Gold Mountain Mining Corp. (formerly Freeform Capital Partners Inc.) Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements For the Three- and Six-Month Periods Ended July 31, 2021 and 2020 (Unaudited - 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 April 15, 2021, the Company’s common shares also began trading on the OTCQB Venture Market under the stock symbol “GMTNF”.
On December 23, 2020, the Company completed the three-cornered amalgamation 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”) whereby Bayshore is identified as the acquirer of GMTN.
GMTN is a mineral exploration and development 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 condensed interim consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue by the directors of the Company on September 29, 2021.
Statement of compliance with International Financial Reporting Standards
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared under International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) in accordance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting, using accounting policies consistent with those accounting policies followed by the Company in the most recent audited annual consolidated financial statements. These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information required for annual audited consolidated financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the annual audited consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended January 31, 2021.
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the historical cost basis. The condensed interim consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars unless otherwise specified.

2. Significant accounting policies and basis of preparation (continued)
New accounting policies adopted in the reporting period
Property and equipment
Other equipment
Items of equipment are initially recognized at cost. As well as the purchase price, cost includes directly attributable costs and the estimated present value of any future costs of dismantling and removing items. All items of equipment are subsequently carried at depreciated cost less impairment loss, if any.
Depreciation is provided on all items of equipment to write off the carrying value of items over their expected useful economic lives. It is applied using the straight-line method using the following useful lives:
Asset category Useful life (years) Field equipment Computer equipment Vehicles
Material residual value estimates and estimates of useful life are updated as required, but at least annually.
Mine construction work-in-progress and mineral property
Costs recorded for assets under construction are capitalized as mine construction work-in-progress. On completion, the cost of construction is transferred to the appropriate category of plant and equipment. No deprecation or depletion is recorded until the assets are substantially complete and available for their intended use.
On the commencement of commercial production, depletion of mineral property will be provided for on a unit-of-production basis using the estimated mineral resources as the depletion base.
Reclamation provision
The Company records a reclamation provision from the legal and constructive obligations to restore exploration, development and mining operations in the period in which the obligation is incurred. When the liability is initially recognized the present value of the estimated costs is capitalized by increasing the carrying amount of the related mineral property asset. The provision is reviewed at each reporting date and all changes to the liability, including changes in discount rate, are recorded as a change to the mineral property asset to which it relates. Over time the discount is unwound through accretion expenses in the statement of comprehensive loss.
Flow-through units
The Company may, from time to time, issue flow-through common shares or units to finance a portion of its Canadian exploration programs. Pursuant to the terms of the flow-through share agreements and the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the “ITA”), these equity instruments transfer the tax deductibility of qualifying resource expenditures to investors.
Upon the issuance of a flow-through share, the Company bifurcates the flow-through share into i) fair value of capital stock issued, based on market price at time of issuance, and ii) the residual as a flow-through share premium, which is recognized as a liability.

2. Significant accounting policies and basis of preparation (continued)
New accounting policies adopted in the reporting period (continued)
Flow-through units (continued)
If a flow-through unit is issued concurrently with the regular unit, the flow-through premium is calculated as the difference in prices of these units.
Upon incurring qualifying expenses, the Company derecognizes the flow-through share premium liability and recognizes a credit to recovery of flow-through share premium. Proceeds received from the issuance of flow-through shares are to be used for Canadian resource property exploration expenditures within a certain time period as prescribed by the Government of Canada’s flow-through regulations, as contained in the ITA. The portion of the proceeds received but not yet expended at the end of the Company’s relevant reporting period is disclosed separately in the notes to the condensed interim consolidated financial statements as flow-through expenditure commitments. The Company is also subject to Part XII.6 of the ITA, which imposes a tax on flow-through proceeds renounced under the “Look-back Rule”, in accordance with the Government of Canada’s flow-through regulations. When applicable, this tax is accrued until paid.
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. The Company adopted the amendments in the current quarter. There was no impact of this amendment on the consolidated financial statements as no incidental revenues were generated in the three- and six-month periods ended July 31, 2021. The Company anticipates an impact in the third quarter of the current fiscal year as production is forecast to commence then.
Amendments to IAS 12 – Income Taxes
In May 2021, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 12, Income Taxes (IAS 12). The amendments will require companies to recognize deferred tax on particular transactions that, on initial recognition, give rise to equal amounts of taxable and deductible temporary differences. The proposed amendments will typically apply to transactions such as leases for the lessee and decommissioning and restoration obligations related to assets in operation. An entity is required to apply these amendments for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023. Early application is permitted. The amendments are applied to transactions that occur on or after the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented. The Company does not expect these amendments to have a material effect on it consolidated financial statements.

3. Management judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty
Significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions
The preparation of condensed interim 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 condensed interim 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 condensed interim consolidated financial statements is the application of the Company’s accounting policy for exploration and evaluation assets, which 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 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 mineral properties.
Determination of technical feasibility and commercial viability of the Elk Gold Property
The application of the Company’s accounting policy for mineral property development costs requires judgment to determine when technical feasibility and commercial viability of the Elk Gold Property was demonstrable. The Company considered the positive National Instrument (“NI”) 43-101 compliant Preliminary Economic Assessment, the receipt of key environmental mine permits and the completion of the financing to fund development as key indicators confirming that technical feasibility and commercial viability of the Elk Gold Property had been established. Accordingly, effective June 1, 2021, the Company commenced capitalization of all direct costs related to the development of the Elk Gold Property, and reclassified capitalized costs from exploration and evaluation assets to property and equipment, and tested for impairment. No impairment was recognized after management concluded that the forecast discounted cash flows valuation of the Elk Gold Property, based on the NI 43-101 compliant Preliminary Economic Assessment, exceeded the carrying value of the project of $12.3 million as at the date of the final investment decision.

6. Property and equipment (continued)
Effective June 1, 2021, the Company commenced capitalization of all direct costs related to the development of the Elk Gold Property, as management determined that the technical feasibility and commercial viability of the project had been established. Accordingly, the Company reclassified capitalized costs associated with the Elk Gold Property from exploration and evaluation asset (Note 7) to mineral property within property and equipment. Capitalized mineral property costs will be carried at cost until the Elk Gold Property is placed in commercial production, sold, abandoned, or determined by management to be impaired in value. Costs related to development work are capitalized in property and equipment as mine construction work-in-progress.
The Company incurred $660,780 on mine development activities in the six-month period ended July 31, 2021.
During the six-month period ended July 31, 2021, other equipment additions comprised of a truck and computer equipment acquired by the Company for an aggregate amount of $73,582.
7. Exploration and evaluation asset
Elk Gold Property
On May 16, 2019, pursuant to the acquisition of Elk Mining and GMRC, the Company acquired the Elk Gold Property in British Columbia, Canada from Equinox Gold Corp. (“Equinox”) for total consideration of $10,000,000 as follows:
-
Cash of $1,000,000 paid at the closing date; and
-
A secured promissory note for $9,000,000 payable in annual installments of $3,000,000 commencing two years from closing (Note 11).
The Elk Gold Property is located near Merritt, British Columbia, Canada within the Similkameen Mining District and consists of 27 contiguous mineral claims and one mining lease. Production from the Elk Gold Property is subject to a 2% net smelter return royalty. A further 1% net smelter return royalty is payable on production from the Agur Option block which is outside of any of the identified mineralized zones.

15. 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 development activities 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.

Gold Mountain Mining Corp. (formerly Freeform Capital Partners Inc.) Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements For the Three- and Six-Month Periods Ended July 31, 2021 and 2020 (Unaudited - Expressed in Canadian Dollars)
Management reviews its capital management approach on an ongoing basis and believes that this approach, given the relative size of the Company, is reasonable.
16. Financial instruments
The following table summarizes the classification of the Company’s financial instruments under IFRS 9:
| Financial Asset/Liability | IFRS 9 Classification |
|---|---|
| Cash | Amortized cost |
| Receivables excluding GST receivables | Amortized cost |
| Reclamation deposits | Amortized cost |
| Accounts payable and accrued liabilities | Amortized cost |
| Short-term loans | Amortized cost |
| Promissorynote | Amortized cost |
The carrying values of cash, receivables, excluding GST receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and short-term loans approximate their fair value because of the relatively short-term nature of the instruments and are measured and reported at amortized cost. The promissory note and reclamation deposits are measured and reported at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. 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.
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 is 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.

16. Financial instruments (continued)
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.
The following table sets forth details of the payment profile of financial liabilities based on their undiscounted cash flows:
==> picture [436 x 112] intentionally omitted <==
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.
17. 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 Property, 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.
