GR SILVER MINING LTD. NOTES TO THE CONDENSED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2020 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN

GR Silver Mining Ltd. (the “Company” or “GR Silver”) was incorporated on November 8, 2012 under the laws of British Columbia. The Company’s head office address is 900 – 999 West Hastings Street, Vancouver, BC, V6C 2W2. The Company’s registered and records office is Suite 1100 – 736 Granville Street, Vancouver, B.C. V6Z 1G3. To date, the Company has not earned operating revenue. The Company trades on the TSX Venture Exchange (TSX-V) under the trading system GRSL.

As at June 30, 2020, the Company has a working capital of $7,656,065 and an accumulated deficit of $13,868,942. The Company expects to incur further losses in the development of its operations. The Company's ability to continue its operations and to realize its assets at their carrying values is dependent upon obtaining additional financing and generating revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs. These material uncertainties may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

The Company is in the process of acquiring and exploring exploration and evaluation assets and has not yet determined whether the properties contain reserves that are economically recoverable. The recoverability of the amounts shown for exploration and evaluation assets are dependent upon the existence of economically recoverable reserves, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing to complete the development of those reserves and upon future profitable production.

These consolidated financial statements do not give effect to any adjustments which would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern and thus be required to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in other than the normal course of business and at amounts different from those reflected in these financial statements.

In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic has created a dramatic slowdown in the global economy. The duration of the COVID-19 outbreak and the resultant travel restrictions, social distancing, Government response actions, business closures and business disruptions, can all have an impact on the Company’s operations and access to capital. There can be no assurance that the Company will not be further impacted by adverse consequences that may be brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic on global financial markets which may reduce resource prices, share prices and financial liquidity and thereby severely limit the financing capital available in the mineral exploration sector.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of presentation

The Board of Directors of the Company approved the condensed interim consolidated financial statements on August 25, 2020.

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) applicable to the preparation of interim financial statements, including International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) 34, “Interim Financial Reporting”. The condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not include all note disclosures required by IFRS for annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019, which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows have been included. Operating results for the six-month period ended June 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2020.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d…)

The Company consolidates its subsidiaries on the basis that it controls the subsidiaries through its ability to govern its financial and operating policies. All intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated on consolidation.

New standards and interpretations adopted

Certain new standards, interpretations, amendments and improvements to existing standards were issued by IASB or IFRIC that are mandatory for future accounting periods. The following have been adopted by the Company:

  • New Interpretation IFRIC 23 - Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments : On June 7, 2017, the IASB issued IFRIC Interpretation 23 – Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments (“IFRIC 23”). IFRIC 23 provides guidance on the accounting for current and deferred tax liabilities and assets in circumstances in which there is uncertainty over income tax treatments.

15. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT

Fair value estimates of financial instruments are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant information about financial markets and specific financial instruments. As these estimates are subjective in nature, involving uncertainties and matters of significant judgment, they cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions can significantly affect estimated fair values.

Financial instruments measured at fair value are classified into one of three levels in the fair value hierarchy according to the relative reliability of the inputs used to estimate the fair values. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are:

  • Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

  • Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly; and

  • Level 3 – Inputs that are not based on observable market data

The fair value of cash is measured at Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. The carrying value of receivables and value added tax and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair value because of the shortterm nature of these instruments.

Financial risk factors

The Company’s risk exposures and the impact on the Company’s financial instruments are summarized below:

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of loss associated with a counterparty’s inability to fulfill its payment obligations. The Company’s credit risk is primarily attributable to cash, receivables and value added tax. Management believes that the credit risk concentration with respect to financial instruments included in receivables is remote and has deposited cash in high credit quality financial institutions. Credit risk with respect to value added taxes is considered to be low as they are due from a government agency. Value added taxes are subject to review and potential adjustment by taxation authorities.

GR SILVER MINING LTD. NOTES TO THE CONDENSED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2020 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

15. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT (cont’d…)

Liquidity risk

As of June 30, 2020, the Company had cash balance of $8,452,397 to settle current liabilities of $1,191,971 and has significant expenditure requirements pursuant to option agreements (Note 8). The Company is exposed to liquidity risk.

Market risk

Market risk is the risk of loss that may arise from changes in market factors such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and commodity and equity prices.

Interest rate risk

The Company has cash balances and no interest-bearing debt. The Company’s current policy is to invest excess cash in investment-grade demand investments issued by its banking institutions. The Company periodically monitors the investments it makes and is satisfied with the credit ratings of its banks.

Foreign currency risk

The Company is exposed to foreign currency risk on fluctuations related to assets and liabilities that are denominated in foreign currency. Amounts exposed to foreign currency risk include cash of MX$4,759,610 as of June 30, 2020 and accounts payable of MX$8,369,118. A 10% change in foreign exchange rates will affect profit or loss by less than $23,000.

Price risk

The Company is exposed to price risk with respect to commodity and equity prices. Equity price risk is defined as the potential adverse impact on the Company’s profit or loss due to movements in individual equity prices or general movements in the level of the stock market. Commodity price risk is defined as the potential adverse impact on profit or loss and economic value due to commodity price movements and volatilities. The Company closely monitors commodity prices, individual equity movements and the stock market to determine the appropriate course of action to be taken by the Company. Fluctuations in value may be significant.

16. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

The Company defines capital that it manages as shareholders’ equity, consisting of issued common shares, stock options and warrants.

The Company manages its capital structure and adjusts it, based on the funds available to the Company, in order to support the acquisition and exploration of exploration and evaluation assets. The Board of Directors does not establish quantitative return on capital criteria for management, but rather relies on the expertise of the Company’s management to sustain future development of the business.

The Company has historically relied on the equity markets to fund its activities. The Company will continue to assess new properties and seek to acquire an interest in additional properties if it feels there is sufficient 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. The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital restrictions. There were no changes to the Company’s approach to capital management during the year.
