Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Three Months Ended May 31, 2021 (Expressed in Canadian Dollar) (Unaudited)
NOTE 1 – NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND ABILITY TO CONTINUE AS A GOING CONCERN
Great Atlantic Resources Corp. ("Great Atlantic" or the "Company") was incorporated in British Columbia on February 24, 1997, as J.P.T. Resources Ltd. and changed its name to Horizon Industries Ltd. on June 7, 1999. The Company changed its name again on February 13, 2009, to Petro Horizon Energy Corp. and on April 30, 2010, changed its name to Greenlight Resources Inc. On June 19, 2012, the Company changed its name to Great Atlantic Resources Corp.
The Company is currently engaged in the acquisition, exploration, and evaluation of its mineral property interests located in Atlantic Canada. The Company's shares are listed on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol GR and the head office, principal address, and registered office is located at 888 Dunsmuir Street, Suite 888, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards on the basis that the Company is a going concern and will be able to meet its obligations and continue its operations for its next fiscal year. Several conditions as set out below cast uncertainties on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the financial support from its shareholders and other related parties, its ability to obtain financing for the continuing exploration and development of its resource properties, the existence of economically recoverable reserves, and the attainment of profitable operations or proceeds from disposition of these properties.
The Company has not yet achieved profitable operations and has an accumulated deficit of $20,849,352 and a working capital of $1,496,849 as at May 31, 2021; accordingly, the Company will need to raise additional funds through future issuance of securities or debt financing. Although the Company has raised funds in the past, there can be no assurance the Company will be able to raise sufficient funds in the future, in which case the Company may be unable to meet its obligations as the come due in the normal course of business. It is not possible to predict whether financing efforts will be successful or if the Company will attain a profitable level of operations.
The Company is in the process of exploring and developing its exploration and evaluation assets and has not yet determined whether the properties contain mineral reserves that are economically recoverable. The recoverability of the amounts shown for exploration and evaluation assets are dependent upon the existence of economically recoverable mineral reserves, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing to complete the development of those mineral reserves, and future production or proceeds from the disposition thereof.
The current cash resources are not adequate to pay the Company's accounts payable and to meet its minimum commitments at the date of these financial statements, including planned corporate and administrative expenses, and other project implementation costs, accordingly, there is significant doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not give effect to adjustments that would be necessary to the carrying amounts and classifications of assets and liabilities should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

NOTE 8 – EXPLORATION AND EVALUATION ASSETS (Continued)
Title to mineral properties involves certain inherent risks due to the difficulties of determining the validity of certain claims as well as the potential for problems arising from the frequently ambiguous conveyancing history characteristic of many mineral properties. The Company has investigated title to all of its mineral properties and, to the best of its knowledge, title to all of its properties are in good standing. All properties are located in Canada.
a) Glenelg Vanadium Property, New Brunswick, Canada
During the fiscal year 2019, the Company acquired, through an option agreement and by staking, the Glenelg Vanadium Property, located in southwest New Brunswick. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company may earn in a 100% interest in the property by making certain staged cash payments to the vendor over a five-year period as follows: (i) $10,000 in cash (paid); (ii) $15,000 in cash on or before the first anniversary of the approval date (paid); (iii) $30,000 in cash on or before the second anniversary of the approval date (paid); (iv) $30,000 in cash on or before the third anniversary of the approval date; and (v) $40,000 on or before the fourth anniversary of the approval date; and (vi) $50,000 on or before the fifth anniversary of the approval date.
In the event the Company exercises the Option and acquires a 100% right, title and interest in and to the property, the vendor will be entitled to receive a 2.0% NSR, payable upon the commencement of commercial production. The Company has the right to purchase one-half of the NSR from the vendor at any time by paying to the vendor $1,000,000, leaving the vendor with a 1.0% remaining NSR.
b) Kagoot Brook Cobalt Property, New Brunswick, Canada
During the year ended February 28, 2018, the Company entered into an option agreement whereby the Company was granted an option to acquire 100% interest in the Kagoot Brook Cobalt Property located in North-Central New Brunswick. In consideration, the Company agreed to pay the vendor $15,000 in cash (paid) and issue 15,000 shares fair valued at $15,000 (issued) within ten days upon regulatory approval. The Company will also make payments to the vendors totaling $125,000 cash and issue 15,000 in shares over the next four years. During the year ended February 28, 2019, the Company made cash payments of $15,000 and issued 15,000 shares with a fair market value of $7,500. During the year ended February 29, 2020, the Company made cash payments of $30,000.
There is a 2% net smelter royalty payable to the property owner with the Company retaining the right to purchase one percent for $500,000 upon the commencement of commercial production.
On May 10, 2018, the Company entered into a letter of intent with Explorex Resources Inc. whereby Explorex will acquire a 75-per-cent interest in the Kagoot Brook cobalt project.
The Kagoot Brook property is 100 per cent owned by Great Atlantic and is subject to an underlying agreement with a prospecting syndicate. The agreement to acquire a 75-per-cent interest in the project is subject to the following terms:
- Cash payment of $25,000 (received) and issuance of $75,000 shares upon signing a definitive agreement. In September 2018, the Company received 75,000 shares with a fair market value of $21,750. A cash payment of $15,000 was also received in January 2019.
- Issuing $50,000 in shares on the 12-month anniversary of the definitive agreement; the number of shares to be issued will be based on the 10-day VWAP (volume-weighted average price) immediately prior to the anniversary date. On July 8, 2019, the Company received 197,904 shares of Explorex Resources Inc. with a market value of $49,476.
- Explorex will incur a total expenditure of $750,000 (including all underlying payments) over a period of four years; of which $100,000 will be a firm commitment on or before the first anniversary of the definitive agreement.
Upon earning 75 per cent of the project, the parties will enter into a joint venture. The terms will provide for a pro rata dilution such that should Great Atlantic's interest drop below 5 per cent, it will revert to a 3-per-cent net smelter return. Explorex will retain the right to buy back two percentage points at $1 million for each 1 per cent, or portion thereof. Should Great Atlantic seek to sell any portion of the remaining NSR, Explorex will retain a first right of refusal.

c) Keymet Property, New Brunswick, Canada
During the year ended February 28, 2012, the Company completed an option agreement whereby the Company was granted an option to acquire a 100% interest in the Keymet Property, located northwest of Bathurst, New Brunswick.

NOTE 14 – CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it, based on the funds available to the Company, in order to support the acquisition, exploration, and development of resource properties. The Board of Directors does not establish quantitative return on capital criteria for management, but rather relies on the expertise of the Company's management to sustain future development of the business.
The Company manages its share capital as capital, which as at May 31, 2021 was $21,649,833 (February 28, 2021 – $20,835,943). Management reviews its capital management approach on an ongoing basis and believes that this approach, given the relative size of the Company, is reasonable.
The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements. There were no changes in the Company's approach to capital management during the year ended February 28, 2021, nor during the period ended May 31, 2021.
NOTE 15 – FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The fair value of the Company's loans payable amounts, due from/to related parties, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities, approximate their carrying value, which is the amount recorded on the statements of financial position. The Company's other financial instruments, cash and marketable securities under the fair value hierarchy are recorded at fair value based on level one quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
The Company's risk exposures and the impact on the Company's financial instruments are summarized below:
a) Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk of loss associated with counterparty's inability to fulfill its payment obligations. The Company's credit risk is primarily attributable to amounts receivable. Management believes that the credit risk concentration with respect to financial instruments included in amounts receivable is not significant.
b) Liquidity Risk
The Company's approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet liabilities when due. As at May 31, 2021, the Company has a working capital of $1,496,849. All of the Company's financial liabilities have contractual maturities of less than 30 days and are subject to normal trade terms. The Company will be required to fund these liabilities through the issuance of capital stock and loans from related parties over the coming year.
c) Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that future cash flows will fluctuate as a result of changes in market interest rates. Loans payable accrue interest at 10%, and/or are non-interest bearing. Based on forecast interest rate movements and due to the short-term nature of these financial instruments, fluctuations in market rates are not expected to have a significant impact on estimated fair values.
d) Price Risk
The Company is exposed to price risk with respect to commodity and equity prices. Equity price risk is defined as the potential adverse impact on the Company's earnings due to movements in individual equity prices or general movements in the level of the stock market. Commodity price risk is defined as the potential adverse impact on earnings and economic value due to commodity price movements and volatilities. The Company closely monitors commodity prices, individual equity movements, and the stock market to determine the appropriate course of action to be taken by the Company.
