LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Goldshore Resources has no operations that generate cash flows and the Company’s future financial success will depend on the discovery of one or more economic mineral deposits. This process can take years, can consume significant resources and is largely based on factors that are beyond the control of the Company’s management.
For the foreseeable future the Company will continue to rely upon its ability to raise financing through the sale of equity. This will be dependent on the Company identifying suitable projects that will attract investors. Which will also require a general positive investor sentiment, which in turn will be influenced by a positive climate for precious metals exploration, a Company’s track record and the experience and calibre of the Company’s management, as well as global economic outlook.

On June 1, 2021, the Company completed the previously announced reverse takeover transaction with a company formerly named Goldshore Resources Inc. (“Former Goldshore”) and commenced trading on the TSX-V on June 4, 2021 under the ticker symbol “GSHR”.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY
The critical judgements and estimates that management has made in the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies and that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2021 are as follows:
Going concern
The assessment of the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and to raise sufficient funds to pay for its ongoing operating expenditures and meet its liabilities for the ensuing year involves significant judgment based on historical experience and other factors, including expectation of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
OUTLOOK
As a result of the private placement closed in August 2020, the Company’s working capital position has improved significantly. The Company entered into an amalgamation agreement with Former Goldshore on January 26, 2021 which has resulted in the reverse take over of the Company by Former Goldshore. Additionally, the Company has completed a subscription receipt financing as outlined in “Proposed “Transactions”.

The Company’s cash is held with a high credit quality financial institution in Canada and as at March 31, 2021, management considers its exposure to credit risk to be low.

OUTSTANDING SHARE DATA
As at the date of this MD&A, the Company had 100,285,296 common shares issued and outstanding, 772,560 Compensation Options outstanding, and no warrants or other securities convertible into common shares outstanding.
The Company has authorized an unlimited number of common shares without par value.
RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
The Company is in the mineral exploration and development business and as such is exposed to a number of risks and uncertainties that are not uncommon to other companies in the same business.
Some of the possible risks include the following:
-
a) The Company currently has no properties nor producing operations and as a consequence, the Company does not generate any operating income or positive cash flow. Its ability to continue as a going concern is entirely dependent upon the Company’s ability to find suitable projects and access public equity markets to raise sufficient capital.
-
b) The only source of future funds to source and acquire projects which may become available to the Company is through the sale of equity capital.
-
c) Any future equity financings by the Company for the purpose of raising additional capital may result in substantial dilution to the holdings of existing shareholders.
-
d) Any future operations of the Company may require added personnel; licenses and permits; and many other potential risks that the Company has no way of determining at this time. As such, there is no assurance that the Company will be successful in obtaining what is required to obtain and operate new activities in the future.
-
e) On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization characterized the outbreak of a strain of the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) as a pandemic which has resulted in a series of public health and emergency measures that have been put in place to combat the spread of the virus. The duration and impact of COVID-19 is unknown at this time, and it is not possible to reliably estimate the impact that the length and severity of these developments will have on the financial results and condition of the Company in future periods, including the possible impact on future financing opportunities.
Should one or more of these risks and uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, then actual results may vary materially from those described in forward-looking statements.
CAUTION REGARDING FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
Some of the statements contained in this MD&A are forward-looking statements, such as estimates and statements that describe the Company’s future plans, objectives or goals, including words to the effect that the Company or management expects a stated condition or result to occur.
Forward-looking statements may be identified by such terms as “believes”, “if”, “expects”, “estimates”, “may”, “could”, “should”, “will”, “intends” and similar expressions. Since forward-looking statements are based on assumptions and address future events and conditions, by their very nature they involve inherent risks and uncertainties.
Although the Company believes that the expectations represented by such forward-looking information or statements are reasonable, there is significant risk that the forward-looking information or statements may not be achieved, and the underlying assumptions thereto will not prove to be accurate. Forward-looking information or statements in this MD&A include, but are not limited to, information or statements concerning the Company’s expectations for results on the Company’s operations; capital costs anticipated; the Company’s current financial resources being sufficient to fund operations; and the Company’s ability to obtain
7
GOLDSHORE RESOURCES INC. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS For the year ended March 31, 2021
additional funds through the sale of equity.
Actual results or events could differ materially from the plans, intentions and expectations expressed or implied in any forward-looking information or statements, including the underlying assumptions thereto, as a result of numerous risks, uncertainties and other factors including: changes in general economic conditions and conditions in the financial markets; litigation, legislative, environmental and other judicial, regulatory, political and competitive developments; technological and operational difficulties encountered in connection with the Company’s activities; and other matters discussed in this MD&A.
This list is not exhaustive of the factors that may affect any of the Company’s forward-looking statements. These and other factors should be considered carefully and readers should not place undue reliance on the Company’s forward-looking statements. Further information regarding these and other factors, which may cause results to differ materially from those projected in forward-looking statements, are included in the filings by the Company with securities regulatory authorities. The Company does not undertake to update any forward-looking statement that may be made from time to time by the Company or on its behalf, except in accordance with applicable securities law.
