NON-OFFERING PRELIMINARY PROSPECTUS

Non-Offering Prospectus May 13, 2020

LIDO MINERALS LTD.

No securities are being offered pursuant to this Prospectus.

This non-offering preliminary prospectus (the “ Prospectus ”) is being filed by Lido Minerals Ltd. (the “ Lido ”, “ we ”, “ us ”, “ our ”) with the securities regulatory authorities in the Province of British Columbia. This Prospectus is being filed for the purpose of allowing the Company to comply with Policy 2 — Qualifications for Listing of the Canadian Securities Exchange (“ CSE ”) in order for the Company to meet one of the eligibility requirements for the listing of Lido’s common shares (the “ Shares ”) on the CSE. The Company is a reporting issuer in British Columbia and Alberta. Concurrently with the filing of this Prospectus, the Company intends to make an application for the listing of the Shares on the CSE. Listing will be subject to the Company fulfilling all of the listing requirements of the CSE, including meeting all minimum listing requirements.

Since no securities are being offered pursuant to this Prospectus, no proceeds will be raised and all expenses in connection with the preparation and filing of this Prospectus will be paid by the Company from its working capital.

There is no market through which the Company’s securities may be sold and shareholders may not be able to resell securities of the Company owned by them. This may affect the pricing of the Company’s securities in the secondary market, the transparency and availability of trading prices, the liquidity of the securities and the extent of issuer regulation. You should carefully review and evaluate certain risk factors before making any investment decision with respect to the securities of the Company. See “Risk Factors”.

The Company is incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) and is a mineral exploration company with an option, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, to acquire a 100% interest in the Nimpkish mineral property in the Province of British Columbia. See “General Development of the Business – Business of the Company”. An investment in early stage issuers involves a significant degree of risk. The degree of risk increases substantially because the Company’s operations are in the early development stage. An investment in these securities should only be made by persons who can afford the total loss of their investment. See “Risk Factors”.

No underwriters or selling agents have been involved in the preparation of this Prospectus or performed any review or independent due diligence of the contents of the Prospectus. No person is authorized by the Company to provide any information or make any representations other than those contained in this Prospectus.

As at the date of this Prospectus the Company 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 of 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).

Unless otherwise noted, all currency amounts in this Prospectus are stated in Canadian dollars.

SUMMARY OF PROSPECTUS

The following is a summary of the principal features of this Prospectus and should be read together with the more detailed information and financial data and statements contained elsewhere in this Prospectus.

The Company

The Company was incorporated as 1093684 B.C. Ltd. on October 19, 2016 under the BCBCA. On March 28, 2018, the Company changed its name to Blue Aqua Holdings Ltd.

Other than Pacific West, which is the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, the Company has no subsidiaries and does not hold securities in any corporation, partnership, trust or other corporate entity.

Business of the Company

The Company is currently engaged in the business of mineral exploration in British Columbia, Canada.

The Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Pacific West Exploration Services Inc. (“ Pacific West ”), as optionee, is party to an option agreement dated as of May 2, 2019 (the “ Option Agreement ”) with respect to the Property, under which Pacific West has the exclusive and irrevocable right to acquire a 100% interest in the Property from the registered owners of the Property (collectively, the “ Optionor ”).

Listing

The Company intends to apply to the CSE for the Listing of the Shares on the CSE. The Listing on the CSE is subject to the Company fulfilling all the listing requirements of the CSE, including all of the minimum listing requirements.

Funds Available and Use of Available Funds

As at March 31, 2020, the Company had working capital of approximately $1,172,610. The Company estimates that it will require the following funds to conduct its plan of operations over the next twelve months:

Use of Available Funds Amount
Prospectus and CSE Listing costs $75,000
Exploration of the Property(1) $105,000
Option Payment under Option Agreement(2) $30,000
Operating expenses for 12 months(3) $150,000
Unallocated working capital(4) $812,610
Total $1,172,610

Notes:

(1) Based on the recommended Phase I Exploration Budget under the Technical Report.

(2) This option payment was made on May 1, 2020.

(3) Estimated operating expenses for the next 12 months include: $24,000 for board and management fees; $5,000 for office and miscellaneous (includes office supplies and computer); $10,000 for travel; $40,000 for professional fees (audit and legal); and $36,000 for Transfer Agent, listing and filing fees.

(4) To the extent necessary, the Company will utilize these funds to fund any negative cash flow in future periods.

The Company had negative cash flow from operations in its most recently completed financial year. The Company expects that it will have negative operating cash flow in the immediate future.

The Company’s unallocated working capital will be available for further exploration work on the Property, if such work is warranted based on results from the exploration programs currently planned. It is the intention of the Company to remain in the mineral exploration business. Should the Property not be deemed viable, or if the Company’s funds are not required for further work on the Property, those funds will be allocated to the acquisition, exploration or development of other properties.

The Company intends to spend the available funds as stated in this Prospectus. There may be circumstances, however, where, for sound business reasons a reallocation of the funds may be necessary.

See “General Development of the Business - Funds Available and Use of Available Funds”.

Risk Factors

An investment in the Common Shares should be considered highly speculative due to the nature of the Company’s business and the present stage of its development and should only be considered by investors who can afford the total loss of their investment.

A prospective purchaser of Common Shares should be aware that there are various risks that could have a material adverse effect on, among other things, the properties, business and condition (financial or otherwise) of the Company. These risk factors, together with all of the other information contained in this Prospectus, including information contained in the sections entitled “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information”, should be carefully reviewed and considered before the decision to purchase Common Shares is made.

The Company has a limited operating history upon which to evaluate the Company. The Company has no history of earnings and the Company may need to raise additional capital in the future. The intended use of proceeds described in this Prospectus is an estimate only and is subject to change. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon achieving profitable operations and upon obtaining additional financing. The Company’s ability to generate sufficient cash flow from operations to make scheduled payments to its contractors, service providers and merchants will depend on future financial performance. There are no known commercial quantities of mineral reserves on our properties. Factors beyond the Company’s control may affect the marketability of metals discovered, if any.

5

The Company cannot guarantee that title to its mineral properties will not be challenged. Any delay or failure to receive any required land use approvals or permits could negatively impact the Company’s future exploration of the Property. Resource exploration and development is a speculative business, characterized by a number of significant risks including, among other things, unprofitable efforts resulting not only from the failure to discover mineral deposits but from finding mineral deposits which, though present, are insufficient in quantity and quality to return a profit from production. The Company’s activities are subject to environmental regulation and may require permits or licences that may not be granted. The Company may be liable for environmental contamination and natural resource damages relating to the Property that occurred before the Company owned the Property. The Property or the roads or other means of access which the Company intends to utilize may be subject to interests or claims by third party individuals, groups or companies. The Company and its assets may become subject to uninsurable risks. The Company competes with other companies with greater financial resources and technical facilities. The Company is currently largely dependent on the performance of its directors and management and there is no assurance that their services can be maintained. If the Company fails to meet its commitments under the Option Agreement, it may lose its interest in the Property. In recent years both metal prices and publicly traded securities prices have fluctuated widely. The Company has an unlimited number of common shares that may be issued by the board of directors without further action or approval of the Company’s shareholders. Income tax consequences in relation to the securities offered will vary according to the circumstances of each purchaser. Situations may arise where the interests of certain of the Company’s directors and officers could conflict with the interests of the Company. The Company has not declared or paid any dividends and does not currently have a policy on the payment of dividends. Preparation of its financial statements requires the Company to use estimates and assumptions, and actual amounts could differ from those based on these estimates and assumptions. Legal, accounting and other expenses associated with public company reporting requirements have increased significantly in recent years. 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.

The estimated budget for Phase I is $105,000, and the estimated budget for Phase II is $318,500. The Company will make a decision regarding whether to proceed with Phase II based on the results from Phase I.

The Company intends to apply to the CSE for approval to list the Shares on the CSE. The Listing on the CSE is subject to the Company fulfilling all of the listing requirements of the CSE, including meeting all minimum listing requirements.

Three Year History of the Company

The Company was incorporated as 1093684 B.C. Ltd. on October 19, 2016 under the laws of British Columbia, Canada. On March 28, 2018, the Company changed its name to Blue Aqua Holdings Ltd. On December 14, 2018 the Company changed its name from Blue Aqua Holdings Ltd. to Commonwealth Cannabis Corp. On February 11, 2020, the Company changed its name from Commonwealth Cannabis Corp. to Lido Minerals Ltd. As noted below, on June 12, 2018, the Company was spun out (divested) from its former parent, Monterey Minerals Inc.

On September 30, 2016, prior to incorporation of the Company, Monterey Minerals Inc. (“ Monterey ”) had signed a letter of intent (the “ Monterey LOI ”) with Railhead Resources Ltd. (“ Railhead ”) to form a newly incorporated whollyowned subsidiary (“ Subco ”) to facilitate a transaction in which Subco would purchase all of the issued and outstanding capital stock from the Railhead shareholders and be spun-out from Monterey as a separate reporting issuer pursuant to a court approved plan of arrangement (the “ Arrangement ”). As a result, the Company was incorporated on October 19, 2016, as a Subco of Monterey to conduct the Arrangement transaction. On November 29, 2016, Monterey received court approval for its 2016 Plan of Arrangement (“ 2016 PoA ”) pursuant to which the Monterey LOI and $1,000 cash were to be transferred to the Company and subsequently divested (spun out) pursuant to the 2016 PoA. The Company set the share distribution record date of 2016 PoA at close of business on April 18, 2018. The LOI has no determinable fair market value.

7

On June 12, 2018, the Arrangement and spin out of the Company from Monterey was completed through the authorization of the issuance of 1,010,549 common shares to Monterey shareholders. As a result of completing the Arrangement, the Company became a reporting issuer in Alberta and British Columbia. Also on that date, the Company issued 500,000 Shares to its President in settlement of $10,000 in accrued management fees.

Given the LOI, the Company had initially intended to proceed in the mining and exploration sector. However, upon further review and investigation, the principal business of the Company became the identification and evaluation of assets or businesses with a view to completing a transaction (the “ Orley Acquisition ”) with The Orley Group Pty Ltd. (“ Orley ”). The Company and Orley terminated the transaction during the the Company’s financial year ended September 30, 2019.

On October 1, 2018, the Company completed a non-brokered private placement of 23,320,000 special warrants (the “ Special Warrants ”) of the Company at a price of $0.02 per Special Warrant for total proceeds of $466,400. Pursuant to their terms, following the December 14, 2018 share consolidation described below, the Special Warrants converted into an aggregate of 2,332,000 Shares effective February 4, 2019.

On December 14, 2018 the Company completed a consolidation of its issued and outstanding common shares on the basis of one post-consolidation Share for every ten pre-consolidation Shares and changed its name from Blue Aqua Holdings Ltd. to Commonwealth Cannabis Corp. Prior to the consolidation, the Company had approximately 1,510,549 Shares outstanding. Following the consolidation, the Company had 151,055 Shares outstanding.

On January 31, 2019 the Company completed a non-brokered private placement of 8,552,000 Shares at a price of $0.10 per Share for total proceeds of $855,200.

On March 28, 2019, the Company entered in a loan agreement with an independent third party lender, Chun Hao Chen, for a 24 month term loan in the principal amount of $100,000 (the “ Chen Loan ”) for the purpose of supplementing its working capital. The Chen Loan was unsecured and provides for an annual interest of 5%, accrued on a daily basis and payable upon maturity. The Chen Loan and interest owing thereunder was repaid in full on September 17, 2019.

Effective February 20, 2020, the Company entered into a share purchase and sale agreement (the “ Share Purchase Agreement ”) with the shareholders of Pacific West, pursuant to which Lido acquired all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Pacific West from the Pacific West shareholders in exchange for the issuance by Lido of an aggregate of 2,000,000 Shares to the Pacific West shareholders. Pacific West, as optionee, is party to the Option Agreement with respect to the Property, under which Pacific West has the exclusive and irrevocable right to acquire a 100% interest in the Property from the Optionor.

Future Plans

In relation to the Property, the Company currently plans to follow recommendations made in the Technical Report. The Technical Report recommends that the Company conduct a two phase exploration program, comprised of: Phase I, consisting of a thorough review and compilation of the prior work done on the Property, prospecting, geological mapping and soil sampling; and Phase II, if warranted by the results of Phase I, consisting of an IP and magnetometer ground geophysical survey and drilling program. The estimated budget for Phase I is $105,000, and the estimated budget for Phase II is $318,500. The Company will make a decision regarding whether to proceed with Phase II based on the results from Phase I.

Competitive Conditions

The Company is a grassroots mineral exploration company. 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 also exists for the recruitment of qualified personnel and equipment. See “Risk Factors.”

Employees and Consultants

As at the date of this Prospectus, the Company retains three part-time employees and consultants to meet its administrative, operating, accounting and management requirements. Our employees and consultants dedicate, on average, approximately 15 to 20 hours per week in performance of their duties to the Company. The Company does not anticipate any material change in the number of employees or consultants during fiscal 2020.

Trends

There are significant uncertainties regarding the prices of gold and silver and other minerals and the availability of equity financing for the purposes of mineral exploration and development. For instance, the price of gold, silver and other minerals has fluctuated widely in recent years and wide fluctuations are expected to continue. Apart from this risk, and the risk factors noted under the heading “Risk Factors,” we are not aware of any other trends, commitments, events or uncertainties that would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Non-Offering Prospectus

This is a non‐offering prospectus. The Company is not raising any funds in conjunction with this Prospectus. Accordingly, there are no proceeds to the Company in connection with the filing of this Prospectus. Since no securities are being offered pursuant to this Prospectus, no proceeds will be raised and all expenses in connection with the preparation and filing of this Prospectus will be paid by the Company from its working capital.

Funds Available and Use of Available Funds

As at March 31, 2020, the Company had working capital of approximately $1,172,610. The Company estimates that it will require the following funds to conduct its plan of operations over the next twelve months:

Use of Available Funds Amount
Prospectus and CSE Listing costs $75,000
Exploration of the Property(1) $105,000
Option Payment under Option Agreement(2) $30,000
Operating expenses for 12 months(3) $150,000
Unallocated working capital(4) $812,610
Total $1,172,610

Notes:

(1) Based on the recommended Phase I Exploration Budget under the Technical Report.

(2) This option payment was made on May 1, 2020.

(3) Estimated operating expenses for the next 12 months include: $24,000 for board and management fees; $5,000 for office and miscellaneous (includes office supplies and computer); $10,000 for travel; $40,000 for professional fees (audit and legal); and $36,000 for Transfer Agent, listing and filing fees.

(4) To the extent necessary, the Company will utilize these funds to fund any negative cash flow in future periods.

The Company had negative cash flow from operations in its most recently completed financial year. The Company expects that it will have negative operating cash flow in the immediate future.

The Company’s working capital available to fund ongoing operations is sufficient to meet administrative costs and exploration expenditures for at least twelve months. The Company has had negative cash flow from its operating activities since its incorporation and expects to continue to have negative cash flow from its operating activities in the future. The Company’s source of funds since incorporation has been from the sale of equity capital and the Company expects that equity capital will continue to be its source of funds in the future. See “Risk Factors” for further disclosure of the risk of negative cash flow from its operating activities.

The Company’s business objectives using the available funds described above are to complete Phase I of the exploration program recommended under the Technical Report and, if warranted by the results from Phase I, to complete Phase II of the exploration program, in which case the Company will need to obtain further financing to fund Phase II.

The Company’s unallocated working capital will be available for further exploration work on the Property, if such work is warranted based on results from the exploration programs currently planned. It is the intention of the Company to remain in the mineral exploration business. Should the Property not be deemed viable, or if the Company’s funds are not required for further work on the Property, those funds will be allocated to the acquisition, exploration or development of other properties.

The Company intends to spend the available funds as stated in this Prospectus. There may be circumstances, however, where, for sound business reasons a reallocation of the funds may be necessary.

Other Sources of Funding

The Company currently does not have any immediate sources of additional funding.

Dividends

The payment of dividends, if any, in the future, rests within the sole discretion of the Board. The payment of dividends will depend upon the Company’s earnings, its capital requirements and its financial condition, as well as other relevant factors. The Company has not declared any cash dividends since its inception. The Company has limited cash flow and anticipates using all available cash resources to fund working capital and grow its business. As such, the Company does not anticipate paying any dividends in the foreseeable future. There are no restrictions in the Company’s constating documents that prevent the Company from declaring dividends. The BCBCA, however, prohibits the Company from declaring a dividend where, after giving effect to the distribution of the dividend the Company would not be able to pay its debts as they become due in the usual course of business, or the Company’s total assets would be less than the sum of its total liabilities plus the amount that would be needed to satisfy the rights of shareholders who have preferential rights superior to those receiving the distribution.

Government Regulation

Mining operations and exploration activities in Canada are subject to various federal, provincial and local 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.

The Company believes that it is and will continue to be in compliance in all material respects with applicable statutes and the regulations passed in Canada. There are no current orders or directions relating to the Company with respect to the foregoing laws and regulations.

Environmental Regulation

The various federal, provincial and local laws and regulations governing protection of the environment are amended often and are becoming more restrictive. The Company’s policy is to conduct its business in a way that safeguards public health and the environment. The Company believes that its operations are conducted in material compliance with applicable environmental laws and regulations.

Since its incorporation, the Company has not had any environmental incidents or non-compliance with any applicable environmental laws or regulations. The Company estimates that it will not incur material capital expenditures for environmental control facilities during the current fiscal year.

Ownership

Information posted on the BC Mineral Titles Online website indicates that the mineral title as listed in the above table is 100% registered in the names of Oliver Friesen (50%) and Christopher Paul (50%).

According to the terms of the Option Agreement, Pacific West can earn a 100% right, title and interest in the Property, subject to a 2.0% NSR royalty, by making cash payments to the Optionors totalling $30,000 on or before May 1, 2020 (these payments have been made); and having a total of $425,000 in exploration expenditures on the Property, in various stages, to December 31, 2023.

Mineral Title Acquisition and Work Requirements

In British Columbia, an individual or company may acquire available mineral or placer mineral rights as defined in section 1 of the Mineral Tenure Act (British Columbia). This is done by electronic staking as described in the Act and Regulations. In addition to mineral or placer mineral rights, a mineral title conveys the right to use, enter and occupy the title for the exploration of minerals or placer minerals. Mineral exploration permits are necessary for activities that include mechanical disturbance. A mining lease is required for mine production and treatment of ore and concentrates, and all operations related to the business of mining. Mine production, other than approved bulk sampling, can only take place upon the granting of a mining permit. However, the granting of a mining permit by provincial and/or federal governments is not guaranteed.

In order to maintain a mineral title in good standing, exploration work or payment instead of work to the value required must be submitted prior to the expiry date. The amount required is specified by Section 8.4 of the British Columbia Mineral Tenure Act Regulation . These regulations state that the value of exploration and development work required to maintain a mineral title for one year is at least:

  • $5 per hectare during each of the first and second anniversary years, and

  • $10 per hectare during the third and fourth anniversary years, and

  • $15 per hectare during the fifth and sixth anniversary years, and

  • $20 per hectare for subsequent anniversary years.

Up to 10 years of work or payment instead of work can be applied on a mineral title. A change in anniversary date can be initiated at any time and for any period of time up to 10 years. In order to obtain credit for the work done on the Property, Lido must file a Statement of Work and submit an Assessment Report documenting the results of the work done on the Property. This report must also include an itemized statement of costs.

Permits and Liabilities

Prior to initiating any physical work such as drilling, trenching, bulk sampling, camp construction and access upgrading or construction, a Notice of Work (“ NoW ”) permit application must be filed with, and approved by, the BC Ministry of

11

Energy, Mines and Petroleum Resources. The exploration permit authorizing this work must be granted prior to commencement of the work and the permit will likely require the posting of a reclamation bond.

The filing of the NoW initiates engagement and consultation with other stakeholders including Aboriginal Groups. Land owners having surface rights must be notified if work is done on the Property. In addition, access permission to the Property is needed from private property owners, to go through their lands to the areas of interest. No NoW is necessary to carry out the work outlined in the Phase I of the recommended exploration program.

Other Liabilities

The Author is not aware of any particular environmental, political, or regulatory problems that would adversely affect mineral exploration and development on the Property.

Accessibility, Physiography, Climate, Local Resources and Infrastructure

The Property is located in northeastern Vancouver Island, B.C., about 24 km southeast of the town of Port McNeill. The Property can be reached via Highway 19, which is the main highway connecting the northeastern communities on the island to Victoria. Access to the area of historic work on the Property is via forestry roads that branch to the east off the highway. Noomas Main forestry service road gives access to the north part of the Property; the Storey Main forestry service road gives access to the south.

The logging roads were constructed in the 1990s and early 2000s when Canfor Corp. harvested timber in the area. These logging roads have, in general, allowed better access to mineral claims located on the east side of Nimpkish Lake; however, road building also removed historic trails and cabins, and obscured mineral showings from the 1929-31 exploration activity in the area.

The Property covers an area of approximately 4 km east to west by 4.5 km north to south, situated within the Insular Mountains, a physiographic division in the northern part of Vancouver Island. Drainage on the Property is via Noomas Creek, Storey Creek and Adriana Creek westward into Nimpkish Lake, which is drained via the Nimpkish River northward to the ocean near Alert Bay.

The terrain in the region is characterized by relatively high, steep-sided mountains and narrow valleys typically defined by lakes and rivers. Thick deposits of glacial till and outwash often occupy the main valley floors and form veneers on valley slopes (Nixon et al., 2006a). The Property covers part of the north-trending ridge located east of Nimpkish Lake. Within the Property, elevations range from about 440 m along Noomas Creek in the northern part of the Property, to about 1,380 metres on the western slope of Mount Hoy in the southeastern part of the Property. The central and southern part of the Property is underlain by an elevated plateau at an elevation of about 900 to 960 m. Outcrop exposure is good in steeper areas and along creeks, but there is considerable less exposure on the plateau. Karst topography is developed in areas underlain by limestone, causing local cave formations and sinkholes.

Vegetation includes thick growths of hemlock, red cedar, yellow cedar, Douglas fir and spruce; however, much of the Property has been logged and currently consists of clear cuts or second growth forest, approximately 20 to 30 years old. Undergrowth is dense in valleys bottoms and consists of huckleberry, salal and salmonberry. A thick layer of moss, ferns and humus covers the forest floor, obscuring rock outcrops and float.

The climate of the region is typical West Coast Marine, having mild summers and an annual rainfall of about 400 cm. Snowfall covers the areas of higher elevations, typically from November to April. Exploration is best done from May to October, due to the higher elevations within the Property and steep logging roads.

The town of Port McNeill, with a population of 2,600, has support services including heavy equipment rental, lodging, fuel and supplies. Port Hardy, a town of 4,000, is located 50 km northwest of Port McNeill and is the largest centre of the region. Its airport provides daily passenger and freight services through Pacific Coastal Airlines, which maintains a hub at the airport. It is also served by the BC Ferries terminal to Bella Bella and Prince Rupert.

History

According to Hoadley (1953), the Nimpkish area was first explored at the turn of the 20th century, when prospectors were mainly interested in the magnetite deposits in the area. Magnetite showings on the Nimpkish River were staked in 1897, and in 1902 the Head Bay magnetite deposit was discovered and staked. It lay on the southwestern side of

12

Nimpkish River, about 9 km south of the river mouth on Nimpkish Lake. Several claims on each deposit were Crowngranted and exploratory work was done until about 1910.

In 1928, exploration in the area was revived when E.L. Kinman discovered evidence of copper mineralization on Copper Creek, a tributary of Lime Creek (currently known as Kinman Creek), 5.4 km east of the south end of Nimpkish Lake. A staking rush followed the discovery, with about 200 mineral claims staked within the following two years. The largest of these properties was the Smith Copper property (aka Storey property), discovered in 1929 by G.K. Storey and Mr. Smith (Gunning, 1932). The historic Kinman Copper deposit lies 3 km southeast of the current Nimpkish Property; the Smith Copper mineralization lies 1 km west.

The Consolidated Mining and Smelting Company of Canada Ltd. (“ Cominco ”) optioned the Kinman Copper and the Smith Copper properties in 1929 and 1930 respectively, and conducted some exploratory work (Gunning, 1930), which included trail and camp building, prospecting, stripping and trenching on the Kinman property. In total, 20 diamond drill holes were drilled, along with open-cutting and stripping along the limestone - granodiorite contact for about 1.5 km (Clothier, 1930) and a 52-metre adit was driven. On the Smith Copper property, prospecting and surface trenching were done. An adit was driven into a massive pyrrhotite skarn lens. By 1932, after Cominco dropped its options on the two properties, most other claims were subsequently abandoned.

In the 1950s, exploration in the region focussed on magnetite deposits. Development work was re-initiated on the Head Bay magnetite deposit south of Nimpkish Lake. The Nimpkish Iron Mine operated from 1959 to 1964 with the production of magnetite from three pits.

The ground underlain by the current Property was explored in the 1929-31 seasons during the Kinman Copper - Smith Copper boom. Access was difficult at that time and exploration was limited to prospecting on what was at that time the Larson and Lennie Group of claims. On the Larson Group of claims, it was reported that showings of bornite and galena were found (Gunning, 1930). In the 1950s, the Wolf magnetite showing on the upper parts of Storey Creek was examined but no detailed exploration took place, again because of difficult access.

The Story 1 and 2 mineral claims, overlying the Wolf showing, were explored in 1962 by Utah Construction and Mining Co. (O'Rourke and Aird, 1962). Geological mapping and prospecting was done as a field follow-up of airborne magnetic anomalies outlined in the 1958 regional airborne magnetometer survey conducted by the BC Ministry of Mines.

In 1989, prospector James Laird staked the Nimpkish 1 to 4 claims to cover the Wolf showing, and also staked the contiguous L1 to L10 group of claims along Noomas Creek to the north. In 1990 he carried out a reconnaissance program of rock sampling and prospecting (Laird, 1990). He defined the following showings at this time: Nors 5, Larson 2, Nors 10-12, Nors 12; all located in the northern part of the current Property.

In 1994, Laird re-staked the L1 to L10 and Nimpkish claims as the CBL 1-10 mineral claims, covering a smaller area. He continued exploration with prospecting and rock sampling on several showings including North Wolf (A Zone), Zone B, the Green Garnet zone and the Porphyry Zone (Laird, 1994).

In 1996, Laird enlarged the property by staking the GM 1 to 4 mineral claims to the south. Exploration focussed on an area of pure white marble and limestone, for possible industrial mineral potential. In total, 10 samples of marble were collected from 10 sites in the south part of the claim block and analysed by whole rock analysis (Laird, 1996). Geological mapping of the pure, white limestone units was done the following year (Laird, 1997).

In 1998, claim CLA-1 was staked on the south end of the claim block (south of the current Property) to further explore for good quality marble units (Laird, 1998).

Doublestar Resources Ltd. acquired the Joe 1-4 and F.R. 1-4 claims in May 1998 from Mar-West Resources Ltd., which covered the Smith Copper deposit, on the western border of the current Property. The company subsequently undertook a regional prospecting program leading to the discovery of a massive sulphide boulder. This led to the staking of the Storey 1 and 2 claims, which underlies the north end of the current Property. A magnetometer survey produced several drill targets. Soil and creek sediment geochemical surveys were also conducted on the Storey claims.

The north part of the Property was staked in 1999 by Doublestar Resources, as the New 1 and 2 claims. This was done a year after the acquisition of the Joe and F.R. claims overlying the Smith Copper occurrence. Prospecting in 2000 resulted in two grab rock samples collected from skarnified outcrop, having high values of silver, copper and zinc. (Gray, 2000).

13

The potential of the marble units on the CBL Claim Group was re-examined in 2003 by Laird (Geiger, 2003). In 2006, Laird carried out a small program of prospecting from the North Wolf zone to the Cedar Lake zone, a distance of 1,400 m. The West Cedar Lake Zone was hand-trenched and brushed out to expose further mineralization (Laird, 2006). The claims were sold to Coal Harbour Consulting Inc in 2006, then allowed to lapse in 2009.

Various other individuals have held the ground for one- to two-year intervals since then; however, no exploration work has been reported.

Geological Setting

Regional Geology

The Property lies within the Wrangellia Terrane of the Insular Belt of northern Vancouver Island, B.C. The Wrangellia Terrane is a northwest-trending belt of Upper Paleozoic to Lower Mesozoic rocks, and represents an island arc and marginal basin assemblage of rocks. The terrane is intruded to the east by granitoid rocks of the Coast Plutonic Complex, and fault-bounded to the west by the West Coast Crystalline Complex, part of the basement to Wrangellia and the Pacific Rim Terrane (Wheeler and McFeely, 1991).

H.C. Gunning of the Geological Survey of Canada carried out the first systematic geological mapping of the Nimpkish area in 1930. Hoadley (1953) examined the geology and mineral deposits of the Zeballos - Nimpkish area, incorporating Gunning's earlier work. Muller et al. (1974), Jeletsky (1976) and Mueller and Roddick (1983) described the mineral deposits of northern Vancouver Island. The most recent geological mapping is by Nixon et al., (2006a,b, 2009, 2011) of the BC Geological Survey.

The Nimpkish region is underlain by a stratigraphic sequence of Upper Triassic to Middle Jurassic rocks belonging to the Vancouver Group and Bonanza Group (Figure 7.1 and legend Figure 7.1a of the Technical Report).

The Upper Triassic Vancouver Group rocks is dominated by the Karmutsen Formation, which consists of a 6 to 7 km thick sequence of marine mafic volcanic rocks of basalt flows, pillow breccia, tuff and intravolcanic limestone. It is overlain by Quatsino Formation, comprising massive to bedded micritic and locally bioclastic limestone, with minor silica replacement and chert nodules. The unit is less than 40 m thick (Nixon et al., 2009).

Stratigraphically above the Vancouver Group is the Upper Triassic to Middle Jurassic Bonanza Group, which comprises a lower unit called the Parson Bay Formation. It comprises impure limestone, mudstone, siltstone, shale, interbedded volcanic breccia, lapilli tuff, feldspathic wacke and waterlain volcaniclastic rock. The contact with the underlying Quatsino Formation limestone is conformable and varies from sharply gradational to transitional over widths of 0.5 to 5 m. Above the Parsons Bay Formation lies a succession of basaltic to rhyolitic lavas, breccias, tuffs, interbedded siliciclastic rocks and limestone of the Bonanza volcanic rocks. Nixon et al. (2006a,b) places the Parson Bay Formation as part of the Bonanza Group, based on new lithostratigraphic and biostratigraphic evidence along with age dating, whereas Mueller et al. (1974) had placed the unit within the underlying Vancouver Group.

The package of volcanic and sedimentary rocks have been intruded and metamorphosed by Early to Middle Jurassic Island Intrusion plutonic rocks. Locally, the body of intrusive rocks lying between Nimpkish Lake and Bonanza Lake to the east is informally known as the Noomas Creek Pluton. The intrusive rocks are buff to pale, grey or green-grey weathering, medium- to coarse-grained, heterogeneous granitoid bodies with equigranular to weakly porphyritic textures (Nixon et al., 2006a,b). The principal rock types are hornblende and biotite-bearing granodiorite and tonalite, with minor quartz diorite, diorite, feldspar porphyry and granite. Skarn deposits containing sulphide mineralization are frequent along the contact between the Noomas Creek Pluton and the Quatsino limestone or the Parson Bay Formation.

Regional, low grade metamorphism of the Karmutsen Formation has produced zeolite- to prehnite-pumpellyite facies minerals. Veins and amygdules are commonly filled with quartz, potassium feldspar, epidote, chlorite, carbonate, clay minerals and zeolites. Stronger alteration to epidote-amphibolite facies is found closer to intrusive contacts. Major uplift, folding and faulting preceded and accompanied emplacement of the multi-phase batholith. Skarn mineralization is associated with the emplacement. Marble development is common in the Quatsino formations proximal to the intrusions.

Faulting in the region consists predominantly of northwest-striking faults, which often define lithological and intrusive contacts.

14

The Nimpkish area hosts a variety of base and precious metal deposits; such include skarn and manto deposits, Cu-AuMo porphyry, volcanic redbed copper, gold, magnetite and sulphide-bearing vein and stockwork systems (Nixon et al., 2006). Near the Property are several known mineral deposits, which are described below.

Smith Copper

The Smith Copper prospect was discovered in 1929, and in the following two years, prospecting and trenching were completed. The property was drilled in 1981 by Mar-West Resources Ltd, with a total of 815 m drilled in nine holes from two setups. An additional eight holes totalling 646 m was completed between 1982 and 1985.

Mineralization occurs as a stratiform skarn/replacement of the Karmutsen volcanic rocks - Quatsino limestone contact, proximal to a large granodiorite intrusion. Sphalerite, galena, pyrrhotite, chalcopyrite and pyrite occur in a gangue of epidote, pyroxene, garnet, calcite, quartz and chlorite. The sulphide body strikes N20°W dipping 35° SW, and is reported to have a thickness of approximately 10 metres, including silicates, with the sulphide band varying from 1.0 to 2.5 m (Yeager and Ikona, 1981).

The property is currently named the Storey Creek property and is owned by Selkirk Metals Corp., a wholly-owned company belonging to Imperial Metals Corp.

Kinman Copper

On the Kinman property are several skarn occurrences, which include the Nimpkish Copper (the Kinman discovery showing), the Hazel Pit, the East Hazel showing and the Alpha showing.

The skarn-type mineralization is divided into three types: contact proximal limestone replacement of massive chalcopyrite-sphalerite-pyrrhotite-pyrite (minor magnetite); sulphide-free magnetite in both limestone and granodiorite; and granodiorite shear-zone hosted chalcopyrite-molybdenite-pyrite. The limestone replacement mineralization is the most significant type of mineralization on this property (Gray, 1998).

The Kinman showing is exposed at the confluence of Copper and Kinman Creeks at an elevation of 640 m. It consists of a large, steeply dipping lens of massive chalcopyrite, pyrrhotite, molybdenite, bornite, sphalerite and pyrite skarn occurring at the limestone-granodiorite contact. The dip of the mineralized lens is parallel to the dip of the contact and is about 6 m wide by 7 m long by 14 m high. The nearby Hazel Pit is a large open cut, 75 metres wide by 35 metres high. Mineralization consists of a shallowly north-dipping lens or pod of massive chalcopyrite, sphalerite, malachite, azurite and bornite, pyrrhotite and pyrite wholly replacing limestone.

The property is currently named the 2-Star property and is owned by Selkirk Metals Corp.

CDH-1 Property

OMYA Canada Inc. of Montreal, Quebec, staked the CDH-1 property in 2000 in order to evaluate sections of the Quatsino limestone for industrial uses. Several large, white, calcite deposits lie on the CDH-1 claim, which adjoins the southern boundary of the Property.

Within the property, the lower member of the Quatsino limestone has been thoroughly recrystallized, and bleached to form a very light-grey to very white calcite marble. It is of high purity, of high brightness and is crystalline. The company drilled two holes in 2006 to test the quality of the unit and to possibly quarry the limestone (Blumenthal, 2006).

Bonanza Mine

The Bonanza deposit is located south of Bonanza Lake. It consisted of a carbonate-rich horizon in volcanic rocks of the Karmutsen Formation. The true thickness of the skarn was reported as 8 to 10 metres and the magnetite-chalcopyrite mineralization about 1.5 metres wide. The skarn had been cut by faults and intruded by a mafic dike. The high grade section was mined from surface workings, and production in 1968 and in 1971 was a total of 4,717 tonnes, which averaged 2.48% copper and 8.7 g/t silver. The material was shipped to the Britannia Beach mill for processing (Dawson and Jones, 1993).

15

Nimpkish Iron Mine

Situated along the Nimpkish River south of Nimpkish Lake, the Nimpkish Iron Mine magnetite skarn produced several million tonnes of magnetite concentrates in the 1950s and 1960s.

Property/Local Geology

The geology of the Property is taken largely from a report by J. Laird, who prospected the Property from 1978 to 2006 and discovered and described several showings on the Property (Laird, 2006). The main rock units include:

  • Island Plutonic Suite

  • Upper Triassic Parson Bay Formation calcareous sedimentary rocks

  • Upper Triassic Quatsino Formation limestone

  • Upper Triassic Karmutsen Formation mafic volcanic rocks

Underlying local areas of the Property are the Upper Triassic Karmutsen volcanic rocks, consisting of dark green basalt flows and tuffs, with some feldspar porphyritic intrusive units that are syn-volcanic. These rocks are exposed in the gorge along Storey Creek near the southwestern border of the Property.

The overlying Quatsino Formation limestone is well exposed throughout the Property, trending northwest to southeast. It is typically white, cream, grey, crystalline to dense, largely unaltered, and strikes northwest-southeast. It is exposed as a near vertical cliff in the north part of the Property. Karst topography is developed within the unit and is present is certain areas as caves and sinkholes.

Rocks of the Parson Bay Formation trend northwest to southeast across the Property and conformably overlie rocks of the Quatsino Formation. The rocks comprise calcarenites, feldspathic wackes, black, laminated siliceous limestones and shales, with interbedded volcanic breccias, tuffs and volcaniclastic rocks. It is exposed in higher elevations on the Property, in the area above the limestone cliffs, where pyritiferous, cherty limestones are interbedded with black shales (Gray, 2000).

The granodioritic intrusive rocks of the Island Plutonic Suite underlie much of the central-southern and western part of the Property, and are part of the Noomas Creek Pluton. The unit includes stocks, sills and dykes of granodiorite, with some diorite, quartz diorite, greenstone, hornblende-feldspar porphyry, felsite and quartz-feldspar porphyry.

Numerous dykes cut across all the lithologies on the Property. The composition of the dykes ranges from diabase/andesite to felsite and feldspar porphyries. The dominant trend is northeast, steeply dipping to the south. Less common are cross-cutting dykes trending east, with a steep dip to the south.

Mineralization

The Property hosts numerous marble-hosted skarn showings along the granodiorite- limestone-Karmutsen volcanic contacts. Mineralization consists of sphalerite, chalcopyrite, pyrite and pyrrhotite along with magnetite. Small amounts of greenockite (cadmium sulphide) occur in association with sphalerite. Skarn minerals include garnet and diopside. The showings are detailed below:

Wolf

The Wolf showing consists of massive lenses of magnetite, up to 1.5 m by 7 m along the Quatsino limestone - Karmutsen volcanic contact, located about 450 metres from the granodiorite intrusion. Felsic dykes are common. The magnetite appears controlled by fractures and faults striking N20°E and N85°W. It is exposed in the creek bed of Storey Creek. The showing was explored in 1961 by BHP-Utah Mines as part of the Storey claims. Prospecting by Laird in 1994 along the canyon and upstream from the Wolf showing led to the finding of numerous exposures of garnet skarns, sulphiderich gash veins, mantos and replacements within white recrystallized limestone, in exposures for more than 500 m along the creek. Mineralization occurs as sphalerite, pyrite, pyrrhotite, chalcopyrite, magnetite, hematite and less commonly as red jasperoid. A composite rock chip over one metre in the canyon area collected by Laird in 1995 carried 46.8% zinc.

16

North Wolf

The showing, also called the A Zone by Laird, is well exposed along the forestry road and is at least 50 m wide and long on surface, and at least 20 m thick in vertical exposure. The zone consists of semi to massive magnetite, chalcopyrite, sphalerite, pyrite and pyrrhotite in a garnet-diopside skarn and recrystallized limestone, near a major intrusive contact. Felsite dykes that intrude the altered zone are directly related to the mineralization. A grab rock sample collected by Laird in 1995 yielded 10.3% copper and 343 g/t silver. A second rock grab sample carried 20.8 % zinc.

CBL

The showing, described by Laird as the B Zone, lies 400 m southeast of the North Wolf along the granodiorite-limestone contact. It is poorly exposed along a road cut for about 10 m in width. The skarn contains magnetite, chalcopyrite, sphalerite, pyrite, pyrrhotite and malachite. A rock grab sample collected by Laird in 1995 carried 1.38% Cu and 36 g/t Ag.

Cedar Lake

The zone is exposed for more than 10 m in width and can be followed for nearly 100 m along a major limestonegranodiorite contact. Massive magnetite with disseminated pyrite, sphalerite and chalcopyrite occur at the contact, and coarse, green, diopside skarn with disseminated sphalerite forms a shoot adjoining the recrystallized limestone. A 5x5 metre composite chip sample of the pyritic magnetite with chalcopyrite and sphalerite yielded 0.22% Cu; an adjoining rock grab yielded 2.7% Zn. These samples were collected by Laird in 1995.

Other Showings

In the north part of the Property are several skarn showings discovered by Laird in 1989, which include the Nors 5, the Larson 2, the Nors 12 and the Nors 10-11. The showings contain chalcopyrite, bornite, sphalerite, galena and magnetite and occur along the granodiorite - limestone contact. Massive magnetite with minor pyrite and chalcopyrite are hosted in a siliceous garnet skarn zone along a diorite-marble contact. Samples collected by Laird in 1990 in this area were highly anomalous in copper and zinc, for example, a rock grab sample collected at Nors 12 yielded 20.3% Cu, 20.6% Zn and 322 ppm Ag. To the south at the base of the limestone cliffs, Gray collected two rock samples in 2000 from mineralized skarn outcrop; one grab sample carried 339 g/t Ag, 21% Cu and 20.3% Zn.

The Property geology is shown on Figure 7.2 of the Technical Report.

Deposit Type

The main target type on the Property is a skarn-hosted copper ± silver, gold, iron deposit, with associated replacementtype and vein-type deposits.

As described by Ray (1995), these types of deposits occur regionally at or near contacts of Late Triassic or Jurassic intrusions, in the intrusive body or in the wall rocks. They are associated with porphyritic stocks, dikes and breccia pipes of quartz diorite, granodiorite and monzogranite composition, intruding carbonate rocks, calcareous volcanic rocks or tuffs. They form both stratiform ore bodies as well as vertical pipes and narrow lenses that are controlled by intrusive contacts. Mineralogy consists of chalcopyrite ± pyrite ± magnetite in the inner garnet-pyroxene zone. Bornite ± chalcopyrite ± sphalerite ± tennantite occur in the outer wollastonite zone. Either hematite, magnetite or pyrrhotite may predominate, depending on the oxidation state.

For exoskarn alteration, the mineral zoning from stock out to marble is commonly: diopside + andradite (proximal); wollastonite ± tremolite ± garnet ± diopside ± vesuvianite (distal). Endoskarn alteration comprises: potassic alteration with K-feldspar, epidote, sericite ± pyroxene ± garnet.

Irregular or tabular bodies tend to form in carbonate rocks and /or calcareous volcanic rocks or tuffs near igneous contacts. Pendants within igneous skarn can be important areas of mineralization. Mineralization is present as stockwork veining and disseminations in both endoskarns and exoskarns and commonly accompanies retrograde alteration.

According to Ray (1995), over half of the 340 copper skarn occurrences in British Columbia lie in the Wrangellia Terrance of the Insular Belt. Examples of skarn deposits on Vancouver Island include the Old Sport deposit, located about 24 km west of the Property and the nearby Merry Widow magnetite deposit. The Old Sport deposit is a copper skarn lying at the contact of the Karmutsen Formation volcanic rocks and overlying Quatsino limestone, intruded by

17

the Coast Copper stock of the Early to Middle Jurassic Island Plutonic Suite. Between 1962 and 1973, the Old Sport horizon in the Coast Copper and Benson Lake mines produced over 2.5 million tonnes of ore including copper, silver, gold and iron (BC Minfile 092L035 inventory). The Merry Widow magnetite deposit yielded 1.68 million tonnes of iron from magnetite, between 1957 and 1967 (BC Minfile 092L044 inventory).

Exploration - Airborne Magnetic Survey

Exploration carried out by Pacific West comprised an airborne magnetometer survey that was flown over the Property in May 2019, in order to further the geological understanding of the Property, to outline lithological contacts and to detect possible zones of mineralization and alteration.

Program Parameters

The helicopter-borne magnetic gradiometer survey was carried out by Ridgeline Exploration Services Inc, of Kelowna, B.C., from May 8 to May 13, 2019. Figure 9.1 of the Technical Report shows the extent of the geophysical survey, which extends over the entire Property.

The survey was flown with a GEM Systems GSMP-35A(B) magnetometer (the 'bird'), towed beneath an Astar 350 B2 helicopter and attached with a 20 m long-line cable. Other equipment included a Novatel GPS sensor mounted on the bird to accurately position the geophysical data. A radar altimeter on the bottom of the bird measured the distance to the ground or top of the canopy in tree-covered areas. An attitude sensor measured the yaw, pitch and roll of the bird throughout the survey. Following the survey, the data was corrected, processed and interpolated using Geosoft Oasis Montaj software.

Total coverage of the survey block is 454 line-km, which includes 411 line-km of east-west flight lines and 43 km of north-south tie lines. Flight lines were flown east to west with a line separation of 100 m. Tie lines were flown orthogonal to the traverse lines at 1,000 m spacing. The mean terrain clearance was approximately 800 m. The magnetometer base station was located 5 km from the centre of the airborne survey.

Program Results

The airborne magnetometer survey results are illustrated on Figure 9.1 (Airborne Survey Lines), Figure 9.2 (Residual Magnetic Intensity) and Figure 9.3 (1[st] Vertical Derivative) of the Technical Report. The magnetometer survey shows a range of 1,026 nT (nanoteslas).

The results highlight multiple magnetic features on the Property, outlining two main areas of pronounced magnetic highs within the Property. From the residual magnetic intensity and the first vertical derivative, a general magnetic trend from north to northwesterly is outlined, best displayed in the south part of the Property. Comparing the geology of the Property to the residual magnetic intensity, it appears that some of the isolated magnetic highs, of medium intensity, are coincident with some of the known showings, for example, the Wolf showing. Other magnetic highs, which broaden out to the south, suggest that the magnetite alteration, as seen on the Wolf showing, continues to the south, probably along the lithological contact between the Quatsino limestone and the intrusive rocks. The southwest corner of the Property, which displays a curved, linear magnetic high, is underlain by the intrusive rocks of the Noomas Creek Pluton. Further exploration should be done in this area.

In the northwest corner of the Property is a strong, positive magnetic anomaly. As seen on the first vertical derivative, this may represent numerous smaller magnetite alteration zones. Although the area is underlain by intrusions of the Noomas Creek Pluton, the western edge is about 200 m from the contact with the Quatsino limestone, suggesting that it may represent several zones of magnetite alteration. Alternatively, it be may be a continuation of the lithological contact at deeper depths.

Drilling

No drilling has been carried out on the Property by Pacific West or Lido.

Sample Preparation, Analyses and Security

Data Verification

18

Work programs carried out prior to the implementation of NI43-101 standards in 2001 were reported under a different standard of disclosure. The Author is satisfied that the work carried out by: Doublestar Resources on the Storey claims, underlying the northern part of the Property, in 2000; and by prospector J. Laird from 1996 to 2006, were completed in a professional manner following industry best practices at the time, and that the historical data gives an accurate indication of the nature and style of the known mineral occurrences on the Property. Assessment reports with certified lab reports detailing this work have been reviewed by the Author.

Mineral Processing and Metallurgical Testing

There has been no mineral processing or metallurgical testing on the Property by Pacific West or Lido.

Mineral Resource and Mineral Reserve Estimates

There have been no resource or reserve estimates determined for the Property by Pacific West or Lido.

Adjacent Properties

There are no significant mineral deposits adjacent to the Property.

Other Relevant Data and Information

The Author has reviewed the sources of information cited under References in the Technical Report. The Author is not aware of any additional sources of information that might significantly change the conclusions presented in the Technical Report.

Interpretations and Conclusions

The Property has primarily been explored by prospecting, beginning in the early 1930s, with further prospecting and rock sampling by Laird from 1996 to 2006, and by Doublestar Resources in 2000. Laird also began an evaluation of several marble outcrops for possible industrial uses. However, beyond prospecting and the recent airborne magnetometer survey, there has been no systematic exploration on the Property.

The Property is host to copper-zinc-silver mineralization associated with a skarn-type or a replacement-type deposit, located at the limestone-volcanic-intrusive contacts. This occurs in numerous places on the Property, including the Wolf, North Wolf, CBL and Cedar Lake showings in the south and the various Nors showings in the north.

The 2019 airborne magnetic survey in general outlined the contact between the intrusive rocks of the Island Plutonic Suite and the Quatsino limestones. Known magnetite showings can be discerned in the southern part of the Property. The positive magnetic anomalies that occur in the southwest and northwest corners of the Property outline areas for further exploration.

Recommendations

The Property warrants further property-scale exploration. The exploration should be focussed on the areas of the Property along the contact between the Quatsino limestone, the Karmutsen volcanic rocks and the intrusive rocks for potential skarn and/or replacement mineralization.

Geological mapping is warranted and should incorporate the known showings, tying them into a utm grid, examining all road cuts and outcrops for mineralization, lithology, and size. Stripping and brushing across exposures, and prospecting along the exposures in the known areas of mineralization are recommended. In the southern part of the Property, the Wolf, North Wolf, CBL zone and Cedar Lake zones should be hand trenched, chip sampled and geologically mapped. In the northern part, the various Nors and Larson showings should be sampled and geologically mapped. The geophysical targets in the southwestern part of the Property, generated from the airborne magnetic survey, should be ground truthed in the field.

Concurrently, a gridded soil sampling is warranted, focussing on the geological contact between the limestone and the granodiorite and covering known areas of mineralization, in order to expand the areas. The budget for this phase is estimated to be $105,000. This is based on a program of detailed geological mapping and prospecting, and gridded geochemical soil sampling.

19

Phase II should comprise an IP and magnetometer ground geophysical survey. An IP survey of six 100-m lines across the southern portion of the Property where mineralization has been exposed would better define the lateral extent of sulphide mineralization as well as to provide a depth profile. A core drilling program to examine targets generated from the results of Phase I and the geophysical survey could then be completed. Five holes of approximately 200 m depths could reasonably test these targets. Permitting is necessary for any drilling program. A Phase II program, which is contingent upon the results of Phase I, is estimated to cost $318,500.

ESCROWED SECURITIES

Escrowed Securities

Under the applicable policies and notices of the Canadian Securities Administrators, securities held by Principals are required to be held in escrow in accordance with the national escrow regime applicable to initial public distributions. Equity securities, including Shares, owned or controlled by the Principals of the Company are subject to the escrow

23

requirements. In connection with the proposed Listing, the Company expects to enter into the Escrow Agreement in accordance with NP 46-201 as described herein.

Pursuant to the Escrow Agreement to be entered into among the Escrow Agent, the Company, and the Principals holding Shares, being Carl Chow and Wayne Soo, 160,000 Shares (the “ Escrowed Securities ”) will be held in escrow with the Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agreement provides that 10% of the Escrowed Securities will be released from escrow upon the Listing Date and that an additional 15% will be released therefrom every six month interval thereafter, over a period of 36 months.

The Company is an “emerging issuer” as defined in the applicable policies and notices of the Canadian Securities Administrators. If the Company achieves “established issuer” status during the term of the Escrow Agreement, it will “graduate” resulting in a catch-up release and an accelerated release of any securities remaining in escrow under the 18 month schedule applicable to established issuers as if the Company had originally been classified as an established issuer.

Pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement, the Escrowed Securities may not be transferred or otherwise dealt with during the term of the Escrow Agreement unless the transfers or dealings within the escrow are:

  • (i) transfers to continuing or, upon their appointment, incoming directors and senior officers of the Company or of a material operating subsidiary, with approval of the Board;

  • (ii) transfers to an RRSP or similar trustee plan provided that the only beneficiaries are the transferor or the transferor’s spouse or children or parents;

  • (iii) transfers upon bankruptcy to the trustee in bankruptcy;

  • (iv) pledges to a financial institution as collateral for a loan, provided that upon a realization the securities remain subject to escrow; and

  • (v) tenders of Escrowed Securities to a take-over bid are permitted provided that, if the tenderer is a Principal of the successor corporation upon completion of the take-over bid, securities received in exchange for tendered Escrowed Securities are substituted in escrow on the basis of the successor corporation’s escrow classification.

The following table sets forth details of the Escrowed Securities that, as of the date of this Prospectus, will be subject to the Escrow Agreement:

Designation of
class
Number of securities held in escrow or that are subject
to a contractual restriction on transfer
Percentage of class
Shares 160,000 1.23%(1)

Note:

(1) Based on 13,035,054 Shares issued and outstanding as at the date of this Prospectus.

A detailed breakdown of the Escrowed Securities to be escrowed in connection with the Listing is shown in the following table:

Name Designation of Security Quantity % Shares as at the
date of Prospectus (1))
Carl Chow Shares 110,000 0.85%
Wayne Soo Shares 50,000 0.38%
Total 160,000 1.23%

Note:

(1) Based on 13,035,054 Shares issued and outstanding as at the date of this Prospectus.

NP 46‐201 provides that all shares of a company owned or controlled by Principals will be escrowed at the time of the Company’s initial public offering, unless the shares held by the Principal or issuable to the Principal upon conversion of convertible securities held by the Principal collectively represent less than 1% of the total issued and outstanding shares of the Company after giving effect to the initial public offering.

24

An issuer will be classified for the purposes of escrow as either an “exempt issuer”, an “established issuer” or an “emerging issuer” as those terms are defined in NP 46‐201.

Uniform terms of automatic timed release escrow apply to Principals of exchange listed issuers, differing only according to the classification of the issuer. The Company anticipates that it will be classified by the CSE as an “emerging issuer”. As such, the Company anticipates that the following automatic timed releases will apply to the securities held by the Principals listed in the table above:

Date of Automatic Timed Release Amount of Escrowed Securities Released
On the ListingDate 1/10 of the Escrowed Securities
6 months after the ListingDate 1/6 of the remainingEscrowed Securities
12 months after the ListingDate 1/5 of the remainingEscrowed Securities
18 months after the ListingDate 1/4 of the remainingEscrowed Securities
24 months after the ListingDate 1/3 of the remainingEscrowed Securities
30 months after the ListingDate 1/2 of the remainingEscrowed Securities
36 months after the ListingDate the remainingEscrowed Securities

Assuming there are no changes to the Escrowed Securities initially deposited and no additional Escrowed Securities are deposited, automatic timed release escrow applicable to the Company will result in a 10% release on the Listing Date, with the remaining Escrowed Securities being released every six months thereafter in accordance with the table above.

Shares Subject to Resale Restrictions

Currently, an aggregate of 2,000,000 Shares issued by the Company for the acquisition of the Nimpkish Property are subject to a four month hold period expiring June 27, 2020.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

In assessing the compensation of its executive officers, the Company does not have in place any formal objectives, criteria or analysis. All tasks related to developing and monitoring the Company’s approach to the compensation of officers of the Company, and to developing and monitoring the Company’s approach to the nomination of directors to the Board, are performed by the members of the Board. The compensation of the NEOs and the Company’s directors, employees and consultants is reviewed, recommended and approved by Board.

As of the date of this Prospectus, the Company’s directors have not established any benchmark or performance goals to be achieved or met by the Named Executive Officers; however, such Named Executive Officers are expected to carry out their duties in an effective and efficient manner so as to advance the business objectives of the Company. The satisfactory discharge of such duties is subject to ongoing monitoring by the Company’s directors.

As at September 30, 2019, the end of the most recently completed financial year of the Company, the Company had two Named Executive Officers, Carl Chow, President and CEO, and Stephen Brohman, CFO.

Except as disclosed below, to date limited compensation has been paid to the Company’s Named Executive Officers. The Board was solely responsible for assessing the compensation to be paid to the Company’s executive officers and evaluating their performance.

Under the DBM Agreement, the Company is obligated to pay Donaldson Brohman Martin, CPA, Inc. (“ DBM ”) a fee of $1,500 per month for the provision of CFO services by Stephen Brohman. Either party may terminate the DBM Agreement on default by the other party or by providing three months’ written notice of termination to the other party.

Except for the foregoing, the Board has not considered, determined or approved any significant compensation to be awarded to, earned by, paid to or be made payable to any of the Named Executive Officers or directors of the Company once it completes its Listing on the CSE.

Payments may be made from time to time to individuals or companies they control for the provision of consulting services. Such consulting services are paid for by the Company at competitive industry rates for work of a similar nature by reputable arm’s length services providers.

Under the Company’s compensation policies and practices, NEOs and directors are not prevented from purchasing financial instruments, including prepaid variable forward contracts, equity swaps, collars or units of exchange funds that are designed to hedge or offset a decrease in market value of equity securities granted as compensation or held, directly or indirectly, by the NEO or director. However, the Board does not believe that the Company’s compensation policies and practices encourage executive officers to take unnecessary or excessive risk.

Optionbased Awards

The Company has not issued any stock options. See “Description of Share Capital – Stock Options” for a summary of the material terms of the Stock Option Plan.

  • (b) experience preparing, auditing, analyzing or evaluating financial statements that present a breadth and level of complexity of accounting issues that are generally comparable to the breadth and complexity of issues that can reasonably be expected to be raised by the Company’s financial statements or experience actively supervising individuals engaged in such activities; and

It is not anticipated that the Company will rely on any of the above exemptions.

PreApproval Policies and Procedures

Corporate Governance Practices

Corporate governance relates to the activities of the Board, 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 and who are charged with the day‐to‐day management of the Company. The Board is committed to sound corporate governance practices, which are both in the interest of the Company’s shareholders and contribute to effective and efficient decision making. National Policy 58-201 - Corporate Governance Guidelines provides non-prescriptive

33

guidelines on corporate governance practices for reporting issuers such as the Company. The Board is of the view that the Company’s general approach to corporate governance, summarized below, is appropriate and substantially consistent with objectives reflected in the guidelines for improved corporate governance in Canada adopted by the Canadian Securities Administrators (the “ National Guidelines ”).

Board of Directors

The Board is currently composed of four (4) directors.

The National Guidelines suggest that the board of directors of every listed company should be constituted with a majority of individuals who qualify as “unrelated” directors. An “unrelated” director is a director who is independent of management and is free from any interest and any business or other relationship which could or could reasonably be perceived to materially interfere with the director’s ability to act with a view to the best interests of the Company, other than interests and relationships arising from shareholding. In addition, where a company has a significant shareholder, the National Guidelines suggest that the board of directors should include a number of directors who do not have interests in either the company or the significant shareholder.

Mr. Wayne Soo and Mr. Patrick O’Flaherty are considered by the Board to be “unrelated” within the meaning of the Guidelines. In assessing the Guidelines and making the foregoing determinations, the circumstances of each director have been examined in relation to a number of factors.

As executive officers of the Company, Mr. Carl Chow and Mr. Stephen Brohman are not considered independent pursuant NI 52‐110.

Orientation and Continuing Education

The Board has not adopted formal steps to orient new board members. The Board’s continuing education is typically derived from correspondence with the legal counsel of the Company to remain up to date with developments in relevant corporate and securities law matters. It is not anticipated that the Board will adopt formal steps in the 12 months following completion of the Listing.

Ethical Business Conduct

The Board has not adopted formal guidelines to encourage and promote a culture of ethical business conduct but does promote ethical business conduct by nominating board members it considers ethical, by avoiding or minimizing conflicts of interest and by having a sufficient number of its board members independent of corporate matters. It is not anticipated that the Board will adopt formal guidelines in the 12 months following completion of the Listing.

The Board has determined that the fiduciary duties placed on individual directors by the Company’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 in which the director has an interest have been sufficient to ensure that the Board operates independently of management and in the best interests of the Company.

Nomination of Directors

The Board considers its size each year when it considers the number of directors to recommend to the shareholders for election at the annual meeting of shareholders, taking into account the number required to carry out the Board’s duties effectively and to maintain a diversity of views and experience.

The Board does not have a nominating committee, and these functions are currently performed by the Board as a whole. However, if there is a change in the number of directors required by the Company, this policy will be reviewed.

35

Compensation

The Board is responsible for determining compensation for the directors of the Company to ensure it reflects the responsibilities and risks of being a director of a public company.

Other Board Committees

The Board has no committees other than the Audit Committee.

Assessments

Due to the minimal size of the Company’s Board, no formal policy has been established to monitor the effectiveness of the directors, the Board and its committees.

STOCK EXCHANGE LISTING

In conjunction with this Prospectus, the Company has applied to the Canadian Stock Exchange (the “ CSE ”) to list its Common Shares for trading on such exchange. The Listing will be subject to the Company satisfying certain conditions and fulfilling all of the requirements of the CSE, which include distribution of the Common Shares to a minimum number of public shareholders.

As at the date of this Prospectus, the Company is an “IPO Venture Issuer” (defined under NI 41-101 as an issuer that: (a) files a long form prospectus; (b) is not a reporting issuer in any jurisdiction immediately before the date of the final long form prospectus; and (c) at the date of the long form prospectus, 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 (i) the Toronto Stock Exchange, (ii) a U.S. marketplace, or (iii) a marketplace outside of 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 Common Shares is speculative and involves a high degree of risk due to the nature of the Company’s business and the present stage of exploration and development of its mineral properties. The following risk factors, as well as risks not currently known to the Company, could materially adversely affect the Company’s future business, operations and financial condition and could cause them to differ materially from the estimates described in forward-looking statements relating to the Company. Prospective investors should carefully consider the following risk factors along with the other matters set out or incorporated by reference in this Prospectus.

Limited Operating History

The Company has a limited operating history upon which an evaluation of the Company, its current business and its prospects can be based. You should consider any purchase of the Company’s securities in light of the risks, expenses and problems frequently encountered by all companies in the early stages of their corporate development.

Uncertain Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company may need to raise additional capital by way of an offering of equity securities, an offering of debt securities, or by obtaining financing through a bank or other entity. In particular, the Company may not have sufficient funds to complete the recommended exploration program on the Nimpkish Property. The Company has not established a limit as to the amount of debt it may incur nor has it adopted a ratio of its equity to debt allowance. If the Company needs to obtain additional financing, there is no assurance that financing will be available from any source, that it will be available on terms acceptable to the Company, or that any future offering of securities will be successful. If additional funds are raised through the issuance of equity securities, there may be a significant dilution in the value of the Company’s Common Shares. The Company could suffer adverse consequences if it is unable to obtain additional capital which would cast substantial doubt on its ability to continue its operations and growth.

Going Concern and Requirement to Generate Cash Flow for Financial Obligations

While the information in this Prospectus has been prepared in accordance with IFRS on a going concern basis, which presumes the realization of assets and discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future,

36

there are conditions and events that cast significant doubt on the validity of this presumption. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon achieving profitable operations and upon obtaining additional financing. While the Company is making its best efforts in this regard, the outcome of these matters cannot be predicted at this time. The Company’s ability to generate sufficient cash flow from operations to make scheduled payments to its contractors, service providers and merchants will depend on future financial performance, which will be affected by a range of economic, competitive, regulatory, legislative and business factors, many of which are outside of its control. If the Company does not generate sufficient cash flow from operations to satisfy its contractual obligations, it may have to undertake alternative financing plans. The Company’s inability to generate sufficient cash flow from operations or undertake alternative financing plans would have an adverse effect on its business, financial condition and results or operations, as well as its ability to satisfy its contractual obligations. Any failure to meet its financial obligations could result in termination of key contracts, which could harm the Company’s ability to provide its products and services.

Mineral Exploration Risks

The Company is an exploration stage company, and the Property is at an early stage of exploration. The mineral exploration business is very speculative. Mineral exploration involves a high degree of risk, which even a combination of experience, knowledge and careful evaluation may not be able to avoid. Few properties that are explored are ultimately developed into producing mines. Unusual or unexpected formations, formation pressures, fires, power outages, labour disruptions, flooding, explosions, cave-ins, landslides and the inability to obtain adequate machinery, equipment and/or labour are some of the risks involved in mineral exploration activities. The Company has relied on and may continue to rely on consultants and others for mineral exploration expertise. Substantial expenditures are required to establish mineral reserves and resources through drilling, to develop metallurgical processes to extract the metal from the material processed and to develop the mining and processing facilities and infrastructure at any site chosen for mining. There can be no assurance that commercial or any quantities of ore will be discovered. There is also no assurance that even if commercial quantities of ore are discovered, that the Property will be brought into commercial production or that the funds required to exploit any mineral reserves and resources discovered by the Company will be obtained on a timely basis or at all. The commercial viability of a mineral deposit once discovered is also dependent on a number of factors, some of which are the particular attributes of the deposit, such as size, grade and proximity to infrastructure, as well as gold prices. Most of the above factors are beyond the control of the Company. There can be no assurance that the Company’s mineral exploration activities will be successful. In the event that such commercial viability is never attained, the Company may seek to transfer its property interests or otherwise realize value or may even be required to abandon its business and fail as a “going concern”.

Fluctuations in Metal Prices

Factors beyond the Company’s control may affect the marketability of metals discovered, if any. Metal prices have fluctuated widely, particularly in recent years. The effect of these factors on the Company’s exploration activities cannot be predicted. For example, gold prices are affected by numerous factors including central bank sales, producer hedging activities, the relative exchange rate of the U.S. dollar with other major currencies, global and regional demand and political and economic conditions. Worldwide gold production levels also affect gold prices. As well, the price of gold has on occasion been subject to rapid short-term changes due to speculative activities.

Title Risk

The Company cannot guarantee that title to its mineral properties will not be challenged. Title insurance is generally not available for mineral properties and the Company’s ability to ensure that it has obtained secure claim to individual mineral properties or mining concessions may be severely constrained. The Company’s mineral properties may be subject to prior unregistered agreements, transfers or claims, and title may be affected by, among other things, undetected defects. The Company has not conducted surveys of all of the claims in which it holds direct or indirect interests. A successful challenge to the precise area and location of these claims could result in the Company being unable to operate on its properties as permitted or being unable to enforce its rights with respect to its properties.

First Nations Land Claims

First Nations 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 2014 decision in Tsilhqot'in Nation v. British Columbia marked the first time in Canadian history that a court has declared First Nations title to lands outside of a reserve. The Company is not aware of any First Nations land claims having been asserted or any legal actions relating to native issues having been instituted with respect to any of the land which is covered by the Nimpkish Property. The legal basis of a land

37

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 First Nations title is asserted and proved on the Nimpkish Property, provincial and federal laws will continue to be valid provided that any infringements of First Nations title, including mining and exploration, are either consented to by First Nations groups or are justified. However, no assurance can be given that a broad recognition of First Nations rights by way of a negotiated settlement or judicial pronouncement would not have an adverse effect on the Company’s activities. Such impact could be marked and, in certain circumstances, could delay or even prevent the Company’s exploration or mining activities.

Land Use Approvals and Permits

The proposed exploration program described in the Technical Report is expected to include exploration work for which land use approvals or permits must be obtained from the British Columbia government. The Company cannot guarantee that it will be able to obtain all such approvals or permits in a timely manner or at all, and any delay or failure to receive any required land use approvals or permits could negatively impact the Company’s future exploration of the Nimpkish Property.

Exploration and Development Risk

Resource exploration and development is a speculative business, characterized by a number of significant risks including, among other things, unprofitable efforts resulting not only from the failure to discover mineral deposits but from finding mineral deposits which, though present, are insufficient in quantity and quality to return a profit from production. The marketability of minerals acquired or discovered by the Company may be affected by numerous factors which are beyond the control of the Company and which cannot be accurately predicted, such as market fluctuations, the proximity and capacity of milling facilities, mineral markets and processing equipment and such other factors as government regulations, including regulations relating to royalties, allowable production, importing and exporting of minerals and environmental protection, the combination of which factors may result in the Company not receiving an adequate return of investment capital.

Substantial expenditures are required to establish ore reserves through drilling, to develop metallurgical processes to extract the metal from the ore and, in the case of new properties, to develop the mining and processing facilities and infrastructure at any site chosen for mining. Although substantial benefits may be derived from the discovery of a major mineralized deposit, no assurance can be given that minerals will be discovered in sufficient quantities and grades to justify commercial operations or that funds required for development can be obtained on a timely basis. Estimates of reserves, mineral deposits and production costs can also be affected by such factors as environmental permitting regulations and requirements, weather, environmental factors, unforeseen technical difficulties, unusual or unexpected geological formations and work interruptions. In addition, the grade of ore ultimately mined may differ from that indicated by drilling results. Short term factors relating to reserves, such as the need for orderly development of ore bodies or the processing of new or different grades, may also have an adverse effect on mining operations and on the results of operations. Material changes in ore reserves, grades, stripping ratios or recovery rates may affect the economic viability of any project.

Environmental Laws and Regulations

The Company’s operations are subject to environmental regulations in the jurisdictions in which it operates. Environmental legislation is evolving in a manner which will require stricter standards and enforcement, increased fines and penalties for non-compliance, more stringent environmental assessments of proposed projects and a heightened degree of responsibility for companies and their officers, directors and employees. There is no assurance that future changes in environmental regulation, if any, will not adversely affect the Company’s operations.

The operations of the Company including exploration and any development activities or commencement of production on its properties, require permits from various federal, provincial and local governmental authorities and such operations are and will be governed by laws and regulations governing prospecting, development, mining, production, exports, taxes, labour standards, occupational health, waste disposal, toxic substances, land use, environmental protection, mine safety and other matters. To the extent that such approvals are required and not obtained, the Company may be delayed or prohibited from proceeding with planned exploration or development of its mineral properties.

Failure to comply with applicable laws, regulations and permitting requirements may result in enforcement actions thereunder, including orders issued by regulatory or judicial authorities causing operations to cease or to be curtailed, and may include corrective measures requiring capital expenditures, installation of additional equipment, or remedial

38

actions. Parties engaged in mining operations may be required to compensate those suffering loss or damage by reason of the mining activities and may have civil or criminal fines or penalties imposed for violations of applicable laws or regulations.

Exploration and mining operations involve a potential risk of releases to soil, surface water and groundwater of metals, chemicals, fuels, liquids having acidic properties and other contaminants. In recent years, regulatory requirements and improved technology have significantly reduced those risks. However, those risks have not been eliminated, and the risk of environmental contamination from present and past exploration or mining activities exists for mining companies. The Company may be liable for environmental contamination and natural resource damages relating to the Property that occurred before the Company owned the Property. No assurance can be given that potential liabilities for such contamination or damages caused by past activities at these properties do not exist.

Amendments to current laws, regulations and permits governing operations and activities of mining companies, or more stringent implementation thereof, could have a material adverse impact on the Company and cause increases in capital expenditures or require abandonment or delays in development of new mining properties.

Influence of Third Party Stakeholders

The Property or the roads or other means of access which the Company intends to utilize in carrying out its work programs or general business mandates on the Property may be subject to interests or claims by third party individuals, groups or companies. In the event that such third parties assert any claims, the Company’s work programs may be delayed even if such claims are not meritorious. Such delays may result in significant financial loss and loss of opportunity for the Company.

Uninsurable Risks

Exploration, development and production of mineral properties is subject to certain risks, and in particular, unexpected or unusual geological operating conditions including rock bursts, cave-ins, fires, flooding and earthquakes may occur. It is not always possible to insure fully against such risks and we may decide not to take out insurance against such risks as a result of high premiums or for other reasons. Should such liabilities arise, they could have an adverse impact on our operations and could reduce or eliminate any future profitability and result in increasing costs and a decline in the value of the securities of the Company.

Competition

Significant and increasing competition exists for the limited number of mineral acquisition opportunities available. As a result of this competition, some of which is with large established mining companies with substantial capabilities and greater financial and technical resources than the Company, the Company may be unable to acquire attractive mineral properties on terms it considers acceptable. The Company also competes with other companies for the recruitment and retention of qualified employees and other personnel.

Management

The Company’s prospects depend in part on the ability of its senior management and directors to operate effectively and the loss of the services of such persons could have a material adverse effect on the Company. To manage its growth, the Company may have to attract and retain additional highly qualified management, financial and technical personnel and continue to implement and improve operational, financial and management information systems. The Company does not have key man insurance in place in respect of any of its directors or officers.

Option Agreement Obligations

The Option Agreement provides that the Company must make cash payments and expend certain minimum amounts on the exploration of the Property. If the Company fails to make such payments or expenditures in a timely fashion, the Company may lose its interest in the Property.

Conflicts of Interest

Certain directors and officers of the Company are, and may continue to be, involved in the mining and mineral exploration industry through their direct and indirect participation in corporations, partnerships or joint ventures which are potential competitors of the Company. In particular, the CEO and CFO of the Company will only be devoting 25%

39

and 20% of their time, respectively, to the business and affairs of the Company. Situations may arise in connection with potential acquisitions or investments where the other interests of these directors and officers may conflict with the interests of the Company. Directors and officers of the Company with conflicts of interest will be subject to and will follow the procedures set out in applicable corporate and securities legislation, regulations, rules and policies.

Dividends

The Company has not declared or paid any dividends on its Common Shares and does not currently have a policy on the payment of dividends. For the foreseeable future, the Company anticipates that it will retain future earnings and other cash resources for the operation and developments of its business. The payment of any future dividends will depend upon earnings and the Company’s financial condition, current and anticipated cash needs and such other factors as the directors of the Company consider appropriate.

Estimates and Assumptions

Preparation of its financial statements requires the Company to use estimates and assumptions. Accounting for estimates requires the Company to use its judgment to determine the amount to be recorded on its financial statements in connection with these estimates. If the estimates and assumptions are inaccurate, the Company could be required to write down its recorded values. On an ongoing basis, the Company re-evaluates its estimates and assumptions. However, the actual amounts could differ from those based on estimates and assumptions.

Costs and Compliance Risks

Legal, accounting and other expenses associated with public company reporting requirements are significant. The Company anticipates that costs may increase with corporate governance related requirements, including, without limitation, requirements under National Instrument 52-109 – Certification of Disclosure in Issuers’ Annual and Interim Filings , National Instrument 52-110 – Audit Committees and National Instrument 58-101 – Disclosure of Corporate Governance Practices .

The Company also expects these rules and regulations may make it more difficult and more expensive for it to obtain director and officer liability insurance, and it may be required to accept reduced policy limits and coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain the same or similar coverage. As a result, it may be more difficult for the Company to attract and retain qualified individuals to serve on its board of directors or as executive officers.

COVID-19

Since December 31, 2019, 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.

PROMOTERS

Mr. Carl Chow may be considered to be a promoter of the Company in that he took the initiative in founding and organizing the current business of the Company. See "Directors and Executive Officers” for additional information regarding Mr. Carl Chow. As at the date of this Prospectus, Mr. Carl Chow directly and beneficially owns 110,000 Shares.

STATUTORY RIGHT OF WITHDRAWAL AND RESCISSION

Canadian securities legislation requires that the following language appear in this Prospectus:

Securities legislation in certain of the provinces in Canada provides purchasers with the right to withdraw from an agreement to purchase securities. This right may be exercised within two business days after receipt or deemed receipt of a prospectus and any amendment. In several of the provinces, the securities legislation further provides a purchaser with remedies for rescission or, in some jurisdictions, damages if the prospectus and any amendment contains a misrepresentation or is not delivered to the purchaser, provided that the remedies for rescission or damages are exercised by the purchaser within the time limit prescribed by the securities legislation of such purchaser’s province. The purchaser should refer to any applicable provisions of the securities legislation of the purchaser’s province for the particulars of these rights or consult with a legal adviser.

However, in light of the fact that this Prospectus is being filed to allow the Company to become a reporting issuer in British Columbia, and not in connection with an offering of securities, the Company believes that the remedies described in the foregoing paragraph are not applicable to the transactions described in this Prospectus.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

To the Shareholders of Commonwealth Cannabis Corp.

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Commonwealth Cannabis Corp. (the “Company”), which comprise the statements of financial position as at September 30, 2019 and 2018, and the statements of comprehensive loss, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at September 30, 2019 and 2018, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in Canada, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern

We draw attention to Note 1 to the financial statements, which describes 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. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

Other Information

Management is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in Management’s Discussion and Analysis.

Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information identified above and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

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 International Financial Reporting Standards, 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

Our 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 our 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, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  • 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 our 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 we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our 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.

We 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 we identify during our audit.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we 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 our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

The engagement partner on the audit resulting in this independent auditor's report is Barry Hartley .

Commonwealth Cannabis Corp. Notes to the Financial Statements September 30, 2019

1. Nature and Continuance of Operations

Commonwealth Cannabis Corp. was incorporated as 1093684 B.C. Ltd. ( the "Company" or “Commonwealth”) on October 19, 2016 under the laws of British Columbia, Canada. The Company’s head office and registered office is located at 372‐1917 West 4[th] Ave. Vancouver, BC V6J 1M7.

The Company is a publicly reporting issuer in the Provinces of British Columbia and Alberta. Commonwealth operates in the cannabis sector.

The financial statements have been prepared on the basis of accounting principles applicable to a going concern which assumes the Company 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’s continuing operations, as intended, and its financial success may be dependent upon the extent to which it can successfully develop its business.

The development of the Company’s business may take many years to be successful and the amount of resulting income, if any, is difficult to determine with any certainty. For the year ended September 30, 2019, the Company had no profits, and had a deficit of $467,760 (2018: $33,042) and expects to incur losses in the development of its business, all of which casts material uncertainty about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management believes its working capital will be sufficient to support operations for the next twelve months.

In assessing whether the going concern assumption is appropriate, management takes into account all available information about the future, which is at least, but not limited to twelve months from the end of the reporting period. The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent upon raising the necessary funds through the selling of investments and issuance of equity or debt sufficient to meet current and future obligations. Management is aware, in making its assessment, of material uncertainties related to events and conditions that may cast significant doubt upon the Company's ability to continue as a going concern as described above, and accordingly, the appropriateness of the use of accounting principles applicable to a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. Such adjustments could be material.

2. Basis of Presentation

Statement of Compliance ‐

The financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2019 with comparative figures for the year ended September 30, 2018 were prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and interpretations of the International Financing Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”). The accounting policies set out in Note 3 are in effect in the financial statements and have been applied consistently to all periods presented unless otherwise indicated.

8

Commonwealth Cannabis Corp. Notes to the Financial Statements September 30, 2019

3. Significant Accounting Policies

  • a) Basis of Measurement ‐

These financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for financial instruments classified in accordance with certain measurement standards under IFRS. These financial statements have been prepared using IFRS principles applicable to a going concern, which contemplate the realization of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business as they come due.

  • b) 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 recognition of deferred income tax amounts.

  • c) Financial Instruments ‐

(i) 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.

(ii) 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.

9

Commonwealth Cannabis Corp. Notes to the Financial Statements September 30, 2019

3. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

  • c) Financial Instruments (continued)

(ii) Measurement (continued)

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 net 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 net loss in the period in which they arise. Cash, loans receivable and investments are classified as FVTPL.

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.

(iii) 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 net (loss) income, 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.

(iv) Derecognition

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.

10

Commonwealth Cannabis Corp. Notes to the Financial Statements September 30, 2019

3 . Significant accounting policies (continued)

  • c) Financial Instruments (continued)

(iv) Derecognition (continued)

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 recognized in profit or loss.

  • d) Loss Per Share ‐

Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution of securities that could share in earnings of an entity.

In a loss year, potentially dilutive common shares are excluded from the loss per share calculation as the effect would be anti‐dilutive. Basic and diluted loss per share are the same for the periods presented.

  • e) Income taxes ‐

Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax is recognized in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognized directly in equity.

Current tax expense is the expected tax payable on taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at period end, adjusted for amendments to tax payable with regards to previous years.

Deferred tax is recorded using the asset and 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. Temporary differences are not provided for relating to goodwill not deductible for tax purposes, the initial recognition of assets or liabilities that affect neither accounting or taxable loss, and differences relating to investments in subsidiaries to the extent that they will probably not reverse in the foreseeable future.

The amount of deferred tax provided is based on the expected manner of realization or settlement of the carrying amount of assets and liabilities, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period. A deferred tax asset is recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the asset can be utilized.

11

Commonwealth Cannabis Corp. Notes to the Financial Statements September 30, 2019

3. Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

  • f) New accounting standards adopted –

Standards issued but not yet effective up to the date of issuance of the Company's financial statements are included below.

The Company will adopt IFRS 16 Leases. IFRS 16 replaces the existing lease accounting guidance, IAS 17, Leases and related interpretations. IFRS 16 specifies how to recognize, measure, present and disclose leases. The standard provides a single lessee accounting model, requiring lessees to recognize assets and liabilities for all leases unless the lease term is 12 months or less or the underlying asset has a low value. Application of the standard is mandatory for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019, with early application permitted. This new standard is not expected to have an impact on the Company’s financial statements because the Company does not have any leases.

Other accounting pronouncements with future effective dates are either not applicable or are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

4. Share Capital

Effective December 14, 2018, the Company consolidated its shares on the basis of one new, post‐ consolidated share for every 10 old, pre‐consolidated shares. The weighted average number of common shares outstanding and loss per share figures have been adjusted to reflect this share consolidation. All other share and per share amounts in these financial statements are presented on a post‐consolidation basis.

Common Shares

Authorized:

Unlimited common shares without par value.

Issued:

On September 30, 2016, prior to incorporation of the Company, Monterey Minerals Inc. signed a letter of intent (“LOI”) with Railhead Resources Ltd. (the “Purchaser”) to form a newly incorporated wholly‐owned subsidiary (Subco) to facilitate a transaction in which Subco would purchase all of the issued and outstanding capital stock from the Purchaser’s shareholders and be spun‐out from Monterey Minerals Inc. as a separate reporting issuer pursuant to a court approved plan of arrangement. The Company was incorporated as a Subco of Monterey Minerals Inc. to conduct this transaction.

On November 29, 2016, Monterey Minerals Inc. received court approval for its 2016 Plan of Arrangement (“2016 PoA”) pursuant to which the LOI and $1,000 cash (the “Assets”) are to be transferred to the Company and subsequently divested (spun out) pursuant to the 2016 PoA. The Company set the share distribution record date of the 2016 PoA at close of business on April 18, 2018. The LOI has no determinable fair market value. On June 12, 2018, in accordance with the 2016 PoA, the Company issued 101,054 common shares with a fair value of $1,000 to shareholders of Monterey Minerals Inc.

12

Commonwealth Cannabis Corp. Notes to the Financial Statements September 30, 2019

4. Share Capital (continued)

Common Shares (continued)

On June 12, 2018, the Company issued 50,000 common shares at $0.20 per share to a director, in settlement of $10,000 in management fees payable.

On January 31, 2019 the Company issued 8,552,000 common shares at $0.10 per share for total proceeds of $855,200.

Special Warrants

On October 1, 2018, the Company issued 118,000 Special Warrants at $0.20 per Special Warrant for total proceeds of $23,600, which completed a non‐brokered private placement of 2,332,000 Special Warrants of the Company at a price of $0.20 per Special Warrant for total proceeds of $466,400. 2,214,000 Special Warrants for total proceeds of $442,800 were issued during the year ended September 30, 2018.

Each Special Warrant is exercisable by the holder to receive one common share of the Company (a “Share”) for no additional consideration, and all unexercised Special Warrants will be deemed to be exercised without any further action on the earlier of: (a) February 2, 2019, and (b) the third business day after a receipt is issued for a (final) prospectus by the securities regulatory authorities in each province where the Special Warrants were sold qualifying the Shares to be issued upon the exercise of the Special Warrants.

On February 4, 2019 all outstanding warrants were exercised, for no further consideration, into 2,332,000 of Company’s common shares.

5. Loans Receivable

On October 30, 2018, the Company entered into a loan assignment agreement with a creditor of Orley Group Pty Ltd. (“Orley”), pursuant to which it took the assignment of a loan agreement between Orley and the creditor in the amount of AUS$100,000, together with all related security interests and agreements. The consideration for the assignment of the loan agreement and underlying debt was CDN$95,000 which has been paid by the Company to the creditor. The loan is due on demand, bears interest at 4% per annum, and it secured pursuant to a general security deed provided by Orley. At September 30, 2019, the principal balance was $89,410 and accrued interest was $4,667.

On November 19, 2018, the Company loaned Orley AUS$50,000 (CAD $49,010). The loan is unsecured, bears an interest of 8% per annum, and was due on May 15, 2019. At September 30, 2019, the principal balance was $44,705 and accrued interest was $3,455.

On February 15, 2019, the Company loaned Orley AUS$100,000 (CAD $96,530). The loan is unsecured, bears an interest of 8% per annum, and was due on August 15, 2019. At September 30, 2019, the principal balance was $89,410 and accrued interest was $5,000.

On August 1, 2019, the Company gave notice to Orley demanding repayment of all three loans plus accrued interest. Due to uncertainty about the recoverability of these loans, the Company recognized impairment of the principal and accrued interest of $236,647.

13

Commonwealth Cannabis Corp. Notes to the Financial Statements September 30, 2019

6. Investments

On August 8, 2019, the Company subscribed to 1,000,000 units of Champignon Brands Inc. (“Champignon”), a private company, for cash consideration of $100,000. Each unit consists of one common shares and one half of one share purchase warrant. Each whole warrant is exercisable into one common share at $0.15 per share for a period of three years. At September 30, 2019, the fair value of this investment was $125,000, which was based on the fair value of recent share subscriptions by Champignon. A gain of $25,000 was recognized in the statement of comprehensive loss.

7. Income Taxes

A reconciliation of current income taxes at statutory rates with the reported taxes is as follows:

September 30, September 30,
2019 2018
$ $
Loss before income taxes (434,718) (32,689)
Statutory rates 27.00% 27.00%

Non‐deductible items 57,144
Effect of an increase in tax rates (3)

Details of deferred income tax assets are as follows:

Deferred income tax assets:
Non‐capital losses carried forward 69,151 8,921

Less: unrecognized deferred tax assets (69,151) (8,921)
Deferred income tax assets

Deferred tax assets have not been recognized because it is not probable that future taxable income will be available against which the Company can utilize the benefits from the deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses.

Non‐Capital Losses –

As at September 30, 2019, the Company has non‐capital losses of $256,113, which may be carried forward to apply against future years income tax for Canadian income tax purposes. Of the total, $353 expires in 2037 and $32,689 expires in 2038 and $223,071 expires in 2039.

14

Commonwealth Cannabis Corp. Notes to the Financial Statements September 30, 2019

8. Capital Disclosures

The Company defines its working capital as capital. The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it based on the funds available to the Company. 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. In addition, the Company is dependent upon external financings to fund activities. In order to carry out planned business and pay for administrative costs, the Company will need to raise additional funds. 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 to the Company’s approach to capital management during the year.

9. Financial and Capital Risk Management

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 enters into financial instruments to finance its operations in the normal course of business. The fair value of accounts payable approximates their carrying values due to the short‐ term maturity of these instruments.

The fair value of the Company’s financial instruments has been classified within the fair value hierarchy as at September 30, 2019 as follows:

Level 1 Level 2 Level 3
Financial Assets
Cash $743,813
Investment $125,000
$743,813 $125,000 -

15

Commonwealth Cannabis Corp. Notes to the Financial Statements September 30, 2019

9. Financial and Capital Risk Management (continued)

The Company is exposed to varying degrees to a variety of financial instrument related risks:

Foreign exchange risk

Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair values of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because they are denominated in currencies that differ from the respective functional currency. The Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk on its loans receivable which are denominated in Australian dollars. As at September 30, 2019, a 10% change in the Australian dollar to the Canadian dollar would impact the Company’s net loss by $22,353.

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 in its cash and loans receivable. The Company’s cash is held by large Canadian financial institutions. The Company’s credit risk with respect to cash is minimal. The Company is exposed to significant credit risk on its loans receivable.

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. Financial assets and liabilities with variable interest rates expose the Company to cash flow interest rate risk. The Company does not hold any financial assets or liabilities with variable interest rates. The Company does maintain bank accounts which earn interest at variable rates, but it does not believe it is currently subject to any significant interest rate risk. The Company’s exposure to interest rate risk is low.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they become due. The Company manages its liquidity risk by forecasting cash flows from operations and anticipating any investing and financing activities. Management and the Board of Directors are actively involved in the review, planning and approval of significant expenditures and commitments. At September 30, 2019, the Company has sufficient funds to meet its short‐term commitments.

10. Related Party Transactions

During the year ended September 30, 2019, the Company paid the following advisory and consulting fees:

  • $12,000 (2018: $Nil) to Lucas Birdsall, the CFO and director of the Company; and

  • $4,500 (2018: $Nil) to Patrick O’Flaherty, an independent director of the Company.

During the year ended September 30, 2018, the Company paid $11,650 in management fees to directors of the Company, which is included in consulting expense in the statement of comprehensive loss.

At September 30, 2019, the Company owed $2,625 (2018: $1,000) to directors of the Company, which is included in accounts payable. These amounts are unsecured, bear no interest and are due on demand.

Lido Minerals Ltd. (formerly Commonwealth Cannabis Corp.) Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements March 31, 2020

1. Nature and Continuance of Operations

Lido Minerals Ltd. (formerly Commonwealth Cannabis Corp.) was incorporated as 1093684 B.C. Ltd. (the "Company" or “Lido”) on October 19, 2016 under the laws of British Columbia, Canada. On February 11, 2020 the Company changed its name to Lido Minerals Ltd. The Company’s head office and registered office is located at 600 – 1090 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, BC V6E 3V7.

The Company is a publicly reporting issuer in the Provinces of British Columbia and Alberta. The Company formerly operated in the cannabis sector. In January of 2020, the Company changed its business to exploration and evaluation of mineral properties and intends to file a prospectus with the Canadian Securities Exchange as a resource issuer.

The financial statements have been prepared on the basis of accounting principles applicable to a going concern which assumes the Company 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’s continuing operations, as intended, and its financial success may be dependent upon the extent to which it can successfully develop its business.

The development of the Company’s business may take many years to be successful and the amount of resulting income, if any, is difficult to determine with any certainty. For the six months ended March 31, 2020, the Company net income of $307,770 (2018: loss of $153,547) and expects to incur losses in the development of its business, all of which casts material uncertainty about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management believes its working capital will be sufficient to support operations for the next twelve months.

In assessing whether the going concern assumption is appropriate, management takes into account all available information about the future, which is at least, but not limited to twelve months from the end of the reporting period. The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent upon raising the necessary funds through the selling of investments and issuance of equity or debt sufficient to meet current and future obligations. Management is aware, in making its assessment, of material uncertainties related to events and conditions that may cast significant doubt upon the Company's ability to continue as a going concern as described above, and accordingly, the appropriateness of the use of accounting principles applicable to a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. Such adjustments could be material.

2. Basis of Presentation

Statement of Compliance –

The financial statements for the six months ended March 31, 2020 with comparative figures for the six months ended March 31, 2019 were prepared in accordance with the International Accounting Standard 34 “Interim Financial Reporting” (“IAS 34”) using accounting policies consistent with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and interpretations of the International Financing Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”).

Lido Minerals Ltd. (formerly Commonwealth Cannabis Corp.) Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements March 31, 2020

2. Basis of Presentation (continued)

Basis of consolidation

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiary. The financial statements of the subsidiary is included in the consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases. All intercompany balances, transactions, income and expenses have been eliminated upon consolidation.

Subsidiaries

Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Company. Control exists when the Company possesses power over an investee, has exposure to variable returns from the investee and has the ability to use its power over the investee to affect its returns. Where necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies in line with those used by the Company.

The principal subsidiary of the Company as of March 31, 2020 is as follows:

Ownership Ownership
Interest Interest
Place of March 31, March 31,
Name of subsidiary Principal activity Incorporation 2020 2019
Pacific West Exploration
Services Inc.(“Pacific West”)
Mineral exploration Canada 100% -

3. Significant Accounting Policies

New accounting standards adopted –

IFRS 16 Leases:

In January 2016, the IASB issued IFRS16 – Leases which replaces IAS 17 – Leases and its associated interpretative guidance. IFRS 16 applies a control model to the identification of leases, distinguishing between a lease and a service contract on the basis of whether the customer controls the asset being leased. For those assets determined to meet the definition of a lease, IFRS 16 introduces significant changes to the accounting by lessees, introducing a single, on-balance sheet accounting model that is similar to current finance lease accounting, with limited exceptions for short-term leases or leases of low value assets. Lessor accounting remains similar to current accounting practice. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019. The Company adopted this new standard on October 1, 2019. This new standard did not have any impact on the Company’s financial statements because the Company does not have any leases.

Lido Minerals Ltd. (formerly Commonwealth Cannabis Corp.) Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements March 31, 2020

4. Investment

On August 8, 2019, the Company subscribed to 1,000,000 units of Champignon Brands Inc. (“Champignon”), a publicly traded company (CSE: SHRM), for cash consideration of $100,000. Each unit consists of one common share and one half of one share purchase warrant. Each whole warrant is exercisable into one common share at $0.15 per share for a period of three years. At March 31, 2020, the fair value of this investment was $590,000, which was based on the market price of the shares.

For the period ended March 31, 2020, the Company recorded an unrealized gain of $465,000 related to the investment.

5. Acquisition of Pacific West Exploration Services Inc. (“Pacific West”)

On February 20, 2020, the Company entered into an agreement, pursuant to which the Company has acquired all the outstanding common shares of Pacific West, an arm’s length party (the “Acquisition”). Pacific West is a privately held mineral exploration company that holds an option to earn up to a 100% interest in the Nimpkish Property (Note 6). In consideration for the outstanding common shares of Pacific West, the Company issued 2,000,000 common shares with a fair value of $200,000 (Note 7).

Pacific West does not meet the definition of a business under IFRS 3; therefore the acquisition of Pacific West was treated as an acquisition of exploration and evaluation assets. The fair value of the assets acquired, and liabilities assumed as at the date of acquisition were as follows:

Net assets acquired
Exploration and evaluation assets $ 200,000
Consideration
Fair value of 2,000,000 common shares issued (Note 7) $ 200,000

6. Exploration and Evaluation Assets

Nimpkish Property

On February 20, 2020, the Company completed its acquisition of Pacific West. Pacific West, as optionee, is party to an option agreement dated as of May 2, 2019 (the “Option Agreement”) with respect to the Nimpkish Property (the “Property”), under which Pacific West has the exclusive and irrevocable right to acquire a 100% interest in the Property from the registered owners of the Property (collectively, the “Optionor”).

Overall Performance

Commonwealth operates in the cannabis sector.

Commonwealth is actively evaluating assets involved in the cultivation of industrial hemp, as well as the extraction of Cannabidiol (“CBD”). The Company is looking to pursue opportunities surrounding the complete lifecycle of industrial hemp cultivation, including growing, harvesting, drying, curing, inspecting, and packaging.

Present in industrial hemp, cannabidiol is a major constituent among some 560 compounds found in hemp.

The Company’s office is located at 372-1917 West 4[th] Ave. Vancouver, BC V6J 1M7

The Company has set the share distribution record date for the 2016 PoA as holders of record of Monterey as of close of business on April 18, 2018. The LOI has no determinable fair market value.

On March 28, 2018, the Company changed its name to Blue Aqua Holdings Ltd.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

The preparation of the Financial Statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Financial Statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the reporting period. Actual results could differ from management’s best estimates as additional information becomes available.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

New Accounting Change

IFRS 16 Leases

In January 2016, the IASB issued IFRS16 – Leases which replaces IAS 17 – Leases and its associated interpretative guidance. IFRS 16 applies a control model to the identification of leases, distinguishing between a lease and a service contract on the basis of whether the customer controls the asset being leased. For those assets determined to meet the definition of a lease, IFRS 16 introduces significant changes to the accounting by lessees, introducing a single, on-balance sheet accounting model that is similar to current finance lease accounting, with limited exceptions for short-term leases or leases of low value assets. Lessor accounting remains similar to current accounting practice. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019. The Company adopted this new standard on October 1, 2019. This new standard did not have any impact on the Company’s financial statements because the Company does not have any leases.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND OTHER INSTRUMENTS

The carrying amounts of cash and accounts payable approximate fair value because of the short-term maturity of these items.

Investments

On August 8, 2019, the Company subscribed to 1,000,000 units of Champignon Brands Inc. (“Champignon”), a publicly traded company (CSE: SHRM), for cash consideration of $100,000. Each unit consists of one common share and one half of one share purchase warrant. Each whole warrant is exercisable into one common share at $0.15 per share for a period of three years. At March 31, 2020, the fair value of this investment was $590,000, which was based on the market price of the shares.

LIDO MINERALS LTD. MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS FOR SIX MONTHS ENED MARCH 31, 2020

For the period ended March 31, 2020, the Company recorded an unrealized gain of $465,000 related to the investment.

The Company is exposed to a variety of financial risks by virtue of its activities including credit, interest rate, liquidity, commodity price, and global economic risk.

a) Credit risk

Credit risk is risk of financial loss to the Company if a counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Company’s cash is held in large Canadian financial institutions and its receivables are due from the Government of Canada. As such, the Company determined that it is not exposed to significant credit risk.

b) 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 exposed to limited interest rate risk as it only holds cash and highly liquid short-term investments.

c) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its obligations as they come due. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on management’s ability to raise the required capital through future equity or debt issuances. The Company manages its liquidity risk by forecasting cash flows from operations and anticipating any investing and financing activities. Management and the Board of Directors are actively involved in the review, planning, and approval of significant expenditures and commitments.

d) Commodity price risk

The ability of the Company to explore and develop its exploration and evaluation assets and the future profitability of the Company are directly related to the price of base metals. The Company monitors these metal prices to determine the appropriate course of action to be taken.

e) Global economic risk

General global economic conditions, including, without limitation, general levels of economic activity, fluctuations in the market prices of securities, participation by other investors in the financial markets, economic uncertainty, national and international political circumstances, natural disasters, public health crises(such as the recent global outbreak of a novel coronavirus, COVID-19, refer to note below) and other events outside of our control, may affect the activities of Lido.

Covid-19

Since December 31, 2019, the outbreak of the novel strain of coronavirus, specifically identified as “COVID19”, 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.
