Notes to Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements For the periods ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 (Tabular amounts express in thousands of Canadian dollars, except per share and share amounts) (Unaudited)
1) Reporting entity
O3 Mining Inc. (" O3 Mining " or the " Corporation "), is a Canadian corporation domiciled in Canada. The Corporation was incorporated in British Columbia and continued to Ontario on June 28, 2019 under the Ontario Business Corporations Act. The address of the Corporation's registered office is 155 University Ave, Suite 1440, Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The condensed interim consolidated financial statements of the Corporation at March 31, 2021 include the Corporation and its subsidiaries, Niogold Mining Corporation, O3 Markets Inc., Chalice Gold Mines (Québec) Inc., Alexandria Minerals Corporation, 9401-3513 Québec Inc. and Murgor Resources Inc. The Corporation is primarily in the business of acquiring, exploring, and developing precious mineral deposits in Canada.
The business of acquiring, exploring, and developing precious mineral deposits involves a high degree of risk. O3 Mining is in the exploration stage and is subject to risks and challenges similar to companies in a comparable stage. These risks include, but are not limited to, the challenges of securing adequate capital; exploration, development and operational risks inherent in the mining industry; changes in government policies and regulations; the ability to obtain the necessary environmental permitting; challenges in future profitable production or, alternatively O3 Mining’s ability to dispose of its interest on an advantageous basis; as well as global economic and commodity price volatility; all of which are uncertain. There is no assurance that O3 Mining’s funding initiatives will continue to be successful. The underlying value of the mineral properties is dependent upon the existence and economic recovery of mineral reserves and is subject to, but not limited to, the risks and challenges identified above. Changes in future conditions could require material impairment of the carrying value of mineral properties and deferred exploration.
2) Basis of preparation
a) Statement of compliance
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") applicable to the preparation of interim financial statements including IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting and are presented in thousands of Canadian dollars.
These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not include all of the disclosures required for annual financial statements and therefore should be read in conjunction with the Corporation’s audited annual consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2020.
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements were authorized for issuance by the Corporation’s board of directors (the "Board of Directors") on May 5, 2021.
b) Significant accounting policies
The significant accounting policies followed in these condensed interim consolidated financial statements are consistent with those applied in the Corporation’s audited annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020, except for policies adopted in the period ended March 31, 2021. The accounting policies set out below are in accordance with IFRS and have been applied to these unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements.

2) Basis of preparation (continued)
b) Significant accounting policies (continued)
Investment in associate
Associates are entities over which the Corporation has significant influence, but not control. The financial results of the Corporation’s investments in its associates are included in the Corporation’s results according to the equity method. Under the equity method, the investment is initially recognized at cost, and the carrying amount is increased or decreased to recognize the Corporation’s share of profits or losses of associates after the date of acquisition. The Corporation’s share of profits or losses is recognized in the statement of loss and its share of other comprehensive loss or loss of associates is included in other comprehensive loss.
Unrealized gains on transactions between the Corporation and an associate are eliminated to the extent of the Corporation’s interest in the associate. Unrealized losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Dilution gains and losses arising from changes in interests in investments in associates are recognized in the statement of loss.
The Corporation assesses at each period end whether there is any objective evidence that its investments in associates are impaired. If impaired, the carrying value of the Corporation’s shares of the underlying assets of associates is written down to its estimated recoverable amount, being the higher of fair value less costs of disposal and value in use, and charged to the statement of loss.
c) Changes in IFRS accounting policies and future accounting pronouncements
Certain pronouncements were issued by the IASB or the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee that are mandatory for accounting years beginning on or after January 1, 2021. Many are not applicable or do not have a significant impact to the Corporation and have been excluded from the summary below.
IAS 16, Property, Plant and Equipment ("IAS 16")
In 2020, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 16, prohibiting an entity from deducting from the carrying amount of an asset any proceeds received from selling items produced while the entity is preparing the asset for its intended use. Instead, these proceeds should be included in the statement of comprehensive income. The amendments to IAS 16 are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2022, with early adoption permitted.
The Corporation elected to early adopt the amendment to IAS 16 in 2021. The amendment was also applied to 2020. Because it did not have a material impact, the information presented for 2020 have not been restated.
d) Use of critical estimates and judgements
The preparation of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses.
The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making judgements about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

2) Basis of preparation (continued)
d) Use of critical estimates and judgements (continued)
In preparing these condensed interim consolidated financial statements, the significant judgements and estimates made by management in applying the Corporation’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the audited consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2020, except as noted below.
Novel coronavirus ("COVID-19"):
The outbreak of COVID-19 has resulted in governments worldwide enacting emergency measures to combat the spread of the virus. Measures taken to contain the spread of the virus, including travel bans, quarantines, social distancing, and closures of non-essential services have triggered significant disruptions to businesses worldwide, resulting in an economic slowdown. The Corporation suspended its operations in Québec due to COVID-19 on March 23, 2020 and resumed operations on May 13, 2020. The duration and impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is unclear at this time and as a result it is not possible for management to estimate the severity of the impact it may have on the financial results and operations of the Corporation in future periods. It is management’s assumption that the Corporation will continue to operate as a going concern.
On December 16, 2020, the Department of Finance published draft legislation that proposes to extend the flow-through funds spend period and the look-back rule by one year, including suspending the Part XII.6 tax for the same period. Based on the draft legislation, as of March 31, 2021, the Corporation would be required to spend $40,378,000 of flow-through funds by December 31, 2022. If the extension is not enacted by the Department of Finance, $7,229,000 of the flow-through funds, which were raised in 2020, will have to be spent by December 31, 2021.
Determination of significant influence over equity investments:
Judgment is needed to assess whether the Corporation's interest in a marketable security meets the definition of significant influence and therefore would be accounted for under the equity method as opposed to fair value through profit and loss. Management makes this determination based on its legal ownership interest, board representation and through an analysis of the Corporation's participation in entities’ policy making process.
On February 24, 2021, as part of the sale of its wholly owned subsidiary Northern Gold Mining Inc. ("Northern Gold"), the Corporation acquired 149,507,273 common shares of Moneta Porcupine Mines Inc. ("Moneta"), representing approximately 27.0% of the number of issued and outstanding common shares of Moneta on this date (note 4 and 5). Management determined it is able to exert significant influence over Moneta and accounts for this investment as an associate under the equity method.
3) Marketable securities
The Corporation holds shares and warrants in various public and private companies. During the period ended March 31, 2021, these shares and warrants were fair valued, and this resulted in an unrealized loss of $2,791,000 (2020 – $1,985,000). The Corporation sold shares during the period ended March 31, 2021 which resulted in a realized gain of $3,728,000 (2020 – $nil).
The shares in the various public companies are classified as FVTPL and are recorded at fair value using the quoted market price as at March 31, 2021 and are therefore classified as level 1 within the fair value hierarchy.
The warrants in the various public companies are classified as FVTPL and are recorded at fair value using a Black-Scholes option pricing model using observable inputs and are therefore classified as level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.

4) Assets and liabilities of disposal group classified as held for sale
During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Corporation announced its intention to dispose of its Garrison Project through the sale of its wholly owned subsidiary Northern Gold. Northern Gold owns 100% of the Golden Bear assets, including the Garrison Project, in the Kirkland Lake district of the Timmins gold mining camp in Ontario, Canada.
On February 24, 2021, the Corporation announced that it has closed a definitive share purchase agreement with Moneta, in which it has sold its wholly owned subsidiary, Northern Gold, in exchange for 149,507,273 common shares of Moneta.
Consideration for the sale of Northern Gold was fair valued at $49,634,000 (less transaction costs of $1,198,000). The net book value of the assets and associated liabilities of Northern Gold on the date of the sale was $23,698,000, resulting in a gain on sale of the assets and associated liabilities held for sale of $25,936,000.
5) Investment in associate
On February 24, 2021, as part of the sale of its wholly owned subsidiary Northern Gold, the Corporation acquired 149,507,273 common shares of Moneta, representing approximately 27.0% of the number of issued and outstanding common shares of Moneta on this date. The Corporation recorded an investment in associate at its fair value of $50,832,000 based on the quoted market price of $0.34 per common share of Moneta.
The trading price of Moneta’s common shares on March 31, 2021 was $0.36 per share which corresponds to a quoted market value of $53,823,000 for the Corporation’s investment in Moneta.
The equity accounting for Moneta is based on the fair market value of the common shares acquired on February 24, 2021 adjusted for any significant transactions between February 24, 2021 and March 31, 2021.
The Corporation’s investment relating to its associate as of March 31, 2021 is detailed as follows:

The following table summarizes information regarding the Corporation’s exploration and evaluation assets as at March 31, 2020:
a) Disposition of exploration and evaluation assets
On January 28, 2021, the Corporation completed a transaction with Osisko Mining Inc. ("Osisko"), under which the Corporation disposed of the Blondeau Guillet Property in exchange for $100,000 in cash. Consideration recorded for the claims was $98,000 (less transaction costs of $2,000). Book value of the properties on the date of disposition was $1,000, resulting in a gain on sale of exploration and evaluation assets of $97,000.
8) Restricted share unit and deferred share unit plans
In August 2019, O3 Mining established an RSU plan and a DSU plan. Under these plans, RSUs can be granted to executive officers and key employees and DSUs can be granted to non-executive directors, as part of their long-term compensation package, entitling them to receive payout in cash or shares, or a combination of both. Should the payout be in cash, the cash value of the payout would be determined by multiplying the number of RSUs and DSUs vested at the payout date by the five-day volume weighted average price from closing price of the Corporation's shares on the day prior to the payout date. Should the payout be in shares, each RSU and DSU represents an entitlement to one common share of the Corporation.

c) Diluted earnings and loss per share
The calculation of diluted earnings per share for the periods ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 was based on the income attributable to common shareholders and a basic weighted average number of common shares outstanding, adjusted for the effect of each stock option where the exercise price exceeds the average market price of ordinary shares during the periods and DSUs.
During the periods ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 there were no vested RSU and the average market price of ordinary shares during the periods did not exceed the exercise price of the vested warrants. As a result, no adjustment was made to the basic weighted average number of common shares outstanding for these instruments.
