The Corporation is engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties. The Corporation currently has an option to acquire a one hundred percent (100%) undivided interest in the McGill Property, its principal property.

(the “Vendor”), where by the Vendors granted the Corporation an option to acquire a 100% undivided interest in the McGillivray Property. The Corporation is required to pay to the Vendor the aggregate sub of Two Hundred Twelve Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($212,500) which sum includes the deposit of $7,500 which has been paid on the signing of the agreement, and to issue to the Vendor a total of Nine Hundred Thousand (900,000)

Competitive Conditions
The mineral exploration industry is competitive, with many companies competing for the limited number of precious and base metals acquisition and exploration opportunities that are economic under current or foreseeable metals prices, as well as for available investment funds. Competition is also high for the recruitment of qualified personnel and equipment. Significant and increasing competition exists for mineral opportunities in the Province of Québec. There are a number of large established mineral exploration companies in the Val d’Or region with substantial capabilities and greater financial and technical resources than the Corporation.
Government Regulation
Mining operations and exploration activities are subject to various laws and regulations which govern prospecting, development, mining, production, exports, taxes, labour standards, occupational health, waste disposal, protection of the environment, mine safety, hazardous substances and other matters.
Environmental Regulation
The Corporation’s mineral exploration activities are subject to various federal and provincial laws and regulations governing protection of the environment. In general, these laws are amended often and are becoming more restrictive.
Employees
As of the date of this prospectus, the Corporation has no employees. The Corporation’s executive officers are independent contractors of the Corporation.
Trends
There is significant competition for the acquisition of promising properties, as well as for hiring qualified personnel. The Corporation’s competitors may have more substantial financial and technical resources for the acquisition of mineral concessions, claims or mineral interests, as well as for the recruitment and retention of qualified personnel.
The present and future activities of the Corporation may be influenced to some degree by factors such as the availability of capital, governmental regulations, including environmental regulation, territorial claims and security on mining sites. The influence of such factors cannot be predicted.
12
To the knowledge of the Corporation, other than what is described in this prospectus, there is no current trend or event that could reasonably influence, in a significant manner, the activities, financial situation or operating results of the Corporation for the current fiscal year. See “ Risk Factors ”.

The Author has used the Government of British Columbia Mineral Titles online website (MTONLINE) for mineral title information. The Author also has a copy of an agreement dated October 5, 2020, between Homegold Resources Ltd. (Homegold, a corporation owned by Jo T. Shearer) and Prisma Capital Inc. that summarizes the terms of the agreement between them. The claims list in Table 0-1 is based on a search of the BC Government
15
MTONLINE web site (https://www.mtonline.gov.bc.ca/mtov/home.do) on October 11, 2020. The Author has not verified the legal aspects of the ownership of the mineral claims nor the rights granted by the Government of British Columbia.
The Optionor (Shearer/Homegold) will be the initial exploration operator of the Property for year one and two. The Optionor will be directed in the work program by the Optionee (Prisma). The exploration work will be fully funded solely by Prisma.
The claims that are part of the option agreement are listed in Table 0-1 .
The total area of the mineral claims is 3,764.17 hectares, which only define the rights to the subsurface minerals. Two of the claims’ status are listed as GOOD and the rest are listed as PROTECTED. The PROTECTED status is a policy initiated by the government of BC to extend/delay the date of filing any Assessment Work required on many mineral claims due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The date to make cash in lieu or register Assessment Work on claims that have expiry dates before December 31, 2021 is extended to December 31, 2021 and are marked as PROTECTED on Table 0-1 . The 2020 field work completed in October, will extend the expiry dates of some of the claims when an Assessment Report is filed.
The McGill Group of claims extends over 15 kilometres of distance from the southeast to northwest corners. Table 0-1 summarizes the claim holdings.

There are no parks or Indian Reserves within the area of the McGill project but there are nearby Indian Reserves to the east in the Botanie Creek valley area and to the west and across the Fraser River as seen in Figure 0-2.
The mineral claims do not have any surface property rights but surface rights or leases can be acquired on Crown Land if a mineable deposit is defined. There are some private land holdings (surface rights) over various sections of the property mainly near Highway 12 in the north near McGillivray Creek and around the Ruddock and Turnip Lakes area. The Author has not confirmed the ownership rights of any of this land.
British Columbia is considered a geopolitically stable jurisdiction for mineral exploration claim ownership.
ACCESSIBILITY, CLIMATE, LOCAL RESOURCES, INFRASTRUCTURE, AND PHYSIOGRAPHY
Accessibility
The property is crossed, near the north end of the property, by Highway 12 between Lytton and Lillooet, BC. At Lytton Highway 12 meets Highway 1 with access to Vancouver and the Lower Mainland about two and a half hours drive and/or Kamloops about one and a half hours away. Both are full-service centres for the mining industry. Access to Vancouver, by Highway 99, is also available through Lillooet. The gravel

Figure 0-4 Roads and Elevation Contours at the McGill Project
Laluwissin Creek Forest Service Road is accessed about 11 kilometres north of Lytton on the highway. The Laluwissin Creek Forest Service Road meets the highway southwest of the property near where Izman Creek crosses Highway 12. Lillooet is also about 30 kilometres further to the north on the highway. A network of logging roads allow access to the centre of the property with an extensive dirt bike trail network offering further opportunities to get into the distant parts of the property. Access is also available on the Botanie Creek road from just north of Lytton and a gravel road leaving Highway 12 just north of McGillivray Creek accessing the area near McGillivray Creek.
18
Climate
The climate for the property area around Lytton and Lillooet falls within the BC Interior Dry Belt. The area is free of snow for the majority of the year, and exploration can continue generally from about early-May until earlyNovember. Due to the large vertical elevation differences the lower areas have a longer working season. The weather for Lillooet is summarized in Figure 0-5 which is at a similar elevation to the lowest areas of McGill. Drilling and mining can be undertaken year-round but roads will have to be ploughed for the winter especially at higher elevations.

Figure 0-5 Climate Summary at Lillooet, BC
Local Resources
The town of Lytton is approximately 20 km to the south and the town of Lillooet is located approximately 20 km to the north. Both towns have retail, service suppliers, personnel and other facilities. Additional facilities and highly specialized equipment and personnel are available from either Kamloops or Vancouver, both within a fourhour drive.
There is sufficient flat and gentle surface land at McGill for potential mine infrastructure and year-round sources of water are on or near the property.
Infrastructure
Highway 12, with connections to Highway 1 at Lytton and Highway 99 at Lillooet, crosses the west side of the property in the McGillivray Creek area. Both Highways travel to Vancouver, about three hours away and Highway 1 to Kamloops is under two hours. There are also two transcontinental rail lines, CNR and CPR, in Lytton and another line of the CNR in Lillooet. High voltage powerlines parallel Highway 12 nearby and cross the western side of the property near McGillivray Creek. Local powerlines for residential use parallel Highway 12.

Figure 0-6 Aerial Image of the McGill Project area
The elevation on the property ranges from about 320 metres above sea level in the McGillivray Creek area to over 1,820 metres above sea level on an unnamed peak between Laluwissin and McGillivray Creeks. This results in a wide variation of vegetation and terrain.
Relief in the area is moderate-to-steep with pine and fir forests as well as lower areas with alder/birch and grassland present. Logging in the area has resulted in an extensive road system and large areas that have been clear-cut over the last 50 years.

HISTORY
The history of work at McGill is generally early-stage exploration and has not had any systematic rock sampling such as drilling or chip lines. The general locations of the showings are indicated on Figure 0-9 and Figure 0-11.
McGillivray and Alice Showings Area
In 1941 the Victory Claim was staked on the ridge between Laluwissin Creek and McGillivray Creek, according to Duffel and McTaggart, 1952. This is described to be located over the ridge located in the area where the work program of 2006 was done. It describes a north-westerly trending zone of faulting. There is a description of “inclusions” that are consistent with the body or bodies of altered volcanics seen in the 2006 mapping. It also mentions fine grained pyrite in a rusty fault zone.
In 1971 Cuda Resources, in Chisholm, 1972, did a copper soil geochemical and magnetometer study in the area of Laluwissin Creek and Highway 12 and south. Geological mapping of these areas was completed in August of 1972 by Asano 1972, for Colt Resources Ltd. (renamed from Cuda Resources). He has mapped generally northerly trending bands of altered Nicola volcanics within the Mount Lytton Complex diorite. The volcanics show varying levels of epidote and chlorite alteration. He correlates the magnetic highs to patches of gossan. There are several zones of copper mineralization described. The copper geochemistry and magnetometer survey were contoured in a general northerly trend. There is a special correlation between copper in soils and magnetometer highs.
D.C. Malcolm, 1976 undertook geological mapping of the McGillivray Creek basin between 1972 and 1976 for Acacia Mineral Development and notes:
“The main deposits occur at the summit of a ridge and along its flanks between elevations 4,500 and 5,000 feet. On the north side of the ridge a number of small hand trenches expose sheared and brecciated feldspar porphyry and altered limy volcanics. Five samples over an area 200 feet by 200 feet, averaged 0.42% copper.
A road has been built from McGillivray Creek to the lower part of the deposit on the north slope of the ridge. Trenches have been roughed out partly across the deposit at elevations 4,650 and 4,800 feet.
On the south side of the ridge, 1,500 feet south of these trenches, chalcopyrite occurs with magnetite in old trenches and malachite-stained feldspar porphyry forms a slide in a dry gulch. One picked sample assayed 0.37 oz. silver, per ton and 7.16% copper.
On the road, at elevation 3,300 feet, a porphyry dike was exposed. Chalcopyrite bearing limestone breccia float occurs near it.
Pyritic deposits occur over a large area east of the porphyry dikes and extend across the claims. Two outcrops have been sampled and assayed 0.095% and 0.15% copper.”
The area described by Malcolm is consistent with the area that was the focus of the 2006 to 2014 study at McGill.
A geochemical program was completed in 1978 and reported in White, 1978 for Acacia Minerals. This is centred in the same basin as the 2006 to 2014 work programs of Atocha. His conclusions read:
“The limonite gossans exposed in the southern portion of the survey area have a strong copper zinc geochemical expression which indicates they are part of a northerly trending mineralized zone.
21
They are heavily pyritized appear to be associated with a series of andesites, dacites, limestone breccias and tuffs. A strong copper, lead, silver and zinc anomaly occurs at 9 / 60s - OE at the head of a small stream which is seeping an alumina-rich white powder.”
In 1983 Ryan Energy undertook an 80-line kilometre VLF – EM and Magnetics airborne survey Pezzot and White, 1983 over the ACE 1 to 8 claims in the McGillivray Creek basin that was the area of focus of the 2006 to 2014 work. The resulting 1983 magnetic lows were interpreted as:
“Two northwest-southeast trending magnetic lows are evident across the survey area. One follows a geologically defined fault across the southwest corner of the claims area. The second follows McGillivray Creek. Terrain clearance effects across the valley formed by McGillivray Creek are not influencing the magnetic field intensity in this area and it is likely that another fault is present.
A north-south trending magnetic high correlates with a mountain ridge on the east side of McGillivray Creek. No geological evidence of a lithology change is reported in this area. The magnetic data may be reflecting an unmapped facies change within the volcanic unit; possibly a dioritic phase or simply an increased content of higher magnetic susceptibility materials. A closed magnetic high located on line 20 immediately west of this ridge is likely an outlier of the same rock unit.”
The VLF EM from the 1983 report is reported as:
“The VLF-EM data is presented in profile form over the same topographic and geological base map used to illustrate the magnetic contours. The Seattle frequency data … shows a subtle shift in the field intensity which correlates with the G.S.C. defined fault crossing the southwest corner of the survey area. In addition, the northwest-southeast trending belt of limestone is reflected as a slight conductivity increase. This response extends further south than the unit as indicated by D.C. Malcolm.”
In 2006 a report by Shearer, 2006 in the McGillivray Creek area, on the McGillivray Group of claims and within the area of the present McGill claims, outlines the work program consisting of prospecting and soil/rock sampling with a total of 453 soils and 40 rock samples collected. There were a number of copper in soil anomalous areas identified. The area to the northeast of the gossanous landslide and nearby was the focus of this program.
In 2009 a program of excavator trenching, geochemistry and prospecting was completed on the McGillivray Property as recorded in Shearer, 2009. A number of anomalous samples were uncovered and the geology was better defined.
The 2011 program, reported in Shearer, 2011, consisted of geological mapping, prospecting and collecting 95 samples.
In 2012 a program air-photo interpretation was completed and reported in Shearer, 2013. A significant number of lineaments were identified in the area. The regional airborne geomagnetic data was also reviewed.
The McGillivray claims were re-staked in 2013 and 2014. Work in 2014, Shearer, 2014, consisted of prospecting and geological mapping and assays with a portable XRF to quantify geochemical trends. Samples analysed contained up to 842 ppm copper. The McGillivray claims expired in 2017 and 2018.
From 2018 to 2020 the McGill and Alice claims were staked which included the former McGillivray Creek area and extending south to include the Bob showing. Shearer 2019 outlines a program of continued rock geochemistry and a ground magnetometer study with traverses in the lower elevations of the property. These are the present McGill Group of claims.

Bob Showing Summary
-
1915 underground workings (Bob/Cop claims).
-
Bob area claims held continuously until 1970 when acquired by Santana International.
-
Santana expanded tenures and constructed access roads to main showings and carried out considerable trenching.
-
Claims optioned to El Paso Mining and Smelting Co.
-
Claims dropped that year.
-
Staked by Mr. R. Hurley and partner to cover the main mineral showings.
-
Apparently, Hoko Exploration was not aware of the existence of the Bob claims when staking the CM claims in August 1975.
-
Hoko attempted a Winke drilling program in 1976 that was unsuccessful due to inadequate size of the drill to overcome fractured and broken rock.
-
Claims staked by Bitterroot Resources Ltd. in 2005.
-
Bitterroot conducted exploration in 2007.
-
Claims allowed to lapse in September 2013.
-
SPIN claims staked by Pacific Empire Minerals, September 2013.”
-
Pacific Empire Minerals completed an historic data summarization and limited field work of prospecting and sampling in 2014. The claims lapsed in April 2015.
There are multiple soil geochemical surveys that include extensive anomalous areas of copper and other elements. Gold was not generally analysed in the copper porphyry exploration of the 1960s and 1970s.

Figure 0-8 Geological Terranes in the McGill Property Area
The McGill property is within the geological Intermontane Belt as represented locally by the Quesnellia, Overlap (generally Spences Bridge Group) and Cache Creek Terranes. The Quesnellia Terrane, which underlies most of the McGill claims, contains low grade metamorphic pieces of mixed oceanic and continental plates that accreted to North America in the early Jurassic. The Overlap Terrane, of the Spences Bridge Group, is a Lower Cretaceous volcanic terrane that is seen on the east side of the McGill property as well as fault slices in the centre of the Mount Lytton Complex which is part of the Quesnellia Terrane. See Figure 0-8. The ground to the west of the McGill property is across the regional scale Fraser River Fault, with over 100 kilometres of offset of the rocks on
25
the west side to the north. The geology to the west of the fault is unrelated to the geology and mineralization on the McGill property.
The Quesnellia Terrane (Figure 0-8) is characterized by a Late Triassic to Early Jurassic magmatic arc complex that formed along or near the Western North American continental margin. Additional terranes to the west are part of the Coast-Cascade Belts such as the Bridge River, Methow, Cadwallader. Towards the west, the Quesnellia Terrane is in fault contact with the Cadwallader, Methow and Bridge River Terranes along the Fraser River Fault.
Tertiary age regional faulting controls the general pattern of the major geological groups in this part of British Columbia (Monger & McMillan, 1984). These faults are generally right lateral offset and trend north or northnorth-west, including the regionally large offset on the locally Fraser River fault. The contacts between the Mount Lytton Complex and Spences Bridge Group are part of this fault system style.
Monger et. al., 1989 summarizes the local deformation as:
“The fabric of metamorphic rocks of the Mount Lytton Plutonic Complex … is cut by granitic rocks that yielded Lower Jurassic K-Ar dates and the complex is stratigraphically overlain by Cretaceous strata (including Spences Bridge Group). That fabric is possibly early Mesozoic, for lithological similarities suggest that the metamorphic rocks may well be derived from the Nicola Group.”
There is an age date of a tonalite, near the highway just west of the McGill property, within the Mount Lytton Complex that returned an age date of 250 million years ago as reported in Friedman and van der Heyden, 1992. This 1992 paper also correlates the geological offset along the Fraser River Fault. The offset is defined between the Mount Lytton Complex, which underlies the McGill property, to the Farwell Pluton in the Williams Lake area located on west side of the fault a distance of over 130 kilometres.
Local Geology
There are two major rock formations on the property. The first is dioritic and granodioritic intrusives of the Permian to Triassic age Mount Lytton Complex (MLC) which also includes small bodies of altered sediments and later dykes. The other major unit is the younger altered Lower Cretaceous andestic volcanics of the Pimainus Formation, part of the Spences Bridge Group (SBG). The SBG outcrops on the eastern side of the claims, as well as fault-controlled bands as inliers in the diorite near the eastern side of the McGill property. The MLC unit is mapped (see Figure 0-9) to underly much of the property but the Author’s site visit uncovered several small faultbounded bands of possible Pimainus Formation within the area regionally mapped as MLC. This style is locally reported in other historic reports including Monger et. al., 1989 at the south end of the McGill property. The geology is no doubt more complex than depicted in Figure 0-9. The report by Monger et. al., 1989, that is a detailed description of the geology in Figure 0-9, indicates as well that there is a significant number of small dioritic intrusive bodies assigned to the late Triassic Nicola intrusives within the MLC. These are conceivably feeder stocks of the Nicola Group volcanics which Monger, et. al., 1989 has suggested the MLC is the deeper portion or roots of these volcanics.
The regional Fraser River Fault, a major north-north-westerly trending structure, is located on the western boundary of the McGill property in the north end. This strike slip fault may have 135 to 160 kilometres of dextral strike slip as noted in Read, 2000 and Friedman and van der Heyden, 1992. Due to this fault offset

27
the rocks to the west of the Fraser River Fault are not geologically related to the units found on the McGillivray property and the geology and mineral deposit types and claims to the west are not generally reported by this Author.
The close spatial relation of the McGill property to the Fraser River fault has likely influenced the geological units and the mineralization on the property. The strong northerly trending faulting that separates the MLC and the SBG, sub parallel to the Fraser River Fault are likely related. As well, deep faults like the Fraser River Fault system have acted as conduits for deep hydrothermal fluids in other geological regions and influenced local metal deposition.
There are bands of fault-bounded northerly trending altered volcanics that have been mapped as gneisses and schists by Duffell and McTaggart, 1952 and assigned to the Permian aged Cache Creek Group. On the later geological map by Monger, et. al., 1989, (Figure 0-9) there are gneisses and schists defined in the southern end of the property but not noted in the north end where the 1952 map had them. These volcanic bands extend over the ridge between Laluwissin and McGillivray Creek and were mapped near Highway 12 (Asano, 1972) as well in the basin near McGillivray Creek to the northeast, Shearer, 2006. Locally the alteration was observed to be argillic to kaolinitic with the intensity of alteration varying greatly. These are possibly fault-bound slivers of the Pimainus Formation volcanics of the Spences Bridge Group within the Mount Lytton Complex as locally defined in the south end of the property in Monger, et. al., 1989.
Stewart and Gale, 2006 mapped the Pimainus Formation in the area of the Falcon Target, much further west than shown in Figure 0-9 and extending well onto the McGill property. This map location of the Pimainus Formation is likely based on more detailed field work in this area than Monger, et. al., 1989. One of the contacts found by the Author, with anomalous copper in soil values, may alternatively be the western edge of the Pimainus Formation contacting the Mount Lytton Complex.
Local Mineralization
There are five BC Geological Survey Branch MINFILEs on the McGill property. MINFILEs are government authored geological summaries of mineral showings and deposits in BC. The location of these zones and others nearby is summarized on Figure 0-9.
The copper mineralization is largely disseminated and shear related copper and silver-lead with some, zinc and gold reported. Strong lineations were seen on the ground during the Author’s 2006 property visit and in the contour maps. These are probable fault-boundaries to the altered volcanic units within the Mount Lytton Complex intrusives as described in several historical reports. The high level and large surface extent of alteration seen indicates a strong hydrothermal system with the resulting gossanous and clay rich alteration. This alteration was evident as the Author walked the property in 2006 as well as seen in the large landslide visible from the highway. The Acacia North, Acacia South and Ace MINFILEs all occur in the area of the 2006 to 2014 exploration in the north end of the McGill Property. This area is noted by a dark green star in Figure 0-9.
There are reports of porphyry copper style veining, skarn and brecciation in the Bob showing area as noted in Peters and Ritchie, 2014. This area is noted by a red star in Figure 7 2.
The Alice showing is a narrow tetrahedrite or tennantite vein with a small adit. (Cardinal, 2020 and White, 1980) that has been visited repeatedly. This area is noted by a dark blue star in Figure 7 2
The eastern side of the property has Spences Bridge Group rocks with the potential for low-sulphidation epithermal deposits as seen at the Skoonka Creek claims (seen in the lower right of Figure 0-8) of Westhaven Ventures and the epithermal targets identified by Talisker Resources (seen in Figure 0-9 and Figure 0-1). There is
28
limited historic work at McGill for these possible epithermal gold deposits. Most historic work within the McGill Property was focused on the porphyry copper deposit targets and gold was not historically analysed for in these studies.
The length and continuity of any zones is poorly described in the historic literature and further work is required to understand these parameters.
DEPOSIT TYPES
There are two major deposit types targeted on this property plus a possible alternative style:
-
copper-gold porphyry within the Mount Lytton Complex intrusive rocks
-
epithermal precious metals within the Pimainus Formation volcanic rocks of the Spences Bridge Group
-
plus, a unique possible minor type at the Alice deposit
The early exploration of this property was for copper with copper porphyry targets investigated through the 1970s to 1990s within the Mount Lytton Complex intrusive rocks. Copper porphyry targets were very favourable following the discovery of several large deposits in British Columbia and the improvements in technology to economically mine these deposits. Most of the early geochemistry was for copper or copper and zinc, with little evidence of precious metal or multi-element analyses in these projects. In the early 2000’s the low-sulphidation epithermal gold-silver potential of the Spences Bridge Group was recognized and actively explored with this exploration continuing to today which is located on the eastern side of the McGill property.
The primary target deposit type on the McGill property is a porphyry copper deposit which is targeted within the rocks of the Mount Lytton Complex intrusive rocks. The alteration patterns described below are commonly used as a vector toward the highest mineralized zones. The field mapping completed in 2006 and later mapping and studies referenced in this report is focused on the alteration and mineralization for a porphyry copper deposit. Historic work at Bob and the McGillivray Creek area was focused heavily on the copper porphyry potential. Figure 0-10 from Corbett, 2005, indicates an idealized cross section of the general; areas of formation of a porphyry copper deposit (within the blue box).
The following summary is sourced from Panteleyev, 1995”
“Copper, molybdenum and gold are generally present but quantities range from insufficient for economic recovery to major ore constituents. Minor silver is found in most deposits and rhenium was recovered from the Island Copper mine on Vancouver Island.
The deposits are generally stockworks of quartz veinlets, quartz veins, closely spaced fractures and breccias containing pyrite and chalcopyrite with lesser molybdenite, bornite and magnetite occur in large zones of economically bulk-mineable mineralization in or adjoining porphyritic intrusions and related breccia bodies. Disseminated sulphide minerals are present, generally in subordinate amounts. The mineralization is spatially, temporally and genetically associated with hydrothermal alteration of the hostrock intrusions and wallrocks.
Porphyry deposits contain the largest reserves of copper and significant molybdenum resources and close to 50% of the gold reserves in British Columbia.”

Figure 0-10 Epithermal and Porphyry Copper Deposit Type Model Cross Section
The other major deposit type at McGill, and seen on the east side and possibly in fault-bound slices of the Mount Lytton Complex of the claims, is within the volcanics of the Spences Bridge Group rocks. It is a low-sulphidation epithermal precious metals system. The local geology is predominantly felsic and intermediate sub-aerial and flow volcanic rocks in an extensional and strike-slip structural regime. This is a preferred environment for these deposit types. Epithermal deposits are created in the near surface portion of hydrothermal systems that can include surface hot springs and deeper hydrothermal fluid-flow zones. These can be locales for precious metal mineralization. Mineral deposition takes place near the surface in the zones where the hydrothermal fluids undergo cooling by oner or more of the following: fluid mixing, boiling, and/or pressure loss. An illustration of a typical system is shown in Figure 0-10 with the low-sulphidation deposition zone identified on the right-hand side of the diagram circled in red.
In the BCGS summary of deposit types (Panteleyev, 1995) the following summary of a low-sulphidation epithermal precious metal deposits indicates:
“Quartz veins, stockworks and breccias carrying gold, silver, electrum, argentite and pyrite with lesser and variable amounts of sphalerite, chalcopyrite, galena, rare tetrahedrite and sulphosalt minerals form in high- level (epizonal) to near-surface environments. The ore commonly exhibits open-space filling textures and is associated with volcanic-related hydrothermal to geothermal systems.”
30
Cardinal, 2020, suggests a possibly unique third type of mineralization in the Alice area, at the north end of the property, that does not match any of the conventional mineral deposit models well. He describes it as “possibly a copper (silver)-bearing, iron carbonate(+quartz-calcite-kaolinitic) breccia (diatreme-like), volcanic hosted stratabound-related exploration model.” White, 1980, mapped in this area as well. If exploration of this area is undertaken in the future this unique possible style should be kept in mind.
EXPLORATION
In 2020, a multi stage field exploration program was completed in October focused on the areas noted in Figure 0-11. The Author spent two and a half days in the field with the assistance of John Grabovac, prospector, focused on the higher areas near the eastern boundary of the property. One of these days was spent in the company of the property vendor. Jo Shearer as well. It was snowing during much of the Author’s visit, that ended earlier than planned due to the weather, and this made it difficult to see all the geology so a limited number of rock samples were collected during the visit. The rock samples collected had negligible quantities of economic elements. The Author also collected 16 soil samples during the traverses and located copper in soil anomalies, all proximal to presumed contacts between the Pimainus Formation volcanics and the Mount Lytton Complex porphyritic intrusive rocks.
It was noted on these 2020 traverses by the Author that there are several fault-bounded slices of the Pimainus Formation volcanic rocks within the Mount Lytton Complex intrusive rocks. The geological map by Monger, et. al., 1989 of the Geological Survey of Canada seen in Figure 0-9 does not include the slices of volcanic rock reviewed in the Author’s visit, due to the regional nature of the mapping done to develop these maps. There are likely more fault-bound slices of these volcanic rocks to be defined in future detailed geological mapping. Duffell and McTaggart, 1952 has a fault in the area of where the traverses were completed with a similar trend as suggested by the Author, but mapped the volcanic units as part of the older Permian aged Cache Creek Group.
There was also a two-day field review of the McGillivray Creek area, specifically focused on the Alice Claim area, by Dan Cardinal, P.Geo. (Cardinal, 2020). He noted that the mineralized zones in the Alice area and a comparison to the copper porphyry and epithermal gold mineralization elsewhere on the property as:
“The mineralized host rock, alteration and structural features associated with the copper zone may be somewhat more unique consequently, the author believes the Alice copper zone requires re-interpretation and consideration taken to develop an exploration mineral model that will best fit more an ‘Alice type’, possibly a copper (silver)-bearing, iron carbonate(+quartz-calcite-kaolinitic) breccia (diatreme-like), volcanic hosted stratabound-related exploration model.”

Later in October, Jo Shearer, P.Geo., property vendor, and John Grabovac, prospector, returned for further prospecting and sampling following melting of some of the earlier snow. During this program Grabovac went to the Bob showing area on the top of the mountain. He collected multiple grab rock samples generally selected for the presence of sulphide minerals. These rocks were spot analysed by Jo Shearer using a using an XRF Unit. The XRF was factory calibrated (Cert No. 0154-0557-1) on October 30, 2013, numbered as Instrument #540557, and type Olympus DPO-2000 Delta Premium. The grab sample values recorded were mainly low-grade copper in many samples but four samples analysed between 7.62% and 10.68% copper on spot analyses. This method is open to sample bias due to the highly localized area of analysis inherent in the XRF tool. Grab samples were also selected for highly mineralized zones and not necessarily be indicative of a larger area. These samples should be considered as samples of potential localized high value and not of the general nature of a potential porphyry copper-gold deposit at McGill.
32
DRILLING
In 1976 Hoko attempted to complete small core diameter, Winke diamond drill holes on the Bob showing. They could not get through the broken ground due to the small size of the core and the low powered drill. Very limited sampling was done with no significant values returned. Prisma Capital has done no drilling on the McGill property.
SAMPLE PREPARATION, ANALYSES AND SECURITY
This project is still in an early stage of exploration despite the seemingly large body of field work. Most of the historic sampling has been soil sampling with limited rock sampling and local ground magnetometer studies and localized trenching. The work so far has generally been to develop more advanced targets for methods such as trenching and drilling. These target generation programs are more of a qualitative comparison like programs.
Some of the 2020 samples were analysed by the use of the XRF unit as described in Section 9 of this report. This method is quick and can be used for random checks, but the nature of the analysis is on a very small localized area of the rock (spot) and may not be indicative of the larger rock. It is often adequate for qualitative analysis but not to be generally depended on for quantitative work such as in Resource Estimation or similar studies.
A set of rock and soil samples were collected in the field by the Author and were hand delivered to ALS Global, Geochemistry Laboratory in North Vancouver, BC. This ALS Laboratory meets the requirements and is accredited to International Standards ISO/IEC 17025:2017.
The methods used for analysis and sample preparation are summarized in Table 0-1.

The rock samples collected on site returned low copper and gold values. There were anomalously high copper and other metal values in the soil geochemistry located near contacts between the volcanic and intrusive rocks.
The sample preparation, security, and analytical procedures used historically is adequate for a project at this early stage of development.
DATA VERIFICATION
Although samples were collected by the author, there were no verification samples collected due to snow conditions in the planned area in and near the Bob showing at the time of the visit. The other areas visited by the
33
author in 2020 did not include verification sample collection opportunities. No samples were collected by the Author in 2006.
The Author has made two visits to different parts of the property and from the data returned and the large alteration systems with mineralization seen that this property has potential porphyry copper type targets. The analysis methods used in 2020 are adequate for a program at this early stage, but going forward a more rigorous procedure including insertion of standards and blanks should be considered for rocks samples. If systematic sampling such as drilling or surface chip-line samples are undertaken a rigorous program of systematic standard and blank sample insertion in the analysis stream and a Quality Assurance/Quality Control review of values is required
MINERAL PROCESSING AND METALLURGICAL TESTING
There is no known metallurgical or mineral process testing at the McGill project.
MINERAL RESOURCE ESTIMATES
There have been no Mineral Resource Estimates at the McGill Project.

ADJACENT PROPERTIES
==> picture [401 x 519] intentionally omitted <==
Modified by SPB from Talisker Resources March 2020 Presentation
Figure 0-1 Adjacent Properties to McGill
The 222-kilometre-long “Spences Bridge Gold Belt” project of Talisker Resources is immediately adject to the east as seen on their website https://taliskerresources.com/greenfields-projects/#spences-bridge and reproduced in Figure 0-1. Talisker has undertaken regional scale exploration in 2019 along this belt and begun to focus down in
35
2020 on the targets as depicted in red in Figure 0-1. This project is targeting the epithermal gold mineralization defined by Westhaven Ventures in the Spences Bridge Group rocks in multiple locations including the nearby Skoonka Creek and Skoonka North properties as seen in Figure 0-1. Drill related intercepts at nearby Skoonka Creek include 20.2 g/t gold over 12.8 m (in SC-008) and 28.6 g/t gold over 3.31 m (in SC-007) as noted at https://www.westhavengold.com/projects/skoonka-creek-gold/details/.
The Author has been unable to verify the information on the properties of Talisker Resources and Westhaven Ventures and that this information is not necessarily indicative of the mineralization on the McGill property.
The Spin prospect, adjoins McGill to the south. It is an early-stage prospect with stream and soil sampling and geological mapping. Work here was last summarized in Peters and Ritchie, 2014, when grouped with the Bob showing. The Diana showing, located to the west near Laluwissin Creek and Highway 12, is a porphyry copper gold prospect with limited historic work. Both of these Showings are seen in Figure 0-9.
The Fraser River fault to the west of McGill property has about 135 to 160 kilometres of offset to the north, and the properties to the west of this fault are in geology unrelated to the McGill property.
OTHER RELEVANT DATA AND INFORMATION
There is no further information known to the Author that is relevant to his report .
INTERPRETATION AND CONCLUSIONS
There is an extensive history of exploration on the McGill property extending back to at least 1915. The region is prospective for copper and precious metal mineralization in various areas. The infrastructure and access are good for exploration and potential mining.
The McGill property is an early-stage project with two major target types of metal mineralization. The first is the potential for porphyry copper type deposits in the Mount Lytton Complex (LTC) intrusive rocks of the west and central part of the property. On the east side is a fault-bounded section of the Spences Bridge Group (SBG) volcanic rocks with the potential for low sulphidation epithermal gold deposits. There are also fault-bounded slices of the SBG volcanic rocks in the LTC as seen by the Author in the field with epithermal potential or possibly fault contact mineralization related to remobilization of the porphyry copper metals.
Significant structural complexity exists on the property, and regional northeast trends are recognized in the geophysics, local geologic mapping and by the Author in the field visit. Propylitic and phyllic alteration is evident over large areas on the McGill Property. Further geological mapping and prospecting for lithology and alteration is required.
The historic soil geochemistry is significant although not always systematic, with several discrete large copper-insoil anomalies in various areas, including at the Bob showing and the McGillivray Creek areas. Many of these values could be characterized as highly anomalous.
There is an extensive gravel road network for access to many parts of the property. This should make permitting easier and exploration less expensive. Some local upgrades will be necessary but the routes are developed.
There has been no drilling on the property other than two failed holes at the Bob showing. There are some short adits at the Bob and Alice showings that have not defined significant zones, possibly due to the limited length.
36
The McGill property is largely underlain by the Mount Lytton Complex, a system of intrusives with younger dykes and fault-bounded segments of volcanics, that has been under-explored and deserves further exploration for copper-gold mineralized zones. The Spences Bridge Group on the east has potential for precious metal mineralized zones. Further work at the McGill Property is recommended.

|---|---|
The McGill property is an early-stage project with two major target types of mineralization. The first Phase of proposed exploration on the McGill property includes:
-
reconnaissance mapping looking for Pimainus Formation fault-bound slices and epithermal gold as well as noting the porphyry copper potential in the centre of the Mount Lytton Complex. Notes on rock alteration will be valuable in determining trends and targets.
-
work on the epithermal gold targets on the east side of the property particularly near the Falcon and Cobra targets as defined by Talisker Resources and noted in Figure 0-1 .
-
systematic soil sampling over target areas, especially continuing/adding to the Bob Zone and in the area near the Cobra target of Talisker Resources. Analysis of gold and 40 plus multi-element ICP analysis is recommended for this program.
-
Further prospecting and sampling in the northeast corner of the property near the Falcon showing of Talisker Resources and following up on the Author’s proposed contact running generally north-south with higher soil values found near the contact in 2020.
Contingent on positive results in the first phase of exploration a second phase including Airborne Geophysics collecting both magnetic and radiometric data is suggested. The airborne survey should be completed between July and early October, avoiding snow cover, to maximize the benefits of the radiometric survey to track the potassic alteration zones.
37
After the geophysical survey 600 metres of diamond drilling the outlined targets can be undertaken.

38
delay of exploration programs and shortages of exploration service providers. The COVID 19 pandemic may delay the phase one exploration program. Upon the completion of the IPO, the Corporation will have $80,214.83 in unallocated working capital that it can deploy to cover expenses incurred during delays caused by the COVID 19 pandemic.
Total Other Funds Available
There are no other funds available to the Corporation, other than as set out above.
Unallocated Funds in Trust or in Escrow
There are no unallocated funds in trust or in escrow.
Negative Operating Cash Flow
Since inception, the Corporation has had negative operating cash flow and incurred losses. The Corporation's negative operating cash flow and losses are expected to continue for the foreseeable future. The Corporation cannot predict when it will reach positive operating cash flow, if ever. Due to the expected continuation of negative operating cash flow, the Corporation will be reliant on future financings in order to meet its cash needs. There is no assurance that such future financings will be available on acceptable terms or at all. See “Risk Factors”.
Business Objectives and Milestones
The business objectives the Corporation expects to achieve using the available funds are to: (i) obtain a listing of the Common Shares on the Exchange; and (ii) complete Phase 1 of the exploration program recommended in the Technical Report. The Corporation expects to commence Phase 1 following listing, the Corporation believes it will take a minimum of 12 months to complete Phase 1 and analyze the results. If the results dictate further exploration, subject to obtaining additional financing the Corporation expects to proceed with a Phase 2 program based on the Phase 1 results. The Corporation expects to commence and complete a Phase 2 within 12 to 18 months of completion of Phase 1.
The Corporation’s business objectives of completing the listing on the Exchange will occur on the date the Corporation lists on the Exchange. The cost of covering administrative costs for the first 12 months following listing is estimated at $48,543. The cost of completing Phase 1 of the recommended work program is estimated at $110,000. It is possible that it will take more than 12 months for the Corporation to complete Phase 1 of the recommended work program.
DIVIDENDS
The Corporation has never declared, nor paid, any dividend since its incorporation and does not foresee paying any dividend in the near future since all available funds will be used to conduct exploration activities. Any future payment of dividends will depend on the financing requirements and financial condition of the Corporation and other factors which the Board, in its sole discretion, may consider appropriate and in the best interests of the Corporation.
Under the BCA, the Corporation is prohibited from declaring or paying dividends if there are reasonable grounds for believing that the Corporation is insolvent or the payment of dividends would render the Corporation insolvent.

Overall Performance
The Corporation is a junior exploration company engaged in the exploration and development of the McGill Property. The Corporation’s future performance depends on, among other things, its ability to discover and develop ore reserves at commercially recoverable quantities, the prevailing market price of commodities it produces, the Corporation’s ability to secure required financing, and in the event ore reserves are found in economically recoverable quantities, the Corporation’s ability to secure operating and environmental permits to commence and maintain mining operations.
During the period from the date of incorporation on March 21, 2018 to January 31, 2021, the Corporation’s activities included the acquisition of the McGill Property as well as activities related to various private placements. See “Business of the Company” and “Acquisition of the McGill Property”.
Results of Operation
Subsequent to the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Corporation completed a private placement on June 4, 2021, whereby it issued 2,500,000 common shares at a price of $0.10 per share for total proceeds of $250,000.
Three Months ended March 31, 2021, and March 31, 2020
The Corporation reported net losses of $12,581 and $5,434 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020. The main factors that contributed to these losses were increases in professional and consulting fees of $12,581 and $Nil.
Years Ended December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019
The Corporation reported net losses of $7,886 and $35, during the years ended December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019. The main factors that contributed to the loss in fiscal 2020 and 2019 were filing and regulatory fees of $5,643 and $Nil, office and administration costs of $496 and $35, and professional and consulting fees of $1,747.
Accounting and audit fees were paid in connection with the preparation of the Corporation’s audited financial statements.
During the years ended December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Corporation completed the following equity financings.
On January 13, 2020, the Corporation completed a non-brokered private placement and issued 536,900 common shares of the Corporation at a price of $0.05 per share for gross cash proceeds of $26,845.
On October 9, 2020, the Corporation completed a non-brokered private placement and issued 3,550,000 common shares of the Corporation at a price of $0.025 per share for gross proceeds of $88,750.
On December 19, 2019, the Corporation completed a non-brokered private placement financing, issuing 274,000 common shares of the Corporation at a price of $0.05 per share for gross proceeds of $13,700.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Corporation reported working capital of $37,346 and cash on hand of $37,303 as at December 31, 2020.
41
The Corporation has $273,757.83 in available funds. The Corporation estimates that the capital required to carry out Phase 1 of the recommended exploration program on the McGill Property and to pay the Optionors the next installment pursuant to the McGill Property Option Agreement is $110,000 and issuance of 100,000 common shares. In addition, the Corporation also anticipates that it will be required to incur approximately $48,543 in general and administrative expenses, and $35,000 in prospectus costs, Exchange listing fees, and expenses. After giving effect to these allocations, the Corporation anticipates it will have $80,214.83 in unallocated working capital
The Corporation’s future capital requirements will depend upon many factors including, without limitation, the results of its exploration programs including Phase 1 and Phase 2 and commodity prices for precious metals. The Corporation has limited capital resources and has to rely upon the sale of equity securities for cash required for exploration and development purposes, for acquisitions and to fund the administration of the Corporation. Since the Corporation does not expect to generate any revenues from operations in the near future, it must continue to rely upon the sales of its equity and debt securities to raise capital, which would result in further dilution to the shareholders. There is no assurance that financing, whether debt or equity, will be available to the Corporation in the amount required by the Corporation at any particular time or for any period and that such financing can be obtained on terms satisfactory to the Corporation or at all . See “Risk Factors”.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Corporation has no off-balance sheet arrangements.

Changes in Accounting Policies
The following standards have not yet been adopted and are being evaluated to determine their impact on the Corporation’s financial statements:
42
IFRS 9 Financial Instruments (" IFRS 9 ")
IFRS 9 was issued by the IASB in October 2010 and will replace IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement (“ IAS 39 ”). IFRS 9 uses a single approach to determine whether a financial asset is measured at amortized cost or fair value, replacing the multiple rules in IAS 39. The approach in IFRS 9 is based on how an entity manages its financial instruments in the context of its business model and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial assets. Most of the requirements in IAS 39 for classification and measurement of financial liabilities were carried forward unchanged to IFRS 9. The new standard also requires a single impairment method to be used, replacing the multiple impairment methods in IAS 39. IFRS 9 is required to be applied for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. IFRS 9 has a tentative effective date of January 1, 2018 with early adoption permitted.
The extent of the impact of adoption of these standards and interpretations on the financial statements of the Corporation has not been determined.
Based on its review of the above, management is of the opinion that the Corporation's current accounting policies and disclosures in its financial statements comply in all material respects with the requirements so far as they are applicable to its present operations.
Financial Instruments
The Corporation’s financial instruments consist of cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities. Unless otherwise noted, it is management’s opinion that the Corporation is not exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from these financial instruments. The fair values of these financial instruments approximate their carrying values unless otherwise stated.
Summary of Quarterly Results
The Corporation’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis provides an analysis of the Corporation’s financial results for the period from January 1, 2021 to March 31, 2021 and should be read in conjunction with the financial statements of the Corporation for such period, and the notes thereto. The Corporation’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis is attached to this Prospectus as Appendix M-1.
Certain information included in the Corporation’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis is forward-looking and based upon assumptions and anticipated results that are subject to uncertainties. Should one or more of these uncertainties materialize or should the underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary significantly from those expected.

Additional Disclosure for Junior Issuers
As set out in the section titled “Use of Available Funds”, the Corporation anticipates having a general working capital of $80,214.83 following completion of the recommended Phase 1, payments to the Optionors and after meeting the budgeted administrative costs for the next 12 months of $48,543. Other than as disclosed in this prospectus, the Corporation does not anticipate incurring any other material capital expenditures.
Assuming that the Corporation has expended its exploration expenses in accordance with the recommendations of the Qualified Person, on the McGill Property, the Corporation will have achieved one of its material stated
44
business objectives which is to determine whether the McGill Property contains mineralized deposits and whether the results warrant the Corporation carrying out further work on the McGill Property.
If the results on the McGill Property do not warrant the Corporation incurring further exploration expenditures, then the Corporation anticipates that it would not have sufficient funds to meet its budgeted administrative costs for the next calendar year. However, if a further work program is recommended on the McGill Property, the Corporation may be required to raise additional funding to carry out additional exploration programs on its McGill Property. In addition, should the opportunity to acquire other mineral exploration properties be presented to the Corporation, whether located in North America or elsewhere, then the Corporation would have to determine the appropriate method of acquiring those properties. In the event that Common Shares could not be used to acquire the said properties, then the Corporation may have to look to raise further capital. See " Risk Factors ".

OPTIONS TO PURCHASE SECURITIES
The Directors of the Corporation adopted a stock option plan on March 1, 2021 (the “Stock Option Plan”). The purpose of the Stock Option Plan is to advance the interests of the Corporation by encouraging the directors, officers, employees, management company employees and consultants of the Corporation, and of its subsidiaries and affiliates, if any, to acquire Common Shares in the share capital of the Corporation, thereby increasing their proprietary interest in the Corporation, encouraging them to remain associated with the Corporation and furnishing them with additional incentive in their efforts on behalf of the Corporation in the conduct of its affairs. The Stock Option Plan provides that, subject to the requirements of the Exchange, the aggregate number of securities reserved for issuance will be 10% of the number of the Corporation’s Common Shares issued and outstanding at the time such options are granted.
The Stock Option Plan will be administered by the Corporation’s Board of Directors, which will have full and final authority with respect to the granting of all options thereunder. The continuation of the Stock Option Plan requires annual shareholder approval by ordinary resolution at each annual meeting of the Issuer.
Eligible Optionees
To be eligible to receive a grant of Options under the Stock Option Plan, regulatory authorities require an Optionee to be either a director, officer, employee, consultant or an employee of a company providing management or other services to the Issuer or a subsidiary at the time the Option is granted.
Options may be granted only to an individual eligible, or to a non-individual that is wholly-owned by individuals eligible, for an Option grant. If the Option is granted to a non-individual, it will not permit any transfer of its securities, nor issue further securities, to any individual or other entity as long as the Option remains in effect.
Restrictions
The Stock Option Plan is a 10% rolling plan and the total number of Common Shares issuable upon exercise of Options under the Stock Option Plan cannot exceed 10% of the Issuer's issued and outstanding Common Shares on the date on which an Option is granted, less Common Shares reserved for issuance on exercise of Options then outstanding under the Stock Option Plan. The Stock Option Plan is also subject to the following restrictions:
-
(a) The Issuer must not grant an Option to a director, employee, consultant, or consultant company (the "Service Provider") in any 12-month period that exceeds 5% of the outstanding Common Shares of the Issuer, unless the Issuer has obtained approval by a majority of the votes cast by all shareholders of the Issuer at the shareholders' meeting excluding votes attached to Common Shares beneficially owned by Insiders of the Issuer and their Associates ("Disinterested Shareholder Approval").
-
(b) The aggregate number of Options granted to a Service Provider conducting investor relations activities in any 12 month period must not exceed 1% of the outstanding Common Shares calculated at the date of the grant, without prior regulatory approval.
-
(c) The Issuer must not grant an Option to a Consultant in any 12 month period that exceeds 1% of the outstanding Common Shares calculated at the date of the grant of the Option.
46
-
(d) The aggregate number of Common Shares reserved for issuance under Options granted to Insiders must not exceed 10% of the outstanding Common Shares (if the Stock Option Plan is amended to reserve for issuance more than 10% of the outstanding Common Shares) unless the Issuer has obtained Disinterested Shareholder Approval to do so.
-
(e) The number of Common Shares issued to Insiders upon exercise of Options in any 12 month period must not exceed 10% of the outstanding Common Shares (if the Stock Option Plan is amended to reserve for issuance more than 10% of the outstanding Common Shares) unless the Issuer has obtained Disinterested Shareholder Approval to do so.
-
(f) The issuance to any one Optionee within a 12 month period of a number of Common Shares must not exceed 5% of outstanding Common Shares unless the Issuer has obtained Disinterested Shareholder Approval to do so.
-
(g) The exercise price of an Option previously granted to an Insider must not be reduced, unless the Issuer has obtained Disinterested Shareholder Approval to do so.
-
(h) The Issuer may implement such procedures and conditions as the Board deems appropriate with respect to withholding and remitting taxes imposed under applicable law, or the funding of related amounts for which liability may arise under such applicable law.

-
(c) for Options granted to Service Providers, the Issuer must ensure that the proposed Optionee is a bona fide Service Provider of the Issuer or its Affiliates;
-
(d) an Option granted to any Service Provider will expire within 90 days (or such other time, not to exceed one year, as shall be determined by the Board as at the date of grant or agreed to by the Board and the Optionee at any time prior to expiry of the Option), after the date the Optionee ceases to be employed by or provide services to the Issuer, but only to the extent that such Option was vested at the date the Optionee ceased to be so employed by or to provide services to the Issuer;
-
(e) if an Optionee dies, any vested Option held by him or her at the date of death will become exercisable by the Optionee's lawful personal representatives, heirs or executors until the earlier of one year after the date of death of such Optionee and the date of expiration of the term otherwise applicable to such Option;

-
(j) the Board reserves the right in its absolute discretion to amend, suspend, terminate or discontinue the Stock Option Plan with respect to all Common Shares reserved under the Stock Option Plan in respect of Options which have not yet been granted.

ESCROWED SECURITIES AND SECURITIES SUBJECT
TO CONTRACTUAL RESTRICTION ON TRANSFER
Escrow under CSE Policies
In accordance with the CSE Policies, National Policy 46-201 Escrow for Initial Public Offerings ("NP 46-201") all Common Shares held by a Related Person as of the Listing Date are subject to escrow restrictions. Under the CSE Policies, the Related Persons of the Issuer are its directors and officers, the Issuer's promoter, and any person that beneficially owns, either directly or indirectly, or exercises voting control or direction over at least 10% of the total Common Shares.
The CSE Policies require that the Escrow Securities be governed by the form of escrow agreement under National Policy 46-201 Escrow for Initial Public Offerings ("NP 46-201"). Pursuant to the Escrow Agreement, among the Issuer, the Escrow Agent, and the directors, officers and insiders of the Issuer, the Escrow Securities will be released in accordance with the following release schedule under NP 46-201, as on listing, the Issuer anticipates being an "Emerging Issuer" (as defined in NP 46-201):
| On the ListingDate | 1/10 of the Escrow Securities |
|---|---|
| 6 months after the ListingDate | 1/6 of the remainingEscrow Securities |
| 12 months after the ListingDate | 1/5 of the remainingEscrow Securities |
| 18 months after the ListingDate | 1/4 of the remainingEscrow Securities |
| 24 months after the ListingDate | 1/3 of the remainingEscrow Securities |
49
| 30 months after the ListingDate | 1/2 of the remainingEscrow Securities |
|---|---|
| 36 months after the ListingDate | the remainingEscrow Securities |
Assuming there are no changes to the Escrow Securities initially deposited and no additional Escrow Securities are deposited, this will result in a 10% release on the Listing Date, with the remaining Escrow Securities being released in 15% tranches every 6 months thereafter.
All the Escrow Securities are subject to the direction and determination of the CSE. Specifically, the Escrow Securities may not be sold, assigned, hypothecated, transferred within escrow or otherwise dealt with in any manner without the consent of the CSE.
The following sets forth particulars of the Escrow Securities that will be subject to Emerging Issuer escrow under the Escrow Agreement on the Listing Date.
| Name and Municipality of Residence Number of Common Shares held in Escrow Percentage of Outstanding Common Shares held in Escrow |

| TOTAL | 350,000(1) 5.03% |
Note:
(1) On the basis of 6,960,901 issued and outstanding Common Shares as of the date of this prospectus.
(2) The Corporation is not completing an Initial Public Offering. The Corporation is providing this non-offering prospectus with the intention of going public on the CSE. Escrow considerations of NP 46-201 do not apply under these conditions.
Under NP 46-201, a “principal” is: (a) a person who has acted as a promoter of the Corporation within two years of the date of this prospectus; (b) a director or senior officer of the Corporation at the time of this prospectus; (c) a person that holds securities carrying more than 20% of the voting rights attached to the Corporation’s outstanding securities immediately before and immediately after the Corporation’s initial public offering; and (d) a person that: (i) holds securities carrying more than 10% of the voting rights attached to the Corporation’s outstanding securities immediately before and immediately after the Corporation’s initial public offering; and (ii) has elected or appointed, or has the right to elect or appoint, one or more directors or senior officers of the Corporation. A principal’s spouse and their relatives that live at the same address as the principal will be deemed principals and any securities of the Corporation held by such a person will be subject to the escrow requirements.
The automatic time release provisions under NP 46-201 pertaining to “established issuers” provide that 25% of each principal’s escrowed securities are released on the listing date, with an additional 25% being released in equal tranches at six-month intervals over 18 months.
If, within 18 months of the listing date, the Corporation meets the “established issuer” criteria, as set out in NP 46201, the Escrowed Securities will be eligible for accelerated release according to the criteria for established issuers. In such a scenario that number of Escrowed Securities that would have been eligible for release from escrow if the Corporation had been an “established issuer” on the listing date will be immediately released from escrow. The remaining Escrowed Securities would be released in accordance with the time release provisions for established issuers, with all escrow securities being released 18 months from the listing date.
50
Under the terms of the Escrow Agreement, Escrowed Securities cannot be transferred by the holder unless permitted under the Escrow Agreement. Notwithstanding this restriction on transfer, a holder of Escrowed Securities may (a) pledge, mortgage or charge the Escrowed Securities to a financial institution as collateral for a loan provided that no Escrow Securities will be delivered by the escrow agent to the financial institution; (b) exercise any voting rights attached to the Escrow Securities; (c) receive dividends or other distributions on the Escrow Securities; and (d) exercise any rights to exchange or convert the Escrow Securities in accordance with the Escrow Agreement.
The Escrowed Securities may be transferred within escrow to: (a) subject to approval of the Corporation’s Board of Directors, an individual who is an existing or newly appointed director or senior officer of the Corporation or of a material operating subsidiary of the Corporation; (b) subject to the approval of the Corporation’s Board of Directors, a person that before the proposed transfer holds more than 20% of the voting rights attached to the Corporation’s outstanding securities; (c) subject to the approval of the Corporation’s Board of Directors, a person that after the proposed transfer will hold more than 10% of the voting rights attached to the Corporation’s outstanding securities and that has the right to elect or appoint one or more directors or senior officers of the Corporation or any of its material operating subsidiaries; (d) upon the bankruptcy of a holder of escrowed securities, the securities held in escrow may be transferred within escrow to the trustee in bankruptcy or other person legally entitled to such securities; (e) upon the death of a holder of escrowed securities, all securities of the deceased holder will be released from escrow to the deceased holder’s legal representative; (f) a financial institution that the holder pledged, mortgaged or charges to a financial institution as collateral for a loan on realization of such loan; and (g) a registered retirement savings plan (“RRSP”), registered retirement income fund (“RRIF”) or similar registered plan or fund with a trustee, where the annuitant of the RRSP or RRIF, or the beneficiaries of another plan or fund are limited to the holders spouse, children or parents, or if the holder is the trustee of such registered plan or fund, to the annuitant of the RRSP or RRIF, or a beneficiary of the other registered plan or fund or his or her spouse, children or parents.
In addition, tenders of Escrowed Securities pursuant to a business combination, which includes a take-over bid, issuer bid, statutory arrangement, amalgamation, merger or other reorganization similar to an amalgamation or merger, are permitted. Escrowed Securities subject to a business combination will continue to be escrowed if the successor entity is not an “exempt issuer”, the holder is a principal of the successor entity; and the holder holds more than 1% of the voting rights of the successor entities’ outstanding securities.

Cease Trade Orders, Bankruptcies, Penalties or Sanctions
Cease Trade Orders
To the best of the Issuer's knowledge, none of the directors or executive officers of the Issuer is, or within the 10 years before the date of this Prospectus has been, a director or executive officer of any company that:
(a) was subject to a cease trade order or similar order or an order that denied the corporation access to any statutory exemptions for a period of more than 30 consecutive days (an "Order"), which was issued while the proposed director or executive officer was acting in the capacity as director, CEO or CFO; or
(b) was subject to an Order that was issued after the director or executive officer ceased to be a director, chief executive officer or chief financial officer and which resulted from an event that occurred while that person was acting in the capacity as director, CEO or CFO.
Bankruptcies
To the best of the Issuer's knowledge, no director or executive officer of the Issuer, or a shareholder holding a sufficient number of Common Shares to affect materially the control of the Issuer:
(a) is, as at the date of this Prospectus, or has been within the 10 years before the date of this Prospectus, a director or executive officer of any company (including the Issuer) that, while that person was acting in that capacity, or within a year of that person ceasing to act in that capacity, became bankrupt, made a proposal under any legislation relating to bankruptcy or insolvency or was subject to or instituted any proceedings, arrangement or compromise with creditors or had a receiver, receiver manager or trustee appointed to hold its assets; or
(b) has, within the 10 years before the date of this Prospectus, become bankrupt, made a proposal under any legislation relating to bankruptcy or insolvency, or become subject to or instituted any proceedings, arrangement or compromise with creditors, or had a receiver, receiver manager or trustee appointed to hold the assets of the director, executive officer or shareholder.

(b) any other penalties or sanctions imposed by a court or regulatory body that would likely be considered important to a reasonable investor in making an investment decision.
53
Conflicts of Interest
The directors of the Issuer are required by law to act honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Issuer and to disclose any interests, which they may have in any project or opportunity of the Issuer. If a conflict of interest arises at a meeting of the Board, any director in a conflict will disclose his interest and abstain from voting on such matter. Conflicts, if any, will be subject to the procedures and remedies as provided under the BCBCA.
To the best of the Issuer's knowledge, there are no known existing or potential conflicts of interest between the Issuer and its directors and officers except that certain of the directors and officers may serve as directors and/or officers of other companies, and therefore it is possible that a conflict may arise between their duties to the Issuer and their duties as a director or officer of such other companies.
The information as to ownership of securities of the Corporation, corporate cease trade orders or bankruptcies, penalties or sanctions, personal bankruptcies or insolvencies and existing or potential conflicts of interest has been provided by each insider of the Corporation individually in respect of himself or herself.
EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
Compensation Discussion and Analysis
The Issuer does not have a formal compensation program. The Board meets to discuss and determine management compensation, without reference to formal objectives, criteria or analysis. The general objectives of the Issuer's compensation strategy are to: (a) compensate management in a manner that encourages and rewards a high level of performance and outstanding results with a view to increasing long-term shareholder value; (b) align management's interests with the long-term interests of shareholders; (c) provide a compensation package that is commensurate with other mining companies to enable the Issuer to attract and retain talent; and (d) ensure that the total compensation package is designed in a manner that takes into account the constraints that the Issuer is under by virtue of the fact that it is a mining company without a history of earnings.
The Board, as a whole, ensures that total compensation paid to all Named Executive Officers ("NEOs"), as hereinafter defined, is fair and reasonable. A "Named Executive Officer" ("NEO") includes: (i) the Issuer’s CEO; (ii) the Issuer’s CFO; (iii) each of the three most highly compensated executive officers, other than the CEO and CFO, who were serving as executive officers as at the end of the most recently completed financial year of July 31, 2017, and whose total compensation was more than $150,000; and (iv) any additional individuals for whom disclosure would have been required except that the individual was not serving as an officer of the Issuer at the end of the most recently completed financial year. The Board relies on the experience of its members as officers and directors with other junior mining companies in assessing compensation levels.
Cash Salary
The Corporation’s compensation payable to the Named Executive Officers is based upon, among other things, the responsibility, skills and experience required to carry out the functions of each position held by each Named Executive Officer and varies with the amount of time spent by each Named Executive Officer in carrying out his or her functions on behalf of the Corporation. Base salary is used to provide the NEOs a set amount of money during the year with the expectation that each NEO will perform his responsibilities to the best of his ability and in the best interests of the Issuer.
54
In particular the Chief Executive Officer’s compensation will be determined by time spent on: (i) the Corporation’s current mineral property; (ii) reviewing potential mineral properties that the Corporation may acquire and negotiating, on behalf of the Corporation; and (iii) new business ventures. The Chief Financial Officer’s compensation is primarily determined by time spent in reviewing the Corporation’s financial statements.
Long Term Compensation and Option-Based Awards
The Issuer has no long-term incentive plans other than its Stock Option Plan. The Issuer 's directors, officers, employees and certain consultants are entitled to participate in the Stock Option Plan. The Stock Option Plan is designed to encourage share ownership and entrepreneurship on the part of the senior management and other employees. The Board believes that the Stock Option Plan aligns the interests of the NEO and the Board with shareholders by linking a component of executive compensation to the longer-term performance of the Common Shares.
Options are granted by the Board. In monitoring or adjusting the Option allotments, the Board takes into account its own observations on individual performance (where possible) and its assessment of individual contribution to shareholder value, previous Option grants and the objectives set for the NEOs and the Board. The scale of Options is generally commensurate to the appropriate level of base compensation for each level of responsibility.
In addition to determining the number of Options to be granted pursuant to the methodology outlined above, the Board also makes the following determinations:
- (a) parties who are entitled to participate in the Stock Option Plan;
(b) the exercise price for each Option granted, subject to the provision that the exercise price cannot be lower than the prescribed discount permitted by the CSE from the market price on the date of grant;
- (c) the date on which each Option is granted;
(d) the vesting period, if any, for each Option;
- (e) the other material terms and conditions of each Option grant; and
(f) any re-pricing or amendment to an Option grant.
The Board makes these determinations subject to and in accordance with the provisions of the Stock Option Plan. The Board reviews and approves grants of Options on an annual basis and periodically during a financial year.
As of the date hereof, the Corporation has not granted any options to its directors and officers. See “Options to Purchase Securities” above.
Employment and Consulting Agreements
The Corporation has not entered into written employment or consulting agreements with its Chief Executive Officer and its Chief Financial Officer.

Corporate Governance
Corporate governance relates to the activities of the Board of Directors, the members of which are elected by and are accountable to the shareholders and takes into account the role of the individual members of management who are appointed by the Board of Directors and who are charged with the day-to-day management of the Corporation. The Board of Directors is committed to sound corporate governance practices, which are both in the interest of its shareholders and contribute to effective and efficient decision making.
The Corporation’s corporate governance practices are summarized below:
Board of Directors
The Board of Directors is currently comprised of three members. The rules of the Exchange do not have independent director requirements. An “independent” director is a director who has no direct or indirect material
59
relationship with the Corporation. A material relationship is a relationship, which could, in the view of the Board of Directors, reasonably interfere with the exercise of a director’s independent judgment. Barry Hartley and Brent Hahn are independent directors of the Corporation, as aside from Common Shares held by them they have no ongoing interest or relationship with the Corporation other than serving as directors. Brent Hahn is not an independent director because of his position as executive officer and President of the Corporation.
Directorships
All three directors are directors of other companies as follows:
| Brent Hahn | Ivor Exploration Inc., Waraba Gold Limited, Zenith Exploration Inc. |
|---|---|
| David Eaton | Jayden Resources Inc., Vapen MJ Ventures Corporation, VEXT Science, Inc. |
| Jesse Hahn | High Point Exploration Inc., Top Exploration Inc., Zenith Exploration Inc. |
| James McCrea | Ardonblue Ventures Inc., High Point Exploration Inc., Juggernaut Exploration Ltd., Zenith Exploration Inc. |
Orientation and Continuing Education
The Board of Directors provides an overview of the Corporation’s business activities; systems and business plan to all new directors. New director candidates have free access to any of the Corporation’s records, employees or senior management in order to conduct their own due diligence and will be briefed on the strategic plans, short, medium and long term corporate objectives, business risks and mitigation strategies, corporate governance guidelines and existing policies of the Corporation. The Directors are encouraged to update their skills and knowledge by taking courses and attending professional seminars.
Ethical Business Conduct
The Board of Directors believes good corporate governance is an integral component to the success of the Corporation and to meet responsibilities to shareholders. Generally, the Board of Directors has found that the fiduciary duties placed on individual directors by the Corporation’s governing corporate legislation and the common law and the restrictions placed by applicable corporate legislation on an individual director’s participation in decisions of the Board of Directors in which the director has an interest have been sufficient to ensure that the Board of Directors operates independently of management and in the best interests of the Corporation.
The Board of Directors is also responsible for applying governance principles and practices, and tracking development in corporate governance, and adapting “best practices” to suit the needs of the Corporation. Certain of the Directors of the Corporation may also be directors and officers of other companies, and conflicts of interest may arise between their duties. Such conflicts must be disclosed in accordance -with and are subject to such other procedures and remedies as applicable under the BCA.
Nomination of Directors
The Board of Directors has not formed a nominating committee or similar committee to assist the Board of Directors with the nomination of directors for the Corporation. The Board of Directors considers itself too small to warrant creation of such a committee; and each of the Directors has contacts he can draw upon to identify new members of the Board of Directors as needed from time to time.
The Board of Directors will continually assess its size, structure and composition, taking into consideration its current strengths, skills and experience, proposed retirements and the requirements and strategic direction of the Corporation. As required, directors will recommend suitable candidates for consideration as members of the Board
60
of Directors.
Compensation
The Board of Directors reviews the compensation of its directors and executive officers annually. The Directors will determine compensation of directors and executive officers taking into account the Corporation’s business ventures and the Corporation’s financial position. See “Executive Compensation”.
Other Board Committees
The Corporation has established an Audit Committee. There are no other committees of the Board of Directors
Assessments
The Board of Directors has not implemented a process for assessing its effectiveness. As a result of the Corporation’s small size and the Corporation’s stage of development, the Board of Directors considers a formal assessment process to be inappropriate at this time. The Board of Directors plans to continue evaluating its own effectiveness on an ad hoc basis.
The Board of Directors does not formally assess the performance or contribution of individual Board members or committee members.
Listing of Common Shares on the Exchange
The Corporation has applied to list its Common Shares on the Exchange. Listing of the Common Shares is subject to the Corporation fulfilling all the listing requirements of the Exchange.
As of the date of this prospectus, the Corporation does not have any of its securities listed or quoted, has not applied to list or quote any of its securities, and does not intend to apply to list or quote any of its securities on the Toronto Stock Exchange, Aequitas NEO Exchange Inc., a U.S. marketplace, or a marketplace outside Canada and the United States of America (other than the Alternative Investment Market of the London Stock Exchange or the PLUS markets operated by PLUS Markets Group plc).
RISK FACTORS
An investment in the Corporation is speculative and involves a high degree of risk. Accordingly, prospective investors should carefully consider the specific risk factors set out below, in addition to the other information contained in this document, before making any decision to invest in the Corporation. The Directors consider the following risks and other factors to be the most significant for potential investors in the Corporation, but the risks listed do not necessarily comprise all those associated with an investment in the Corporation and are not set out in any particular order of priority. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to the Directors may also have an adverse effect on the Corporation’s business.
If any of the following risks actually occur, the Corporation’s business, financial condition, capital resources, results or future operations could be materially adversely affected. In such a case, the price of the Common Shares could decline and investors may lose all or part of their investment.
61
Substantial Number of Authorized but Unissued Shares
The Corporation has an unlimited number of Common Shares that may be issued by the Board of Directors without further action or approval of the Corporation’s shareholders. While the Board of Directors is required to fulfill its fiduciary obligations in connection with the issuance of such shares, the shares may be issued in transactions with which not all shareholders agree, and the issuance of such shares will cause dilution to the ownership interests of the Corporation’s shareholders.
Dilution
The financial risk of the Corporation’s future activities will be borne to a significant degree by purchasers of the Common Shares. If the Corporation issues Common Shares from its treasury for financing purposes, control of the Corporation may change and purchasers may suffer additional dilution.
No Market for Securities
There is currently no market through which any of the Common Shares, may be sold and there is no assurance that such securities of the Corporation will be listed for trading on a stock exchange, or if listed, will provide a liquid market for such securities. Until the Common Shares are listed on a stock exchange, holders of the Common Shares may not be able to sell their Common Shares. Even if a listing is obtained, there can be no assurance that an active public market for the Common Shares will develop or be sustained after completion of the Offering. The offering price determined by negotiation between the Corporation and the Agent was based upon several factors and may bear no relationship to the price that will prevail in the public market. The holding of Common Shares involves a high degree of risk and should be undertaken only by investors whose financial resources are sufficient to enable them to assume such risks and who have no need for immediate liquidity in their investment. Common Shares should not be purchased by persons who cannot afford the possibility of the loss of their entire investment.
Negative Cash Flow from Operating Activities
The Corporation has no history of earnings and had negative cash flow from operating activities since inception. The McGill Property are in the exploration stage and there are no known mineral resources or reserves and the proposed exploration program on the McGill Property is exploratory in nature. Significant capital investment will be required to achieve commercial production from the Corporation’s existing projects. There is no assurance that the McGill Property will generate earnings, operate profitably or provide a return on investment in the future. Accordingly, the Corporation will be required to obtain additional financing in order to meet its future cash commitments.
Current Market Volatility
The securities markets in the United States and Canada have recently experienced a high level of price and volume volatility, and the market prices of securities of many companies have experienced wide fluctuations in price which have not necessarily been related to the operating performance, underlying asset values or prospects of such companies. There can be no assurance that continual fluctuations in price will not occur. It may be anticipated that any market for the Common Shares will be subject to market trends generally, notwithstanding any potential success of the Corporation. The value of the Common Shares distributed hereunder will be affected by such volatility.
62
Use of Funds
The Corporation has prepared a detailed budget setting out the way in which it proposes to expend the funds. However, the quantum and timing of expenditure will necessarily be dependent upon receiving positive results from the Corporation’s exploration activities on the McGill Property. As the Corporation conducts its exploration program, it is possible that results and circumstances may dictate a departure from the pre-existing budget. Further, the Corporation may, from time to time as opportunities arise, utilise part of its financial resources to participate in additional opportunities that arise and fit within the Corporation’s broader objectives, as a means of advancing shareholder value.
No Production History
The McGill Property are non-producing properties and its ultimate success will depend on its operating ability to generate cash flow from producing properties in the future. The Corporation has not generated any revenue to date and there is no assurance that it will do so in the future.
The Corporation’s business operations are at an early stage of development and its success will be largely dependent upon the outcome of the exploration programs that the Corporation proposes to undertake.
Limited Operating History
The Corporation has no properties producing positive cash flow and its ultimate success will depend on its ability to generate cash flow from producing properties in the future. The Corporation has not earned profits to date and there is no assurance that it will do so in the future. Significant capital investment will be required to achieve commercial production from the Corporation’s existing projects. There is no assurance that the Corporation will be able to raise the required funds to continue these activities.
Exploration, Mining and Operational Risks
The business of exploring for and mining minerals involves a high degree of risk. Few properties that are explored are ultimately developed into producing mines. At present, the McGill Property do not have any known mineral resources or reserves and the proposed exploration and drilling programs are an exploratory search for such mineral resources or reserves.
The Corporation’s operations are subject to all the hazards and risks normally associated with the exploration, development and mining of minerals, any of which could result in risk to life, to property, or to the environment. The Corporation’s operations may be subject to disruptions caused by unusual or unexpected formations, formation pressures, fires, power failures and labour disputes, flooding, explosions, cave-ins, landslides, the inability to obtain suitable or adequate equipment, machinery, labour or adverse weather conditions. The availability of insurance for such hazards and risks is extremely limited or uneconomical at this time.
In the event the Corporation is fortunate enough to discover a mineral deposit, the economics of commercial production depend on many factors, including the cost of operations, the size and quality of the mineral deposit, proximity to infrastructure, financing costs and Government regulations, including regulations relating to prices, taxes, royalties, land tenure, land use, importing and exporting minerals and environmental protection. The effects of these factors cannot be accurately predicted, but any combination of these factors could adversely affect the economics of commencement or continuation of commercial mineral production.
63
Mining Claims
The Corporation’s prospecting activities are dependent upon the grant of appropriate mineral tenures and regulatory comments, which may be withdrawn or made subject to limitations. Mineral claims are renewable subject to certain expenditure requirements. Although the Corporation believes that it will obtain the necessary prospecting licenses and permits, including but not limited to drill permits, there can be no assurance that they will be granted or as to the terms of any such grant. Furthermore, the Corporation is required to expend required amounts on the mineral claims of the McGill Property in order to maintain them in good standing. If the Corporation is unable to expend these amounts, the Corporation may lose its title thereto on the expiry date(s) of the relevant mineral claims on the McGill Property. There is no assurance that, in the event of losing its title to mineral claims, the Corporation will be able to register the mineral claims in its name without a third party registering its interest first.
Land Claims
Aboriginal rights may be claimed on Crown properties or other types of tenure with respect to which mining rights have been conferred. The Supreme Court of Canada's recent decision in Tsilhqot'in Nation v. British Columbia marked the first time in Canadian history that a court has declared Aboriginal title to lands outside of a reserve. The Corporation is not aware of any Aboriginal land claims having been asserted or any legal actions relating to first nation issues having been instituted with respect to any of the land, which is covered by the McGill Property. The legal basis of a land claim is a matter of considerable legal complexity and the impact of a land claim settlement and self-government agreements cannot be predicted with certainty. In the event that aboriginal title is asserted and proved on the McGill Property, provincial and federal laws will continue to be valid provided that any infringements of aboriginal title, including mining and exploration are either consented to by Aboriginal groups or are justified. However, no assurance can be given that a broad recognition of aboriginal rights by way of a negotiated settlement or judicial pronouncement would not have an adverse effect on the Corporation’s activities. Such impact could be marked and, in certain circumstances, could delay or even prevent the Corporation’s exploration or mining activities.
Assurance of Title
The Corporation has taken all reasonable steps to attempt to ensure that proper title to the McGill Property has been obtained and that all grants of such rights thereunder, if any, have been registered with the appropriate public offices. Despite the due diligence conducted by the Corporation, there is no guarantee that title to such McGill Property will not be challenged or impugned. The Corporation’s mineral property interests may be subject to prior unregistered agreements or transfers or aboriginal land claims and title may be affected by undetected defects.
Possible Loss of Interests in McGill Property
The McGill Option Agreement pursuant to which the Corporation acquired its interest in the McGill Property requires the Corporation to make a series of payments in cash and to issue Common Shares over certain time periods and expend certain minimum amounts on the exploration of the McGill Property. If the Corporation fails to make such payments or expenditures within the prescribed time periods, the Corporation may lose its interest in the McGill Property without any recourse.
64
Possible Failure to Obtain Mining Licenses
Even if the Corporation does complete the required exploration activities on the McGill Property, it may not be able to obtain the necessary licences or permits to conduct mining operations, and thus would realize no benefit from such exploration activities.
Competition
The Corporation competes with numerous other companies and individuals possessing greater financial resources and technical facilities than itself in the search for, and acquisition of, mineral claims, leases and other mineral interests, as well as the recruitment and retention of suitably qualified individuals.
Conflicts of Interest
All of the Corporation’s Directors and officers act as directors and/or officers of other mineral exploration companies. As such, the Corporation’s Directors and officers may be faced with conflicts of interests when evaluating alternative mineral exploration opportunities. In addition, the Corporation’s Directors and officers may prioritize the business affairs of another corporation over the affairs of the Corporation.
Personnel
The Corporation has a small management team and the loss of any key individual could affect the Corporation’s business. Additionally, the Corporation will be required to secure other personnel to facilitate its exploration program on the McGill Property. Any inability to secure and/or retain appropriate personnel may have a materially adverse impact on the business and operations of the Corporation.
Volatility of Commodity Prices
The market prices of commodities, including gold and silver, are volatile and are affected by numerous factors, which are beyond the Corporation’s control. These factors include international supply and demand, consumer product demand, international economic trends, currency exchange rate fluctuations, interest rates, inflation, global or regional political events, as well as a range of other market forces. Sustained downward movements in commodity prices, including gold or silver, could render less economic, or uneconomic, some or all of the exploration activities to be undertaken by the Corporation.
Environmental Risks and Other Regulatory Requirements
Inherent with mining operations is an environmental risk. The current or future operations of the Corporation, including exploration and development activities and commencement of production on the McGill Property, require permits from various governmental authorities. Such operations are governed by laws and regulations that govern prospecting, mining, development, production, taxes, labour standards, occupational health, waste disposal, toxic substances, land use, environmental protection, mine safety, and other matters. Companies engaged in the development and operation of mines and related facilities generally experience increased costs and delays in production as a result of needing to comply with applicable laws, regulations and permits. There can be no assurance that all permits that the Corporation requires for future, exploration, development, construction and operation of mining facilities and the conduct of mining operations will be obtainable on reasonable terms or that such laws and regulations would not have an adverse effect on the operations of the Corporation.
65
The legal framework governing this area is constantly developing, therefore the Corporation is unable to fully ascertain any future liability that may arise from the implementation of any new laws or regulations, although such laws and regulations are typically strict and may impose severe penalties (financial or otherwise). The proposed activities of the Corporation, as with any exploration, may have an environmental impact which may result in unbudgeted delays, damage, loss and other costs and obligations including, without limitation, rehabilitation and/or compensation. There is also a risk that the Corporation’s operations and financial position may be adversely affected by the actions of environmental groups or any other group or person opposed in general to the Corporation’s activities and, in particular, the proposed exploration and mining by the Corporation within the Province of British Columbia.
Uninsured Risks
The Corporation, as a participant in exploration and mining programs, may become subject to liability for hazards such as unusual geological or unexpected operating conditions that cannot be insured against or against which it may elect not to be so insured because of high premium costs or other reasons. The Corporation is currently uninsured against all such risks as such insurance is either unavailable or uneconomic at this time. The Corporation also currently has no keyman insurance or property insurance as such insurance is uneconomical at this time. The Corporation will obtain such insurance once it is available and, in the opinion of the Directors, economical to do so. The Corporation may incur a liability to third parties (in excess of any insurance coverage) arising from pollution or other damage or injury.
The Corporation is not insured against most environmental risks. Insurance against environmental risks has not been generally available to companies within the mining and exploration industry. Without such insurance, and if the Corporation does become subject to environmental liabilities, the costs of such liabilities would reduce or eliminate the Corporation’s available funds or could result in bankruptcy. Should the Corporation be unable to fully fund the remedial costs of an environmental problem, it may be required to enter into interim compliance measures pending completion of the required remedy.
Health and Safety Risks
A violation of health and safety laws, or the failure to comply with the instructions of relevant health and safety authorities, could lead to, among other things, a temporary cessation of activities on the McGill Property or any part thereof, a loss of the right to prospect for minerals, or the imposition of costly compliance procedures. This could have a material adverse effect on the Corporation’s operations and/or financial condition.
Tax Issues
Income tax consequences in relation to the securities offered will vary according to the circumstances of each purchaser. Prospective purchasers should seek independent advice from their own tax and legal advisers prior to subscribing for the securities.
Additional Requirements for Capital
Substantial additional financing will be required if the Corporation is to be successful in pursuing its ultimate strategy of discovering and extracting mineral resources. No assurances can be given that the Corporation will be able to raise the additional capital that it may require for its anticipated future operations. Commodity prices, environmental rehabilitation or restitution, revenues, taxes, transportation costs, capital expenditures, operating expenses, geological results and the political environment are all factors which will have an impact on the amount of additional capital that may be required. Any additional equity financing may be dilutive to investors and debt
66
financing, if available, may involve restrictions on financing and operating activities. There is no assurance that additional financing will be available on terms acceptable to the Corporation, if at all. If the Corporation is unable to obtain additional financing as needed, it may be required to reduce the scope of its operations or anticipated expansion, forfeit its interest in the McGill Property, incur financial penalties, or reduce or terminate its operations.
Smaller Companies
The share price of publicly traded smaller companies can be highly volatile. The value of the Common Shares may go down as well as up and, in particular, the share price may be subject to sudden and large falls in value given the restricted marketability of the Common Shares.
Liquidity of the Common Shares
Listing on the Exchange should not be taken as implying that there will be a liquid market for the Common Shares. Thus, an investment in the Common Shares may be difficult to realise. Investors should be aware that the value of the Common Shares may be volatile. Investors may, on disposing of Common Shares, realise less than their original investment, or may lose their entire investment. The Common Shares, therefore, may not be suitable as a short-term investment.
The market price of the Common Shares may not reflect the underlying value of the Corporation’s net assets. The price at which the Common Shares will be traded, and the price at which investors may realise their Common Shares, will be influenced by a large number of factors, some specific to the Corporation and its proposed operations, and some that may affect the sectors in which the Corporation operates. Such factors could include the performance of the Corporation’s operations, large purchases or sales of the Common Shares, liquidity or the absence of liquidity in the Common Shares, legislative or regulatory changes relating to the business of the Corporation, and general market and economic conditions.
General
Although management believes that the above risks fairly and comprehensibly illustrate all material risks facing the Corporation, the risks noted above do not necessarily comprise all those potentially faced by the Corporation as it is impossible to foresee all possible risks.
Although the Directors will seek to minimise the impact of the risk factors, an investment in the Corporation should only be made by investors able to sustain a total loss of their investment. Investors are strongly recommended to consult a person who specialises in investments of this nature before making any decision to invest.
COVID-19 Pandemic Risks
The Corporation’s business could be significantly adversely affected by the effects of any widespread global outbreak of contagious disease. A significant outbreak of contagious diseases in the human population could result in a widespread health crisis that could adversely affect the economies, industries and financial markets of many countries, resulting in an economic downturn and cancellation of mineral exploration projects that could affect the Corporation’s ability to conduct mineral exploration activities. In particular, the recent outbreak of the novel corona virus (“COVID-19”) has had a negative impact on global financial conditions, services, travel, manufacturing and exploration activities. The Corporation cannot accurately predict the impact COVID-19 will have on the Corporation’s ability to remain open in response to government public health efforts to contain
67
COVID-19 and to obtain financing or third parties’ ability to meet their obligations with the Corporation, including due to uncertainties relating to the ultimate geographic spread of the virus, the severity of the disease, the duration of the outbreak, the loss of work force and human lives, potential social unrest, and the length of travel and quarantine restrictions imposed by governments of affected countries; and future demand of minerals. In the event that the prevalence of the corona virus continues to increase (or fears in respect of the corona virus continue to increase), governments may increase regulations and restrictions regarding the flow of labour or products, and travel bans, and the Corporation’s operations, suppliers, service providers and ability to advance its projects and conduct mineral exploration activities could be adversely affected. In particular, should any employees or consultants of the Corporation become infected with COVID-19 or similar pathogens, it could have a material negative impact on the Corporation’s operations and prospects.

Prisma Capital Inc. Notes to the Condensed Interim Financial Statements For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 (Unaudited - Expressed in Canadian dollars)
1. Nature and continuance of operations
Prisma Capital Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated on March 21, 2018, under the laws of the Province of British Columbia, Canada. The Company is a private resource exploration company and is focused on the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral properties.
The head office, records office and registered address of the Company are located at 789 West Pender Street, Suite 1080, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada V6C 1H2.
These condensed interim financial statements have been prepared on the assumption that the Company will continue as a going concern, meaning it will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize assets and discharge liabilities in the ordinary course of operations. At March 31, 2021, the Company had not yet achieved profitable operations and had accumulated losses of $20,502 since its inception. The Company expects to incur further losses in the development of its business, all of which casts significant doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Different bases of measurement may be appropriate if the Company is not expected to continue operations for the foreseeable future. The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent upon the successful results from its business activities and its ability to attain profitable operations and generate funds there from and/or raise equity capital or borrowings sufficient to meet current and future obligations. These condensed interim financial statements do not give effect to adjustments to the carrying value and classification of assets and liabilities and related expense that would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. If the going concern assumption is not appropriate, material adjustments to the condensed interim financial statements could be required.
Since March 2020, the outbreak of the novel strain of coronavirus, specifically identified as “COVID- 19”, has resulted in governments worldwide enacting emergency measures to combat the spread of the virus. These measures, which include the implementation of travel bans, self-imposed quarantine periods and social distancing, have caused material disruption to businesses globally resulting in an economic slowdown. Global equity markets have experienced significant volatility and weakness. Governments and central banks have reacted with significant monetary and fiscal interventions designed to stabilize economic conditions. The duration and impact of the COVID-19 outbreak is unknown at this time, as is the efficacy of the government and central bank interventions. It is not possible to reliably estimate the length and severity of these developments and the impact on the financial results and condition of the Company and its operations in future periods.
2. Statement of compliance and basis of presentation
Statement of compliance
These condensed interim financial statements, including comparatives, have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standards 34 – Interim Financial Reporting using accounting policies consistent with IFRS as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board and interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee. The accounting policies and methods of computation applied by the Company in these condensed interim financial statements are the same as those applied in the Company’s annual financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2020.
Basis of presentation
These condensed interim financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis except for some financial instruments classified in accordance with measurements standards under IFRS. These condensed interim financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars unless otherwise specified.

2. Statement of compliance and basis of presentation (continued)
Significant accounting policies
The accounting policies followed by the Company are set out in Note 3 to the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020 and have been consistently followed in the preparation of these condensed interim financial statements.
The Company used the same accounting policies and methods of computation as in the audited annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020.
New accounting pronouncements
Other accounting standards or amendments to existing accounting standards that have been issued but have future effective dates are either not applicable or are not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s condensed interim financial statements.
3. Exploration and evaluation assets
McGillivray Property
On October 5, 2020, the Company entered into an option agreement to acquire 100% undivided interest in twenty (20) mineral claims comprising the property called “McGillivray” located near Lytton, in the Kamloops Mining Division of British Columbia.
In consideration for the 100% undivided interest in the property, the Company shall pay the aggregate sum of $212,500 which includes the deposit of $7,500, as paid at the time of signing of the agreement, issue to the optionor a total of 900,000 shares and complete a minimum expenditure, as per the below schedule:
| Date | Shares | Cash Payment | Expenditures | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| On signing | 100,000 | (issued) | $ | 7,500 |
(paid) | $ | 55,000 |

| Total | 900,000 | $ | 212,500 | $ | 155,000 |
Further, under the McGillivray option agreement, the Company and the optionor have also agreed upon a net smelter return royalty, pursuant to the terms and consideration of which the optionor shall receive a net smelter return royalty of 2% from the Company. On the commencement of commercial production, the net smelter return royalty shall be increased to 3%.

81
Prisma Capital Inc. Notes to the Condensed Interim Financial Statements For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 (Unaudited - Expressed in Canadian dollars)
6. Financial instruments
Fair value
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and accounts payable. The fair value of these financial instruments approximates their carrying values due to the short-term nature of these investments. All financial instruments are classified as Level 1.
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 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 provided 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 is not exposed to credit risk.
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 ensures that there are sufficient funds to meet its short-term business requirements, taking into account its anticipated cash flows from operations and its holdings of cash.
Historically, the Company's sole 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 significant equity funding. Liquidity risk is assessed as high.
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 interest rate risk.
Capital Management
The Company's policy is to maintain a strong capital base so as to maintain investor and creditor confidence and to sustain future development of the business. The capital structure of the Company consists of equity and cash.
There were no changes in the Company's approach to capital management during the quarter ended March 31, 2021.
The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.
7. Segmented information
The Company operates in a single reportable operating segment – exploration of mineral properties.

8. Subsequent event
Subsequent to March 31, 2021, the Company completed a non-brokered private placement by issuing 2,500,000 units of the Company at a price of $0.10 per unit for gross cash proceeds of $250,000. Each Unit consists of one
common share (the “Common Share”) and one common share purchase warrant (the “Warrant”) of the Company. Each Warrant shall entitle the holder to purchase one Common Share at a price of $0.15 per Common Share for a period of five years from the date of the issuance.

ADAM SUNG KIM LTD. CHARTERED PROFESSIONAL ACCOUNTANT
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
To: the Shareholders of Prisma Capital Inc.
Opinion
I have audited the financial statements of Prisma Capital Inc. (the “Company”), which comprise the statements of financial position as at December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, and the statements of loss and comprehensive loss, statements of cash flows and statements of changes in equity for the year ended December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
In my opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, and its financial performance and its cash flow for the years then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs).
Basis for Opinion
I conducted my audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. My responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the financial statements section of my report. I am independent of the Company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to my audit of the financial statements in Canada, and I have fulfilled my other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. I believe that the audit evidence I have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for my opinion.
Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern
I draw attention to Note 1 in the financial statements, which indicates that the Company incurred a net loss of $7,886 during the year ended December 31, 2020 and, as of that date, the Company had not yet achieved profitable operations, had accumulated losses of $7,921 since its inception, and expects to incur further losses in the development of its business. As stated in Note 1, these events or conditions, along with other matters as set forth in Note 1, indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. My opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with IFRS, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the 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 Financial Statements
My objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the 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 my 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 financial statements. As part of an audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards, I exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. I also:
85
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the 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 my 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 I conclude that a material uncertainty exists, I are required to draw attention in my auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify my opinion. My conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of my 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 financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the 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 business activities within the Company to express an opinion on the financial statements. I am responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audit. I remain solely responsible for my audit opinion.
I 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 I identify during my audit.
I also provide those charged with governance with a statement that I 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 my independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
The engagement partner on the audit resulting in this independent auditor’s report is Adam Kim, CPA, CA.

Prisma Capital Inc. Notes to the Financial Statements For the Years Ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 (Expressed in Canadian dollars)
1. Nature and continuance of operations
Prisma Capital Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated on March 21, 2018, under the laws of the Province of British Columbia, Canada. The Company is a private resource exploration company and is focused on the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral properties.
The head office, records office and registered address of the Company are located at 789 West Pender Street, Suite 1080, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada V6C 1H2.
These financial statements have been prepared on the assumption that the Company will continue as a going concern, meaning it will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize assets and discharge liabilities in the ordinary course of operations. At December 31, 2020, the Company had not yet achieved profitable operations and had accumulated losses of $7,921 since its inception. The Company expects to incur further losses in the development of its business, all of which casts significant doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Different bases of measurement may be appropriate if the Company is not expected to continue operations for the foreseeable future. The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent upon the successful results from its business activities and its ability to attain profitable operations and generate funds there from and/or raise equity capital or borrowings sufficient to meet current and future obligations. These financial statements do not give effect to adjustments to the carrying value and classification of assets and liabilities and related expense that would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. If the going concern assumption is not appropriate, material adjustments to the financial statements could be required.
Since March 2020, the outbreak of the novel strain of coronavirus, specifically identified as “COVID- 19”, has resulted in governments worldwide enacting emergency measures to combat the spread of the virus. These measures, which include the implementation of travel bans, self-imposed quarantine periods and social distancing, have caused material disruption to businesses globally resulting in an economic slowdown. Global equity markets have experienced significant volatility and weakness. Governments and central banks have reacted with significant monetary and fiscal interventions designed to stabilize economic conditions. The duration and impact of the COVID-19 outbreak is unknown at this time, as is the efficacy of the government and central bank interventions. It is not possible to reliably estimate the length and severity of these developments and the impact on the financial results and condition of the Company and its operations in future periods.
2. Statement of compliance and basis of presentation
Statement of compliance
These financial statements have been prepared in compliance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board and interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee.
Basis of presentation
These financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis except for some financial instruments classified in accordance with measurements standards under IFRS. These financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars unless otherwise specified.

Prisma Capital Inc. Notes to the Financial Statements For the Years Ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 (Expressed in Canadian dollars)
3. Significant accounting policies
Significant accounting judgments and estimates
The preparation of 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 financial statements and the reported revenues and expenses during the year. 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 valuation of share-based payments and recognition of deferred income tax.
Critical judgments exercised in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the financial statements are as follows:
Economic recoverability and probability of future economic benefits of mineral properties
Management has determined that mineral property costs incurred which were capitalized have future economic benefits and are economically recoverable. Management uses several criteria in its assessments of economic recoverability and probability of future economic benefits including geological and other technical information, history of conversion of mineral deposits to proven and probable reserves, scoping and feasibility studies, accessible facilities, existing permits and life of mine plans.
Income taxes
In assessing the probability of realizing income tax assets, management makes estimates related to expectations of future taxable income, applicable tax opportunities, expected timing of reversals of existing temporary differences and the likelihood that tax positions taken will be sustained upon examination by applicable tax authorities. In making its assessments, management gives additional weight to positive and negative evidence that can be objectively verified.
Financial instruments
The following is the Company’s new accounting policy for financial instruments under IFRS 9:
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 at 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:
Classification under IFRS 9
Cash Accounts payable and accrued liabilities
Amortized cost Amortized cost

3. Significant accounting policies ( continued)
Financial instruments (continued)
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 statements of 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 statements of 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 recognised in profit or loss. Other net gains and losses are recognised 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 recognised 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 recognised in OCI and are never reclassified to profit or loss.
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 statements of 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.
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 statements of comprehensive loss.
93
Prisma Capital Inc. Notes to the Financial Statements For the Years Ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 (Expressed in Canadian dollars)
3. Significant accounting policies (continued) Financial instruments (continued)
Financial liabilities
The Company derecognizes a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged or cancelled or expire. The Company also derecognizes a 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 or loss.
Exploration and evaluation assets
Exploration and evaluation expenditures relating to mineral properties include the costs of acquiring licenses, costs associated with exploration and evaluation activity, and the fair value (at acquisition date) of exploration and evaluation assets acquired in a business combination. Exploration and evaluation expenditures are capitalized. Costs incurred before the Company has obtained the legal rights to explore an area are recognized in profit or loss.
Government tax credits received are recorded as a reduction to the cumulative costs incurred and capitalized on the related property.
Exploration and evaluation assets are assessed for impairment if (i) sufficient data exists to determine technical feasibility and commercial viability, or (ii) facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount.
Once the technical feasibility and commercial viability of the extraction of mineral resources in an area of interest are demonstrable, exploration and evaluation assets attributable to that area of interest are first tested for impairment and then reclassified to mining property and development assets within property, plant and equipment.
Recoverability of the carrying amount of any exploration and evaluation assets is dependent on successful development and commercial exploitation, or alternatively, sale of the respective areas of interest.
From time to time, the Company acquires or disposes of properties pursuant to the terms of option agreements. Options are exercisable entirely at the discretion of the optionee and, accordingly, are recorded as mineral property costs or recoveries when the payments are made or received. After costs are recovered, the balance of the payments received is recorded as a gain on disposition of a mineral property. Any revenue, including the receipt of fees and similar payments, earned prior to the commencement of commercial production, and reasonably attributable to the costs historically incurred on a property, is also offset against those costs as received.
The Company capitalizes all costs, net of any recoveries, of acquiring, exploring and evaluating an exploration and evaluation asset, until the right to which they relate is placed into production, at which time these deferred
costs will be amortized over the estimated useful life of the right upon commissioning the property, or written-off if the right is disposed of, impaired or abandoned.
Management reviews the carrying amounts of mineral rights annually or when there are indicators of impairment and will recognize impairment based upon current exploration results and upon assessment of the probability of profitable exploitation of the rights.
An indication of impairment includes but is not limited to expiration of the right to explore, absence of planned or budgeted substantive expenditure in the specific area, and the decision to discontinue exploration activity in a specific area.
94
Prisma Capital Inc. Notes to the Financial Statements For the Years Ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 (Expressed in Canadian dollars)
3. Significant accounting policies (continued) Impairment of assets
The carrying amount of the Company’s assets (which include exploration and evaluation 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 income and comprehensive income.
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.
Leases
On January 1, 2020, the Company adopted IFRS 16. IFRS 16 – Leases is a new standard which sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both the lessee and the lessor. It introduces a single lessee accounting model that requires the recognition of all assets and liabilities arising from the lease. The adoption of IFRS 16 did not have a material impact on the financial statements as the Company has no leases.
Share-based payments
Share-based payments to employees are measured at the fair value of the instruments issued and amortized 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 corresponding amount is recorded to reserves. The fair value of options is determined using the Black–Scholes Option Pricing Model. The number of shares and options expected to vest is reviewed and adjusted at the end of each reporting period such that the amount recognized for services received as consideration for the equity instruments granted shall be based on the number of equity instruments that eventually vest.
Loss per share
Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing the loss attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding in the period. For all periods presented, the loss attributable to common shareholders equals the reported loss attributable to owners of the Company. Diluted loss per share is calculated by the treasury stock method. Under the treasury stock method, the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the calculation of diluted loss per share assumes that the proceeds to be received on the exercise of dilutive share options and warrants are used to repurchase common shares at the average market price during the period.
95
Prisma Capital Inc. Notes to the Financial Statements For the Years Ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 (Expressed in Canadian dollars)
3. Significant accounting policies (continued)
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 income tax is provided using the asset and liability method on temporary differences at the reporting date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes.
The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and recognized only to the extent that it is probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax asset to be utilized.
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.
Deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities are offset, if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current income tax liabilities and the deferred income taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.
4. Exploration and evaluation assets
McGillivray Property
On October 5, 2020, the Company entered into an option agreement to acquire 100% undivided interest in twenty (20) mineral claims comprising the property called “McGillivray” located near Lytton, in the Kamloops Mining Division of British Columbia.
In consideration for the 100% undivided interest in the property, the Company shall pay the aggregate sum of $212,500 which includes the deposit of $7,500, as paid at the time of signing of the agreement, issue to the optionor a total of 900,000 shares and complete a minimum expenditure, as per the below schedule:

Prisma Capital Inc. Notes to the Financial Statements For the Years Ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 (Expressed in Canadian dollars)
8. Financial instruments
Fair value
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities. The fair value of these financial instruments approximates their carrying values due to the short-term nature of these investments. All financial instruments are classified as Level 1.
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 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 provided 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 is not exposed to credit risk.
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 ensures that there are sufficient funds to meet its short-term business requirements, taking into account its anticipated cash flows from operations and its holdings of cash.
Historically, the Company's sole 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 significant 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 interest rate risk.
Capital Management
The Company's policy is to maintain a strong capital base so as to maintain investor and creditor confidence and to sustain future development of the business. The capital structure of the Company consists of equity and cash.
There were no changes in the Company's approach to capital management during the year ended December 31, 2020.
The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.
9. Segmented information
The Company operates in a single reportable operating segment – exploration of mineral properties.
10. Subsequent Events
Subsequent to December 31, 2020, the Company completed a non-brokered private placement by issuing 2,500,000 units of the Company at a price of $0.10 per unit for gross cash proceeds of $250,000. Each Unit consists of one common share (the “Common Share”) and one common share purchase warrant (the “Warrant”) of the Company. Each Warrant shall entitle the holder to purchase one Common Share at a price of $0.15 per Common Share for a period of five years from the date of the issuance.
