GOLD X MINING CORP.
Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements Three Months Ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 (Unaudited) (Expressed in Canadian Dollars)
1. Corporate Information and Going Concern
Gold X Mining Corp. (“Gold X” or the “Company”) is a resource exploration company, incorporated in Canada on September 20, 2006 and continued into the province of British Columbia in November 2019. The Company’s principal place of business is located at Suite 3123 – 595 Burrard Street, Vancouver, BC Canada V7X 1J1 and its registered address is located at 2200 – 885 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, BC V6C 3E8. Gold X is focused on the exploration for, and resource expansion of gold and related minerals in Guyana. In March 2021, the Company entered in an acquisition arrangement agreement with Gran Colombia Gold Corporation (“Gran Colombia”) whereby Gran Colombia will acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Company (Note 16).
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates that the Company will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.
At March 31, 2021, the Company had working capital of $7,796,685 (December 31, 2020: $10,179,845), an accumulated deficit of $198,105,373 (December 31, 2020: $192,909,339), incurred losses during the three months ended March 31, 2021 amounting to $5,196,034 (2020: $722,366), and used cash in operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2021 of $3,663,795 (2020: $1,434,402). Although the Company has been successful in the past obtaining financing, there is no assurance that it will be able to obtain adequate financing or that such financing will be on terms that are acceptable to the Company. As at March 31, 2021, management determined the existence of material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not reflect adjustments to the carrying values and classification of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern, and such adjustments could be material.
The Company’s principal asset is the Toroparu Project and this project was primarily subject to the Upper Puruni Agreement (Note 8). At the end of 2019, in conjunction with a debenture financing for US$20,000,000, the Company exercised its right to purchase Mr. Alphonso’s interest in the Upper Puruni Agreement, which was completed in March 2020. The debenture financing consisted of a 10% secured convertible debentures due December 2022, which were settled in July 2020 (Note 10).
In November 2013, the Company entered into a precious metals purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Silver Wheaton (Caymans) Ltd., who subsequently changed its name to Wheaton Precious Metals (Caymans) Ltd. (“Wheaton”). Under this Purchase Agreement, Wheaton will pay Gold X incremental up‐front cash payments totaling US$153.5 million for 10% of the payable gold production and 50% of the silver production from the Company’s Toroparu Project in Upper Puruni, Guyana (the “Toroparu Project”). Gold X has received initial draw downs of US$15.5 million of the cash payment, used primarily for advancement of the final feasibility study for the Toroparu Project.

1. Corporate Information and Going Concern (Continued)
Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, as amended, the Company is required to complete a final feasibility study for its Toroparu Project before December 31, 2021, upon receipt of which, Wheaton can elect to proceed and pay the balance of the US$138 million owed under the Purchase Agreement to finance construction of the Toroparu Project, or can elect to terminate the Purchase Agreement and convert the portion of the deposit already paid less US$2 million into debt of the Company that will become due and payable in whole or in part upon the occurrence of certain events including, but not limited to, a “change of control” of the Company or the Company obtaining certain levels of debt or equity financing. The Company’s ability to finance activities is dependent on whether Wheaton elects to proceed after completion of the feasibility study, as well as on the Company’s ability to raise additional equity financing to fund ongoing activities, including the portion of project construction not financed by Wheaton. There are no assurances that Wheaton will elect to fund construction of the Toroparu Project, or that the Company will be successful in raising equity financing at all or, if available, on terms acceptable to the Company.
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. To date, COVID‐19 has not had any significant impact on the Company’s operations. 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 ability to raise funds.
2. Basis of Presentation

3. Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Consolidation
These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly‐owned subsidiaries as at March 31, 2021; Sandspring Resources (USA) Ltd. (“Gold X USA”), Goldheart Investment Holdings Ltd. (“GoldHeart”), and ETK Inc. (“ETK”). Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date of acquisition, being the date on which the Company obtains control, and continue to be consolidated until the date that such control ceases. All inter‐company transactions and balances are eliminated in full.
On August 28, 2020, the Company sold its interest in Industrias Argentum S.A.S. (“Argentum”) and Arcadian Minerals Corporation (“Arcadian”) for $1,000,000 (Note 8). The Company ceased control of these entities as at the date of sale.
On December 2, 2020, the Company amalgamated with GA Mine Corp. (“GA Mines”). GA Mines was a wholly‐ owned subsidiary of the Company prior to the amalgamation.
Change in Accounting Policies
Certain new standards, interpretations, amendments and improvements to existing standards were issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) or International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC). There are no new standards which the Company reasonably expects are applicable to the Company and will materially impact the Company.
4. Restricted Cash
Restricted cash consists of $174,320 (December 31, 2020: $176,497) held as security for performance bonds in favor of the Guyana Geology and Mines Commission ($162,266) and the Guyana Customs and Trade Administration ($12,054).
5. Capital Management
The Company manages its capital to ensure that funds are available or are scheduled to be raised to provide adequate funds to carry out the Company’s defined exploration programs and to meet its ongoing administrative costs. The Company considers its capital to be total shareholders’ equity (managed capital) which, at March 31, 2021, totaled $43,966,400 (December 31, 2020: $46,358,157). The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.
This capital management is achieved by the Board of Directors’ review and acceptance of exploration budgets that are achievable using existing capital resources and the timely matching and release of the next stage of expenditures with the resources made available from private placements or other fundraising.
The Company’s capital management objectives, policies and processes remained unchanged during the three months ended March 31, 2021.

6. Financial Instruments
The Company’s activities potentially expose it to a variety of financial risks including credit risk, liquidity risk, and currency risk.
Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if the counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligation. Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit risk consist of cash and restricted cash. The maximum credit risk represented by the Company’s financial assets is represented by their carrying amounts. The Company holds its cash and restricted cash with reputable financial institutions, from which management believes the risk of loss to be minimal.
Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not have sufficient cash resources to meet its financial obligations as they come due. The Company’s liquidity and operating results may be adversely affected if its access to the capital market is hindered whether as a result of a downturn in stock market conditions generally or as a result of conditions specific to the Company. The Company generates cash primarily through its financing activities. At March 31, 2021, the Company had cash of $8,700,703 (December 31, 2020: $10,374,816) to settle current liabilities of $1,337,401 (December 31, 2020: $803,695). The Company regularly evaluates its cash position to ensure preservation and security of capital as well as maintenance of liquidity (Note 1).
Currency Risk
The Company’s functional currency is the Canadian dollar and major purchases including acquisitions and financings are generally transacted in Canadian dollars. The Company funds certain operations, exploration and administrative expenses in Guyana on a cash call basis using U.S. dollar currency and maintains U.S. dollar and Guyanese dollar bank accounts. The Company is subject to gains and losses from fluctuations in the U.S. dollar and Guyanese dollar against the Canadian dollar.
The following table summarizes, in Canadian dollar equivalents, the Company’s major foreign currency exposures to the U.S. dollar as at March 31, 2021. The Company manages its U.S. dollar currency risk by maintaining resources in its U.S. dollar bank accounts sufficient to meet its U.S. dollar operational requirements. The Company’s exposure to the currency risk of Guyanese dollars is not material.

8. Mineral Properties Under Exploration
Colombia
In August 2020, the Company sold its 100% interest in Arcadian and Argentum for proceeds of $1,000,000.
Guyana
The Company has held mineral exploration concessions in the Upper Puruni River Area of northwestern Guyana, South America, referred to as the “Toroparu Property”. The Toroparu Property consists of certain small scale claims, medium scale prospecting permits (“PPMSs”), medium scale mining permits (“MPs”) and prospecting licenses (“PLs”). The Toroparu Property is held and operated through ETK, the Company’s wholly‐owned subsidiary.
In November 2011, the Company executed a mineral agreement with the Government of Guyana that stipulates a royalty of 8% on gold (1.5% on copper) produced from its mineral claims payable in cash or in kind to the Government of Guyana.
Upper Puruni Agreement
The Upper Puruni Agreement stipulates that ETK is the sole operator and has sole decision‐making discretion in all matters related to the conduct of prospecting, exploration, development activities, and mining activities for the recovery of gold or other metals, minerals or gemstones from the lands. The original Upper Puruni Agreement provided that ETK would commence commercial production, defined as production of 50,000 ounces of gold per year, beginning on January 1, 2013, or in lieu thereof, pay Mr. Alphonso an annual sum of the Guyana dollar equivalent of US$250,000 until commercial production has commenced. The Company has made all annual payments from January 2013 through December 31, 2019.
In November 2013, the Company agreed to an amendment of the Upper Puruni Agreement. The agreement previously stated that in the event ETK had not achieved commercial production by January 1, 2017, Mr. Alphonso had the right to declare a default under the terms of the agreement. The agreement was amended to extend the deadline for achieving commercial production by three years, to January 1, 2020. As consideration for the extension, ETK paid Mr. Alphonso the Guyana Dollar equivalent of the sum of US$1,000,000 ($1,363,700) in December 2018.
The Upper Puruni Agreement also gave ETK the option of purchasing all of Mr. Alphonso’s interest in the Toroparu Property, except his right to continue to conduct alluvial mining on the property, for US$20 million (the ‘Purchase Option’). In November 2019, the Company exercised its right to purchase Mr. Alphonso’s interest in the Upper Puruni Agreement, paid the US$20 million ($27,636,600) in March 2020; and paid the balance of US$238,095 ($337,783) in December 2020 as a result of foreign exchange settlement of the payment.

B.M. Mining Agreement
In October 2017, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary ETK, executed a final joint venture agreement (the “B.M. Mining Agreement”) with B.M. Mining Company (“B.M. Mining”) whereby ETK has the right to explore certain property adjacent to current holdings. As consideration for this right to explore, the Company must make annual payments of US$70,000 in 2018 increasing to US$100,000 in 2020. In November 2019, ETK and B.M. Mining agreed to reduce the 2019 payment of US$90,000 to US$35,000 which was paid in December 2019.
During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company elected not to continue with the B.M. Mining Agreement.
9. Deposit on Gold Purchase Agreement and Deferred Revenue
In 2013, the Company announced that it had entered into a Purchase Agreement with Wheaton under which Wheaton would pay the Company upfront cash payments totaling US$148.5 million for 10% of the payable gold production from the Company’s Toroparu Project. In addition, Wheaton will make ongoing payments to the Company of the lesser of the market price and US$400 per payable ounce of gold delivered to Wheaton over the life of the Toroparu Project, subject to a 1% annual increase starting after the third year of production.
The Company received an initial advance of US$13.5 million of the cash payment in December 2013 to be used primarily for advancement of the final feasibility study for the Toroparu Project. The advance has been recorded as deferred revenue.
In April 2015, the Company amended the Purchase Agreement to include a silver stream under which Wheaton will pay Gold X incremental up‐front cash payments totaling US$5.0 million for 50% of the payable silver production from the Toroparu Project, bringing the total contemplated payment from Wheaton to US$153.5 million. In addition, Wheaton will make ongoing payments to the Company of the lesser of the market price and US$3.90 per payable ounce of silver delivered to Wheaton over the life of the Toroparu Project, subject to a 1% annual increase starting on the fourth anniversary of production. The Company received US$2.0 million of the incremental US$5.0 million cash payment in four equal installments over the course of 2015, with the remainder of payments to be received in installments during construction of the Toroparu Project.
Receipt of the remaining US$138 million is subject to Wheaton’s election to proceed and is expected to be received in installments during construction of the Toroparu Project once all necessary mining licenses have been obtained and conditions pertaining to final feasibility, the availability of project capital finance, the granting of security to Wheaton and other customary conditions are satisfied. If the feasibility study has not been delivered by December 31, 2021, or Wheaton elects not to proceed after receiving the feasibility study, Wheaton may elect (a) not to pay the balance of the deposit and to reduce the gold stream percentage from 10% to 0.909% and the silver stream percentage from 50% to nil, or (b) not to proceed with the streaming transaction and to convert the portion of the deposit already paid less US$2 million into debt of the Company that will become due and payable in whole or in part upon the occurrence of certain events including, but not limited to, a “change of control” of the Company or the Company obtaining certain levels of debt or equity

financing. If Wheaton elects to reduce the streams, the Company may return the amount of the deposit already advanced less US$2 million to Wheaton and terminate the agreement. In the event the Company does not deliver sufficient gold and silver to repay the total balance of the deposit, the Company will be required to pay any remaining balance in cash.
10. Convertible Debenture Financing
In December 2019, the Company issued US$20,000,000 ($26,314,000) in 10% secured convertible debentures with a maturity of December 23, 2022 (the “Debentures”). Each Debenture was convertible, in whole or in part, at the option of the holder into the number of common shares of the Company where the amount to be converted to Canadian dollars using the daily representative rate of exchange as published by the Bank of Canada on the business day prior to conversion divided by $3.20 (the "Conversion Price"), which is subject to customary adjustments. The interest on the Debentures was compounded semi‐annually and payable annually. Interest was payable in shares at the option of the holder, where the interest payable is converted to Canadian dollars using the daily representative rate of exchange as published by the Bank of Canada on the business day prior to conversion divided by the current market price of the Company’s common shares. If the holder does not elect to receive interest in shares, then the Company had the right to settle the interest payment in cash or defer the payment, with interest to maturity. The Company had the option to prepay the debt at any time, however, the Debenture holders will have an option on notice of prepayment to elect to convert to shares prior to prepayment. The convertible debentures were secured by the Company interest in the Toroparu Project. The proceeds of the financing have been used by the Company solely for exercising the Purchase Option, through the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, ETK Inc. to acquire 100% of the interest in and to the Company's Toroparu Project in Guyana, South America, held by Mr. Alfro Alphonso pursuant to a joint venture agreement between Mr. Alphonso and ETK (Note 8). Assets that were pledged as security for the convertible debentures were all present and future assets, property and undertakings of the Company, including, without limitation, the Toroparu Project and the assets acquired by the Company in connection with the Purchase Option but excluding the Chicharron Project, and any and all proceeds of the foregoing.
In March 2020, the Company closed the transaction to purchase the 100% interest in the Toroparu Project and the cash held in escrow was paid to Mr. Alphonso.
Wheaton subscribed for Debentures in the principal amount of US$10,000,000 and Gran Colombia subscribed for Debentures in the principal amount of US$5,000,000. The remaining Debentures in the aggregate principal amount of US$5,000,000 ($6,529,500) were subscribed to by other investors.
In July 2020, the Company retired its US$20,000,000 convertible debenture through issuing 8,479,368 common shares to satisfy the conversion of the US$20,000,000 principal amount. The Company settled accrued interest of $1,478,384 at the conversion date by issuing 455,253 common shares.
The convertible debentures were a financial liability and were designated as FVTPL. As such, the convertible debentures were recorded at fair value at inception, being equal to the principal received and were subsequently remeasured with the change in fair value being recognized in the statement of operations and comprehensive loss. The fair value of the convertible debentures at inception of US$20,000,000 was determined

using the Cox Ross Rubenstein binomial tree model and level 2 fair value inputs that capture all the features of the convertible debentures including the early redemption option, share price volatility of 43.11%, Canadian dollar risk free rate of 2.03%, US dollar risk free rate of 1.67%, dividend yield of 0% and credit spread of 7.5%. The loss on the settlement of convertible debentures of $5,143,381 recognized in the statement of operations and comprehensive loss during the year ended December 31, 2020 is based on the fair value of shares issued to settle the financial liability.
During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company recorded $670,708 of interest expense which has been included in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss.

11. Share Capital
The Company is authorized to issue an unlimited amount of common shares. The common shares do not have a par value.
As at March 31, 2021, the Company had a total of 53,862,288 common shares issued and outstanding.
In April 2020, the Company completed a private placement for gross proceeds of $2,499,999 through the issuance of 2,631,578 units where each unit consisted of one common share and one share purchase warrant entitling the holder to acquire one additional common share at a price of $1.30 until April 9, 2023. The warrants issued in connection with the financing were allocated a value of $886,693 on a relative fair value basis. The fair value of the warrants was determined using the Black Scholes valuation model with the following assumptions: i) expected share price volatility of 75%; ii) risk free interest rate of 0.41%; iii) dividend yield of $nil; and iv) expected life of 3 years.
Cash transaction costs of $9,941 were incurred as share issue costs related to the April 2020 private placement of which $6,415 and $3,526 were deducted from share capital and reserves respectively, based on the pro rata allocation of the fair value on issuance of the units to share capital and reserves.

16. Gran Colombia Acquisition Arrangement
The Company and Gran Colombia entered into a definitive acquisition arrangement agreement dated March 14, 2021 (the “Agreement”) pursuant to which Gran Colombia will acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Company (the “Gold X Shares”) not already owned by Gran Colombia by way of a statutory plan of arrangement (the “Acquisition Arrangement”) under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia).
Under the terms of the Agreement, all of the issued and outstanding Gold X Shares will be acquired by Gran Colombia in exchange for Gran Colombia common shares (the “Gran Colombia Shares”) on the basis of 0.6948 of a Gran Colombia Share for each Gold X Share (the “Exchange Ratio”). The Exchange Ratio implies consideration of $4.10 per Gold X Share based on the 20‐day volume weighted average price of the Gran Colombia Shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange as of the market close on March 12, 2021 (the “Value Date”) for total consideration of approximately $315 million on a 100% and fully diluted in‐the‐money basis. The Exchange Ratio represents a premium of 39% based on the closing price of the Gold X Shares on the TSX Venture Exchange (the “TSXV”) on the Value Date and a 44% premium based on the 20‐day volume weighted average price of the Gold X Shares ending on the Value Date.
Completion of the Acquisition Arrangement is subject to shareholder approval, receipt of court and stock exchange approvals, the approval of a simple majority of the shareholders of Gran Colombia to the issuance of the Gran Colombia Shares and other customary closing conditions for transactions of this nature.
