HELIOSTAR METALS LTD. (FORMERLY REDSTAR GOLD CORP.) NOTES TO THE CONDENSED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2021 AND 2020 (Presented in Canadian Dollars)

1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND CONTINUANCE OF OPERATIONS

Heliostar Metals Ltd. (formerly Redstar Gold Corp.) (the “Company”) is engaged in the acquisition, exploration, and development of mineral properties in North America. The Company is incorporated and domiciled in Canada under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia), and its registered office is Suite 900, 885 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, BC, V6C 3H1. The Company is trading on the TSX Venture Exchange (TSX-V) under the trading symbol “HSTR”.

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements (the “Financial Statements”) have been prepared on the basis of the accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which assumes the Company will be able to continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of operations.

The business of mining and exploration involves a high degree of risk and there can be no assurance that current exploration programs will result in profitable mining operations. The recoverability of exploration and evaluation expenditures is dependent upon several factors. These include the discovery of economically recoverable reserves, the ability of the Company to obtain the necessary financing to complete the development of these properties, and future profitable production or proceeds from disposition of mineral properties.

The Company has incurred operating losses since inception, has limited sources of revenue, is unable to self-finance operations and has significant cash requirements to meet its overhead and maintain its mineral interests.

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared coronavirus COVID-19 a global pandemic. This contagious disease outbreak, which has continued to spread, and any related adverse public health developments, has adversely affected workforces, economies, and financial markets globally, potentially leading to an economic downturn. It is not possible for the Company to predict the duration or magnitude of the adverse results of the outbreak and its effects on the Company’s business or ability to raise funds.

The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company’s ability to obtain additional debt or equity financing to successfully advance the exploration and development of mineral property interests in its exploration portfolio and to be able to derive material proceeds from the sale or divestiture of those properties and/or other assets, such as sale proceeds, royalty rights and equity interests. These Financial Statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. Such adjustments could be material. These material uncertainties may cast significant doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

HELIOSTAR METALS LTD. (FORMERLY REDSTAR GOLD CORP.) NOTES TO THE CONDENSED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2021 AND 2020 (Presented in Canadian Dollars)

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION – STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE

These Financial Statements, including comparatives, have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) and related IFRS Interpretations Committee (“IFRICs”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). The financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for financial instruments classified as financial instruments at fair value through profit and loss and fair value through other comprehensive income, which are stated at their fair value. In addition, these Financial Statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting except for cash flow information.

Since these Financial Statements do not include all disclosures required by IFRS for annual consolidated financial statements, they should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2021.

The preparation of Financial Statements in accordance with IAS1 requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgement in applying the Company’s accounting policies.

The preparation of the Financial Statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, profit and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgments about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an on-going basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and further periods if the review affects both current and future periods.

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accounting policies and methods of computation followed in preparing these Financial Statements are the same as those followed in preparing the most recent audited annual financial statements. For a complete summary of significant accounting policies, please refer to the Company’s audited annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2021. Certain comparative figures have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation.

HELIOSTAR METALS LTD. (FORMERLY REDSTAR GOLD CORP.) NOTES TO THE CONDENSED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2021 AND 2020 (Presented in Canadian Dollars)

4. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGMENTS

In the application of the Company’s accounting policies, which are described in note 3, management is required to make judgments, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount and classification of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an on-going basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revisions affect only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods, if the revision affects both current and future periods.

The following are the critical judgments and areas involving estimates, that management have made in the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies and that have the most significant effect on the amount recognized in the Financial Statements.

  • a) Key sources of estimation uncertainty

Share-based payments

Management assesses the fair value of stock options granted in accordance with the accounting policy stated in note 3. The fair value of stock options granted is measured using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which was created for use in estimating the fair value of freely tradable, fully transferable options. The Company’s stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and changes in the highly subjective input assumptions can materially affect the calculated values. The fair value of stock options granted using the Black-Scholes option pricing model do not necessarily provide a reliable measure of the fair value of the Company’s stock option awards.

Impairment

Judgment is involved in assessing whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired. This assessment is made based on the analysis of, amongst other factors, changes in the market or business environment, events that have transpired that have impacted the asset, and information from internal reporting.

Income taxes

Provisions for income taxes are made using the best estimate of the amount expected to be paid based on a qualitative assessment of all relevant factors. The Company reviews the adequacy of these provisions at the end of the reporting period. However, it is possible that at some future date an additional liability could result from audits by tax authorities. Where the final outcome of these tax-related matters is different from the amounts that were originally recorded, such differences will affect the tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made.

4. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGMENTS (Continued)

  • b) Key sources of judgment uncertainty

Estimated Useful Lives and Depreciation of Equipment and Intangible asset

Depreciation of equipment and intangible asset is dependent upon estimates of useful lives based on management’s judgment.

Determination of functional currency

In accordance with IAS 21, The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates, management determined that the functional currency of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries is the Canadian dollar. Determination of functional currency may involve certain judgments to determine the primary economic environment and the Company reconsiders the functional currency of its entities if there is a change in events and conditions which determined the primary economic environment.

Going concern evaluation

As discussed on note 1, these Financial Statements have been prepared under the assumptions applicable to a going concern. If the going concern assumption were 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 adjustments could be material.

The Company reviews the going concern assessment at the end of each reporting period. There were no material changes to the assessment as at June 30, 2021.

Exploration and evaluation assets

The carrying value of the Company’s exploration and evaluation assets is reviewed by management quarterly, or whenever events or circumstances indicate that its carrying amount may not be recovered. Management considers certain impairment indicators such as market capitalization of the Company, metal price changes, plans for the properties and the results of exploration to date.

5. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT

  • a) Financial instrument classification and measurement

Financial instruments of the Company carried on the consolidated statements of financial position are carried at amortized cost with the exception of marketable securities and short term investments which are carried at fair value.

The fair value of the Company’s marketable securities is quoted in active markets. The Company classifies the fair value of these transactions according to the following hierarchy.

  • Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical financial instruments.

  • Level 2 – quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets.

  • Level 3 – valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.

The Company’s marketable securities and short-term investments have been assessed on the fair value hierarchy described above and classified as Level 1.

  • b) Fair values of financial assets and liabilities

The Company’s financial instruments include cash, marketable securities, amounts receivable, reclamation bond, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and due to related parties. Marketable securities are marked to fair value at each financial statement reporting date. Cash, amounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and due to related parties approximate their fair value due to their short-term nature.

c) Market risk

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices will affect the Company’s earnings or the value of its financial instruments. Market risk is comprised of commodity price risk and interest rate risk. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control exposures within acceptable limits, while maximizing returns. The Company is not exposed to significant market risk.

5. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT (Continued)

d) 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’s primary exposure to credit risk is on its bank accounts. The Company’s bank accounts are held with major banks in Canada, the United States and Mexico; accordingly, the Company believes it not exposed to significant credit risk.

e) Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk of losses that arise as a result of changes in contracted interest rates. The Company is not exposed to significant interest rate risk.

f) Currency risk

The Company’s main property interests in Alaska, USA and Sonora, Mexico make it subject to foreign currency fluctuations which may adversely affect the Company’s consolidated statements of financial position, consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss and consolidated statements of cash flows. The Company is affected by changes in exchange rates between the Canadian Dollar and the US Dollar and the Mexico pesos. The Company does not invest in foreign currency contracts to mitigate the risks. The Company has net monetary liabilities of approximately $13,308 denominated in US dollars and only a nominal amount denominated in Mexican pesos. A 1% change in the absolute rate of exchange in US dollars would have an immaterial affect to the net loss.

g) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they come due. The Company controls liquidity risk by ensuring that it has sufficient cash resources to pay for its financial obligations. As at June 30, 2021, the Company had a cash balance of $2,938,438 to settle current liabilities of $612,361.

6. SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS

As at June 30, 2021, the Company pledged $28,750 with Bank of Montreal (March 31, 2021 - $28,750) as collateral for a credit card.
