GSP RESOURCE CORP Notes to Condensed Interim Financial Statements November 30, 2020 Expressed in Canadian dollars [Unaudited – prepared by management]
1. Nature and Continuance of Operations and Going Concern
GSP Resource Corp. (the “Company”) was incorporated on February 19, 2018 under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) under the name GSP Resource Corp. The Company’s principal business activity is the exploration of mineral properties. The Company currently conducts substantially all of its operations in Canada in one business segment.
The head office and principal address of the Company is located at 1610 – 777 Dunsmuir Street, Vancouver, B.C., V7Y 1K4.
The Company has not yet determined whether its properties contain ore reserves that are economically recoverable. The recoverability of the amounts shown for mineral properties and exploration costs is dependent upon the existence of economically recoverable ore reserves, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing to complete the exploration and development of its properties, and upon future profitable production or proceeds from the disposal of properties.
These financial statements have been prepared using accounting principles applicable to a going concern which assumes the Company will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business rather than through a process of forced liquidation. The Company emphasises that attention should be drawn to matters and conditions that indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern the most significant of these being the Company’s ability to carry out its business objectives dependent on the Company’s ability to receive continued financial support from related parties, to obtain public equity financing, or to generate profitable operations in the future. Other uncertainties include the fact that the Company is currently in the exploration stage for its interests in the Olivine Mountain and Alwin properties in British Columbia, Canada (see Note 5), the economic viability of which have not been fully assessed. The Company has not yet determined whether these properties contain reserves that are economically recoverable. The recoverability of capitalized costs on the Olivine Mountain and Alwin properties is uncertain and dependent upon projects achieving commercial production or sale. The outcome of these matters cannot be predicted at this time. The Company is considering a number of alternatives to secure additional capital including obtaining funding facilities or equity financings. Although management intends to secure additional financing there is no assurance management will be successful or that it will establish future profitable operations.

| Deficit | $ (870,402) | $ (523,451) |
| Working capital | $ 996,181 | $ 595,216 |
If the going concern assumption was not appropriate for these financial statements then adjustments would be necessary to the carrying value of assets and liabilities, the reported expenses and the statement of financial position classifications used, and such amounts would be material.
In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of a novel coronavirus (COVID-19) as a pandemic. The Company has not yet experienced a material negative impact to its business, results of operations, or financial position as a result of COVID-19. The future financial effects to the Company, if any, of COVID-19 cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.

2. Significant Accounting Policies
Statement of Compliance
The condensed interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standard 34 – Interim Financial Reporting , using accounting policies consistent with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and Interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”). They do not include all of the information required for full annual financial statements.
The financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors of the Company on January 22, 2021.
Basis of presentation
These financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis except for certain financial instruments which are measured at their fair value as explained in the accounting policies set out below. In addition, these financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting.
Adoption of new accounting standards
The Company adopted the following new accounting standard and interpretation:
IFRS 9 Financial Instruments (Amendments)
In October 2017, the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) issued amendments to IFRS 9 Financial Instruments , incorporated into Part I of the CPA Canada Handbook – Accounting by the Accounting Standards Board (AcSB) in November 2017, to address the classification of certain prepayable financial assets.
The amendments clarify that a financial asset that would otherwise have contractual cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest but do not meet that condition only as a result of a prepayment feature with negative compensation may be eligible to be measured at either amortized cost or fair value through other comprehensive income. This classification is subject to the assessment of the business model in which the particular financial asset is held as well as consideration of whether certain eligibility conditions are met.
The amendments are adopted on June 1, 2019. The adoption of this standard did not have material impact on the Company’s financial statements or disclosures.
IFRS 16 Leases (New)
In January 2016, the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) issued a new International Financial Reporting Standard (IFRS) on lease accounting which was incorporated into Part I of the CPA Canada Handbook – Accounting by the Accounting Standards Board (AcSB) in June 2016. IFRS 16 supersedes IAS 17 Leases , IFRIC 4 Determining Whether an Arrangement Contains a Lease , SIC-15 Operating Leases - Incentives and SIC-27 Evaluating the Substance of Transactions Involving the Legal Form of a Lease .
GSP RESOURCE CORP Notes to Condensed Interim Financial Statements November 30, 2020 Expressed in Canadian dollars [Unaudited – prepared by management]
2. Significant Accounting Policies (cont’d…)
Adoption of new accounting standards (cont’d…)
IFRS 16 introduces a single lessee accounting model that requires a lessee to recognize assets and liabilities for all leases with a term of more than 12 months, unless the underlying asset is of low value. Lease assets and liabilities are initially recognized on a present value basis and subsequently, similarly to other non-financial assets and financial liabilities, respectively. The lessor accounting requirements are substantially unchanged and, accordingly, continue to require classification and measurement as either operating or finance leases. The new standard also introduces detailed disclosure requirements for both the lessee and lessor.
The amendments are adopted on June 1, 2019. The adoption did not have any impact on the Company’s financial statements or disclosures.
IFRIC 23 Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments (New)
In June 2017, the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) issued a new International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) interpretation, incorporated into Part I of the CPA Canada Handbook – Accounting by the Accounting Standards Board (AcSB) in September 2017, to specify how to reflect the effects of uncertainty in accounting for income taxes. IAS 12 Income Taxes provides requirements on the recognition and measurement of current or deferred income tax liabilities and assets. However, it does not provide a specific requirement for the accounting for income tax when the application of tax law to a particular transaction or circumstance is uncertain. As a result, the interpretation aims to reduce the diversity in how entities recognize and measure a tax liability or tax asset when there is uncertainty over income tax treatments.
The amendments are adopted on June 1, 2019. The adoption did not have any impact on the Company’s financial statements or disclosures.
Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting (Amendment)
In March 2018, the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) issued the revised Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting, incorporated into Part I of the CPA Canada Handbook – Accounting by the Accounting Standards Board (AcSB) in October 2018. This revised Conceptual Framework replaces the previous version of the Conceptual Framework issued in 2010. The Conceptual Framework assists entities in developing accounting policies when no IFRS Standard applies to a particular transaction and helps stakeholders to more broadly and better understand the standards.
The revised Conceptual Framework includes the following clarifications and updates:
-
A new chapter on measurement;
-
Guidance on reporting financial performance;
-
Improved definitions and guidance, particularly for the definition of a liability; and,
-
Clarifications in important areas such as the roles of stewardship, prudence and measurement uncertainty in financial reporting.
The amendments are adopted on June 1, 2020. The adoption did not have any impact on the Company’s financial statements or disclosures.

2. Significant Accounting Policies (cont’d…)
Adoption of new accounting standards (cont’d…)
IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosure (Amendment)
In September 2019, the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) issued amendments to IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures , which were incorporated into Part I of the CPA Canada Handbook – Accounting by the Accounting Standards Board (AcSB) in November 2019. The amendments to IFRS 7 arise as a result of amendments made to IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement and IFRS 9 Financial Instruments to provide temporary relief from applying specific hedge accounting requirements that could have resulted in the discontinuation of hedge accounting solely due to the uncertainty arising from interest rate benchmark reform. Accordingly, IFRS 7 has been amended to provide specific disclosure requirements regarding uncertainty arising from interest rate benchmark reform.
The amendments are adopted on June 1, 2020. The adoption did not have any impact on the Company’s financial statements or disclosures.
IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements (Amendment) and IAS 8 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors (Amendment)
In October 2018, the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) issued amendments to IAS 1 and IAS 8 which were incorporated into Part I of the CPA Canada Handbook – Accounting by the Accounting Standards Board (AcSB) in February 2019. The amendments clarify the definition of material and how it should be applied, as well as align the definition of material across IFRS standards and other publications. The amended definition of material states:
Information is material if omitting, misstating or obscuring it could reasonably be expected to influence the decisions that the primary users of general purpose financial statements make on the basis of those financial statements, which provide financial information about a specific reporting entity.
The amendments are adopted on June 1, 2020. The adoption did not have any impact on the Company’s financial statements or disclosures.
Cash
Cash consists of cash on hand and deposits in banks with no restrictions. Cash equivalents include money market instruments that are readily convertible to cash and have maturities at the date of purchase of less than ninety days. There were no cash equivalents as of November 30, 2020 and as of May 2020.
Exploration and evaluation assets
The Company is in the exploration stage with respect to its investment in mineral interests. Accordingly, once a license to explore an area has been secured, the Company follows the practice of capitalizing all costs relating to the acquisition of, exploration for and development of exploration and evaluation assets. Such costs include, but are not limited to, geological and geophysical studies, exploratory drilling and sampling. At such time as commercial production commences, these costs will be charged to operations on a unit-of-production method based on proven and probable resources. The aggregate costs related to abandoned exploration and evaluation assets are charged to operations at the time of any abandonment or when it has been determined that there is evidence of a permanent impairment.

2. Significant Accounting Policies (cont’d…)
Asset retirement obligation
Provisions for the decommissioning, restoration and rehabilitation are recognized in other liabilities when the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is more likely than not that an outflow of capital will be required to settle the obligation and the amount can be reliably estimated. Provisions are measured at management’s best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the obligation at the end of the reporting period and are discounted to present value where the effect is material. Upon initial recognition of the liability, the corresponding costs are added to the carrying amount of the related asset and amortized as an expense, using a systematic method, over the economic life of the asset. Following initial recognition of the asset retirement obligation, the carrying amount of the liability is adjusted annually for the passage of time and changes to the amount or timing of the underlying cash flows needed to settle the obligation. The Company performs evaluations to identify onerous contracts and, where applicable, records provisions for such contracts. The Company does not have any asset retirement obligation as of November 30, 2020 and as of May 31, 2020.
Reclamation bond
Reclamation bonds are required by the British Columbia Ministry of Energy and Mines and are represented by Guaranteed Interest Certificates (“GIC”) held in the Company’s name at a bank. The reclamation bonds cannot be withdrawn by the Company without the consent of the Ministry of Natural Resources.
Mining exploration tax credit
Mining tax credits are recorded as a reduction of the related deferred exploration expenditures upon receipts from the Canada Revenue Agency (“CRA”). These non-repayable mining credits are earned in respect to exploration costs incurred in British Columbia, Canada and are recorded as a reduction of the related exploration expenditures.
Related party transactions
Parties are considered to be related if one party has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operating decisions. Parties are also considered to be related if they are subject to common control, related parties may be individuals or corporate entities. A transaction is considered to be a related party transaction when there is a transfer of resources or obligations between related parties.
Share capital
Common shares are classified as equity. Transaction costs directly attributable to the issue of common shares and share purchase warrants are recognized as a deduction from equity, net of any tax effects.
The Company has adopted a residual value method with respect to the measurement of shares and warrants issued as private placement units. The residual value method first allocates value to the more easily measurable components based on fair value and then the residual value, if any, to the less easily measurable component.
The fair value of the common shares issued in private placements was determined to be the more easily measurable component and were valued at their fair value, as determined by the closing price on the issuance date, the balance, if any, was allocated to the attached warrants and recorded to reserves.
GSP RESOURCE CORP Notes to Condensed Interim Financial Statements November 30, 2020 Expressed in Canadian dollars [Unaudited – prepared by management]
2. Significant Accounting Policies (cont’d…)
Flow-through shares
Flow-through shares expenditure deductions for income tax purposes related to exploratory activities funded by flow-through equity instruments are renounced to investors in accordance with income tax legislation. The proceeds from issuance are allocated between the offering of shares and the sale of tax benefits. The allocation is made based on the difference between the quoted price of the existing shares and the amount the investor pays for the shares. A flow through share premium liability is recognized for this difference and included in deferred tax recovery at the time the qualifying expenditures are made.
A deferred tax liability equal to the tax value of flow-through expenditures renounced is recognized once the Company has fulfilled its obligations associated with the renunciation of related flow-through expenditures. In respect of a retrospective renunciation, such obligation is considered to have been fulfilled when eligible expenditures have been incurred and management establishes the intent to make renunciation filings with the appropriate taxation authorities. In respect of prospective renunciation (i.e., a look-back renunciation), the obligation is considered to be fulfilled once related flow-through expenditures have been incurred.
Share based payments
Share based payments to directors, officers and consultants are measured at the fair value of the goods or services received, unless that fair value cannot be estimated reliably, in which case the fair value of the equity instruments issued is used. The value of the goods or services is recorded at the earlier of the vesting date, or the date the goods or services are received. The corresponding amount is recorded to the contributed surplus. The Company applies the fair value method of accounting for share-based payments and the fair value is calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.
Loss per share
Basic loss per share is calculated using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is calculated giving effect to the potential dilution that would occur if securities or other contracts to issue common shares were exercised or converted to common shares using the treasury method. The treasury method assumes that proceeds received from the exercise of stock options and warrants are used to repurchase common shares at the prevailing market rate. Diluted loss per share is equal to the basic loss per share as the outstanding options and warrants are anti-dilutive.
Income taxes
Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax is recognized in the statement of loss and comprehensive loss except to the extent it relates to items recognized directly in equity.
Current tax expense is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at year end, adjusted for amendments to tax payable with regards to previous years.
Deferred tax is recognized using the liability method, providing for temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is not recognized on the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither accounting profit nor taxable profit (tax loss). In addition, deferred tax is not recognized for taxable temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of goodwill. Deferred tax is measured at the tax

2. Significant Accounting Policies (cont’d…)
rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they reverse, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset, and they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity, or on different tax entities, but they intend to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis or their tax assets and liabilities will be realized simultaneously.
A deferred tax liability equal to the tax value of flow-through expenditures renounced is recognized once the Company has fulfilled its obligations associated with the renunciation of related flow-through expenditures. In respect of a retrospective renunciation, such obligation is considered to have been fulfilled when eligible expenditures have been incurred and management establishes the intent to make renunciation filings with the appropriate taxation authorities. In respect of prospective renunciation (i.e., a look-back renunciation), the obligation is considered to be fulfilled once related flow-through expenditures have been incurred.
3. Significant accounting judgments and estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates, and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses, and related disclosure. Estimates and assumptions are continuously evaluated and are based on management’s experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
Judgment is used mainly in determining how a balance or transaction should be recognized in the financial statements. Estimates and assumptions are used mainly in determining the measurement of recognized transactions and balances. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Significant areas where management’s judgment has been applied include:
- Impairment of exploration and evaluation assets (E&E assets) In accordance with the Company’s accounting policy, the Company’s E&E assets are evaluated every reporting period to determine whether there are any indications of impairment. If any such indication exists, which is often judgmental, a formal estimate of recoverable amount is performed and an impairment loss is recognized to the extent that the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of an asset or cash generating group of assets is measured at the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use.
The evaluation of asset carrying values for indications of impairment includes consideration of both external and internal sources of information, including such factors as market and economic conditions, metal prices, future plans for the Company’s mineral properties and mineral resources and/or reserve estimates.
Management has assessed for impairment indicators for the Company’s E&E assets as of November 30, 2020 and 2019 and has concluded that no indicators of impairment were identified, and the Company plans to continue with its objective of developing the Olivine Mountain and Alwin Mineral Properties.

Going concern assessment
-
The assessment of the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and to raise sufficient funds to pay for its ongoing operating expenditures, meet its liabilities for the ensuring year as they fall due, and to fund planned and contractual exploration programs, involves judgment based on

historical experience and other factors including expectation of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
Significant areas requiring the use of management estimates and assumptions include:

9. Financial Instruments
Fair value of financial instruments
The Company applied the following fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value into three levels:
The three levels are defined as follows:
-
Level 1 – inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
-
Level 2 – inputs to valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.
-
Level 3 – inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement .
The Company’s financial instruments are cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and due to related parties. All these financial instruments are carried on the statements of financial position at amortized cost. The fair values of these financial instruments approximate their carrying value due to their short-term nature.
The Company’s financial instruments are exposed to certain financial risks, including liquidity risk, credit risk and interest rate risk.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not meet its financial obligations as they become due. Refer to Note 1 for further details related to the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern.
The Company’s approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet liabilities when due. As at November 30, 2020, the Company had a cash balance of $941,583 (May 31, 2020 - $524,187) to settle amounts due to related parties, accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $7,871 (May 31, 2020 - $14,007). All of the Company’s financial liabilities have contractual maturities of less than 30 days and are subject to normal trade terms.
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.

9. Financial Instruments
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty to a financial instrument will fail to discharge an obligation or commitment that it has entered into with the Company. The Company is exposed to credit-related losses in the event of non-performance by the counterparties. The carrying amounts of financial assets best represent the maximum credit risk exposure at the reporting date.
Cash is held with reputable banks in Canada. The long-term credit rating of these banks, as determined by Standard and Poor’s, was A+.
Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of financial instruments will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. An immaterial amount of interest rate exposure exists in respect of cash balances on the statement of financial position. As a result, the Company is not exposed to material cash flow interest rate risk on its cash balances.
10. 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 mineral 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 Olivine Mountain property and the Alwin property claims in which the Company currently has an interest are in the exploration stage, as such the Company has historically relied on the equity markets to fund its activities. In order to carry out the planned exploration and pay for administrative costs, the Company will spend its existing working capital and raise additional amounts as needed. The Company will continue to assess new properties and seek to acquire an interest in additional properties if it feels there is sufficient geologic or economic potential and if it has adequate financial resources to do so.
The capital structure of the Company consists of shareholder’s equity, comprising issued capital and deficit. The Company is not exposed to any externally imposed requirements. Management reviews its capital management approach on an ongoing basis and believes that this approach, given the relative size of the Company, is reasonable. There have been no changes to the Company’s approach to capital management during the years ended November 30, 2020 and 2019.
11. Subsequent events
See Olivine Mountain Property, Note 5.
Subsequent to November 30, 2020 the Company paid $25,000 and issued 200,000 common shares pursuant to the Company’s option agreement to acquire a 100% interest in the Alwin Property, Note 5.
