ZINCX RESOURCES CORP.
1. NATURE AND CONTINUANCE OF OPERATIONS
ZincX Resources Corp. (the “Company”) is incorporated under the laws of the Province of British Columbia. The Company operates in one business segment, that being the exploration and evaluation of resource properties in Canada, and has not yet determined whether these properties contain ore reserves that are economically recoverable. The recoverability of the amounts shown for exploration and evaluation assets is dependent upon the existence of economically recoverable reserves, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing to complete their development, and upon future profitable production.
The Company’s shares trade on the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSX-V”) under the symbol ZNX.
The Company’s head office and principal address is Suite 2050-1055 West Georgia Street, PO Box 11121, Royal Centre, Vancouver, BC V6E 3P3. The registered and records office is Suite 400, 725 Granville Street, Vancouver, BC, V7Y 1G5.
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which presumes that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. The Company has incurred losses since its inception and the ability of the Company to continue as a going-concern depends upon its ability to raise adequate financing and to commence profitable operations in the future.
While the Company has been successful in obtaining its required financing in the past, mainly through the issuance of equity capital, there is no assurance that such financing will be available or be available on favorable terms. An inability to raise additional financing may impact the future assessment of the Company as a going concern. The condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not include adjustments to amounts and classifications of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue operations.
At September 30, 2021, the Company has a positive working capital position of $309,847 (June 30, 2021 - $1,073,872). Management may require to seek additional sources of financing in the form of equity or debt financing in the future to maintain its operations and its exploration activities for the fiscal year. These uncertainties may cast significant doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared coronavirus COVID-19 a global pandemic. This contagious disease outbreak, which has continued to spread, and any related adverse public health developments, has adversely affected workforces, economies, and financial markets globally, potentially leading to an economic downturn. While the impact of COVID-19 is expected to be temporary, the current circumstances are dynamic and the impacts of COVID-19 on business operations cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. There can be no assurance that the Company will not be impacted by adverse consequences that may be brought about by the pandemic’s impact on its business, results of operations, financial position and cash flows in the future.
These financial statements were authorized for issue on November 23, 2021 by the directors of the Company.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND BASIS OF PREPARATION
Statement of compliance
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements, including comparatives, have been prepared in accordance with International Accounts Standards (“IAS”) 34, “Interim Financial Reporting” using accounting policies consistent with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and Interpretations issued by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”).
The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared on an accrual basis except for cash flow information and are based on historical costs, modified where applicable. The consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars unless otherwise noted.
Basis of preparation
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Company have been prepared on an accrual basis except for certain cash flow information, and are based on historical costs, except for certain financial instruments classified as financial instruments at fair value through profit and loss, which are stated at their fair value. The consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, which is also the functional currency of the Company and its subsidiary unless otherwise noted.
Principles of consolidation
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements include amounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary Ecstall Mining Corp. (“Ecstall”), a company incorporated under the laws of the Province of British Columbia.
Subsidiaries are corporations in which the Company is able to control the financial operating, investing and financing activities and policies, which is the authority usually connected with holding majority voting rights. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its controlled entity from the date on which control was acquired. Ecstall uses the same reporting period and the same accounting policies as the Company.
All inter-entity balances and transactions, including unrealized profits and losses arising from inter-company transactions, have been eliminated in full on consolidation.
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared using accounting policies consistent with those used in the Company’s annual financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2021. It is, therefore, recommended that these condensed interim financial statements be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2021.

Other assets comprise of reclamation bonds totaling $332,500 (June 30, 2021 – $332,500) posted as security deposits with the Government of British Columbia in relation to the Akie and Kechika Regional properties. The reclamation bonds are deposited in GICs through a financial institution and earn an average annual variable interest rate of approximately prime minus 2.20% with a minimum of 0.25% and reinvested on an annual basis immediately at maturity.

On December 1, 2010, the Company entered into a sublease agreement with a company for its corporate office located in Vancouver, B.C. for a period of 10 years, expiring November 30, 2020, amended effective April 1, 2015, for a monthly rent of $7,500 plus applicable taxes. On December 1, 2020, the Company entered into a new sublease agreement with the same company for its corporate office for a year, expiring November 30, 2021, for a monthly rent of $7,500 plus applicable taxes.
Effective July 1, 2019, the Company adopted IFRS 16 and recognized a lease liability of $118,422 and a corresponding right-of use asset in relation to its office lease. The lease liability was measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. On December 1, 2020, $85,309 in lease liability and right-of-use asset were recognized in relation to its new office sublease agreement.

ZINCX RESOURCES CORP.
8. FLOW-THROUGH PREMIUM LIABILITY (cont’d)
In December 2019, the Company completed a flow-through private placements issuing an aggregate of 1,016,666 flow-through shares at a price of $0.15 per share for gross proceeds of $152,500. The Company recorded a flow-through liability of $29,992 in connection with the flow-through private placements, which was calculated based on an estimated premium of approximately $0.029 per flow-through share issued.
The flow-through premium liability does not represent a cash liability to the Company, and is to be fully amortized to the statement of operations and comprehensive loss pro-rata with the amount of qualifying flowthrough expenditures incurred. The flow-through agreements require the Company to renounce certain deductions for Canadian exploration expenditures incurred on the Company’s resource properties.
As at September 30, 2021, the Company incurred the qualifying exploration expenditures of $1,318,805 with respect to its 2021 flow-through commitments, and has a remaining obligation to spend $181,495 in qualifying expenditures from its April 2021 financing.
During the year ended June 30, 2021, the Company amortized the balance of the flow-through premium liability recorded in the prior year in connection with the December 2019 flow-through private placement. The Company recorded amortization of $29,992 after incurring $152,500 of qualifying exploration expenditures. The Company has fully renounced exploration expenditures of $152,500 to the flow-through subscribers for calendar 2019 using the “look-back” rule and incurred the qualified exploration expenditures during its 2021 exploration programs.
When the Company uses the “look-back” rule to renounce exploration expenditures to investors before the Company actually incurs them, the Company is liable for the flow-through Part XII.6 tax (“FT Tax”). The FT Tax related to the 2019 flow-through renunciations is payable on or before February 28, 2022 as provided by the Minister of Finance’s draft legislation proposed in July 2020 to support and protect the mining sector during the COVID-19 pandemic. The reconciliations of the accrued and recovered 2019 FT Tax for the year ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 are as follows:
| September 30,2021 | September 30,2021 | June 30,2021 | ||

ZINCX RESOURCES CORP.
9. CEBA LOAN
On April 30, 2020, the Company received the Canada Emergency Business Account (“CEBA”) loan which is an interest-free loan to cover operating costs. The CEBA loan was launched by the government of Canada to support businesses by providing financing for their expenses that cannot be avoided or deferred, and assisting businesses for successful relaunch when the economy recovers from COVID-19. Repaying the balance of the loan on or before December 31, 2022 will result in a loan forgiveness of $10,000.
Pursuant to IAS 20 Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosure of Government Assistance , the benefit of a government loan at below-market rate is treated as a government grant and measured in accordance with IFRS 9 Financial Instruments: the benefit of below-market rate shall be measured as the difference between initial carrying value of the loan (being the present value of a similar loan at market rates) and the proceeds received. The Company has estimated the initial carrying value of the CEBA Loan at $30,671, using a discount rate of 10%, which was the estimated rate for a similar loan without interest-free component. The difference of $9,329 will be accredited to the loan liability over the term of the CEBA Loan and offset to other income on the statement of loss and comprehensive loss.

11. EXPLORATION AND EVALUATION ASSETS
Title to exploration and evaluation assets involves certain inherent risks due to the difficulties of determining the validity of certain claims as well as the potential for problems arising from the frequently ambiguous conveyancing history characteristic of many resource claims. The Company has investigated title to all of its exploration and evaluation assets and, to the best of its knowledge, title to all of its claims are in good standing.
Akie Property, British Columbia
The Akie property is the Company’s flagship exploration project and is host to the Cardiac Creek SEDEX ZnPb-Ag deposit. The Company owns a 100% interest in the Akie property, which resulted from Company expenditures and the acquisition of Ecstall Mining Corporation.
Kechika Regional project, British Columbia
The Kechika Regional project, represented by a series of contiguous property blocks including Pie and Mt. Alcock, extends northwest from the Akie property. The Company owns a 100% interest in these properties, which were acquired during fiscal 2007 and 2008, including the acquisition of Ecstall. The interest in the Mt. Alcock property is subject to a 1.0 % net smelter royalty.
In September 2013, the Company entered into an option agreement (the “Agreement’) with Teck Resources Limited (“Teck”) pursuant to which Teck could acquire up to a 70% interest in the Company’s Pie, Cirque East and Yuen properties (the “Property”), three of the 10 regional properties that make up the Kechika Regional Project, on or before September 30, 2019.
In December 2017, Teck and Korea Zinc completed the requirements of the First Option to earn a 51% interest in the Property
In January 2018, Teck and Korea Zinc informed the Company that they would not be proceeding with the Second Option to earn an additional 19% interest in the Property. According to the terms of the Agreement, the parties will continue exploration of the Property under a Joint Venture arrangement on the 49%-51% basis, with Teck acting as the operator.

15. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
The Company’s objectives of capital management are intended to safeguard the entity’s ability to support the Company’s normal operating requirement on an ongoing basis, continue the development and exploration of its mineral properties, and support any expansionary plans. The Board of Directors does not establish quantitative return on capital criteria for management, but rather relies on the expertise of the Company's management to sustain future development of the business. The Company considers its capital to be equity.
The Company’s operations are currently not generating positive cash flow; as such, the Company is dependent on external financing to fund its activities. In order to carry out potential expansion and to continue operations, and pay for administrative costs, the Company will spend its existing working capital, and raise additional amounts as needed. Companies in this stage typically rely upon equity and debt financing or joint venture partnerships to fund their operations.
The current financial markets are very difficult and there is no certainty with respect to the Company’s ability to raise capital. Management may require to seek additional sources of financing in the form of equity or debt financing in the future. These uncertainties may cast significant doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
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’s overall strategy with respect to capital risk management remained unchanged during the three months ended September 30, 2021. The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.
16. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT
The Company’s financial instruments as at September 30, 2021 were as follows:
| Fair Value through | Fair Value through | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Profit or Loss | Amortized Cost | |||
| Financial assets | ||||
| Cash | $ | 1,791,288 | $ | – |
| Receivables | – | 342 | ||
| Financial liabilities | ||||
| Trade payables and accrued liabilities | – | 237,870 | ||
| Due to related parties | – | 1,401,072 | ||
| Government Loan | – | 35,318 | ||
| $ | 1,791,288 | $ | 1,674,602 |
Fair value estimates of financial instruments are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant information about financial markets and specific financial instruments. As these estimates are subjective in nature, involving uncertainties and matters of significant judgment, they cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions can significantly affect estimated fair values.

16. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT (cont’d)
Fair value hierarchy
The Company uses the following hierarchy for determining and disclosing the fair value of the financial instruments by valuation technique:
i) Level 1 – Applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
ii) Level 2 – Applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or indirectly such as quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions.
iii) Level 3 – Applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable market data.
Cash, are carried at fair value using a level 1 fair value measurement. The carrying value of receivables, trade payables and accrued liabilities, and due to related parties approximate their fair value because of the shortterm nature of these instruments.
Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will fail to discharge an obligation and cause the other party to incur a financial loss. The Company’s primary exposure to credit risk is on its bank deposits of $1,791,288 (June 30, 2021 - $3,066,527). This risk is managed by using major Canadian banks that are high credit quality financial institutions as determined by rating agencies.
The Company’s secondary exposure to credit risk is on its receivables. This risk is minimal as receivables consist primarily of refundable government sales taxes and interest accrued on GIC investments.
Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk arises through the excess of financial obligations over available financial assets due at any point in time. The Company’s objective in managing liquidity risk is to maintain sufficient readily available reserves in order to meet its liquidity requirements at any point in time. The Company achieves this by maintaining sufficient cash and cash equivalents. As at September 30, 2021, the Company was holding cash and of $1,791,288 (June 30, 2021 - $3,066,527) to settle its current liabilities of $1,653,757 (June 30, 2021 - $2,079,266). Management may require to seek additional sources of financing in the form of equity or debt financing in the future. These uncertainties may cast significant doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
Market risk
Market risk is the risk of loss that may arise from changes in market factors such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and commodity and equity prices. These fluctuations may be significant and the Company, has exposure to these risks.

16. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT (cont’d)
a. 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 the market interest rates. The Company is not exposed to significant interest rate risk.
b. Currency Risk
The Company operates in Canada and is therefore not exposed to significant foreign exchange risk arising from transactions denominated in a foreign currency.
c. Price risk
The Company is exposed to price risk with respect to commodity and equity prices. Equity price risk is defined as the potential adverse impact on the Company’s earnings due to movements in individual equity prices or general movements in the level of the stock market. Commodity price risk is defined as the potential adverse impact on earnings and economic value due to commodity price movements and volatilities. The Company closely monitors certain commodity prices, individual equity movements, and the stock market to determine the appropriate course of action to be taken by the Company.
17. SEGMENTED INFORMATION
The Company has one reportable operating segment, being the acquisition and exploration of resource properties in Canada. All of the Company’s assets are located in Canada.
18. SUBSEQUENT EVENT
Subsequent to September 30, 2021, the Company issued 20,000 common shares on the exercise of 20,000 stock options for gross proceeds of $2,400.
