated 130km from the Elk Gold Project, in Kamloops British Columbia.
The OPA is effective upon the first delivery of ore to the New Afton Mine. Prior to the first delivery of ore, the parties must settle on a sampling procedure for tracking the tonnes and grade delivered, GMTN must receive the Joint Permit Amendment Application and New Gold must obtain a permit amendment to allow for the processing to occur.
