Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited – Prepared by Management)
For the nine months ended April 30, 2021 and April 30, 2020
1. Nature of operations and going concern
Maxtech Ventures Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated on April 19, 2000, under the laws of the province of British Columbia, Canada. The Company’s shares are traded on the Canadian Securities Exchange (the “CSE”) under the symbol “MVT”. The Company is in the business of exploration and evaluation of mineral property interests in Ontario and Quebec.
The head office, principal address and records office of the Company are located at 702 - 595 Howe Street, Vancouver, B.C. V6C 2T5.
The Company’s principal business activity is the acquisition, exploration and evaluation of mineral properties. The Company has been exploring its mineral property interests and has not yet determined whether they contain mineral reserves that are economically recoverable. The Company's continuing operations and the underlying value and recoverability of the amounts shown for mineral property interests are entirely dependent upon the existence of economically recoverable mineral reserves, the ability of the Company to obtain the necessary financing to complete the exploration and development of the mineral property interests, obtaining the necessary permits to mine, and on future profitable production or proceeds from the disposition or option of the mineral property interests. The carrying amounts of mineral properties are based on costs incurred to date, and do not necessarily represent present or future values.
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements (the “financial statements”) are prepared on the basis that the Company will continue as a going concern, which assumes that the Company will be able to continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of operations. The Company does not have revenues and has incurred operating losses since incorporation. As at April 30, 2021, the Company had a working capital deficit of $177,380 (July 31, 2020 – $513,821). The Company will continue to seek the funding necessary to enable it to carry on as a going concern, but management cannot provide assurance that the Company will be able to raise additional debt and/or equity capital or conclude a corporate transaction. If the Company is unable to raise additional funds in the immediate future, management expects that the Company will need to curtail operations, liquidate assets, seek additional capital on less favorable terms and/or pursue other remedial measures or cease operations. Management is aware in making its assessment of material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt upon the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company will continue to seek cost saving measures, project partners, merger/acquisition or financing opportunities where available (see note 11 for details in respect of a subsequent financing completed). These financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
In March 2020, there was a global outbreak of COVID-19 which has had a significant impact on businesses through the restrictions put in place by International governments regarding travel, business operations and isolation/quarantine orders. It is not possible for the Company to predict the duration or magnitude of the adverse results of the outbreak and its effects on the Company’s ability to raise capital or conduct exploration activities. There are travel restrictions and health and safety concerns in all areas in which the Company operates, that may prohibit or delay exploration programs from proceeding. Operations will depend on obtaining necessary field supplies, obtaining contractor services and safeguarding all personnel during the outbreak, which may be prohibitive or too costly. To date, the restricted nature of the Company’s activities has not qualified it for the various Government wage and loan subsidies.

(c) Principles of consolidation

3. Exploration and evaluation assets (continued)
Lac Patu Vanadium Project
On August 15, 2019, the Company entered into an option agreement to acquire 100% of the Lac Patu Vanadium Project over a 2-year period. The Lac Patu Vanadium Project consists of mineral claims located in Quebec, Canada.
In order to earn the 100% interest, the Company is required to make cash payments totaling $185,000 and issue 3,250,000 common shares as follows:
-
Pay $45,000 (paid) and issue 750,000 common shares (issued with a fair value of $120,000 ($0.16 per share)) on signing (issued);
-
Pay $60,000 (not paid) and issue 1,000,000 common shares twelve months after signing (not issued); and
-
Pay $80,000 and issue 1,500,000 common shares twenty-four months after signing.
The property is subject to a 2% net smelter royalty (“NSR”). The Company may purchase 1% of the NSR for a cash payment of $1,000,000.
The Company abandoned its interest in the Lac Patu Vanadium Project during the year ended July 31, 2020 and therefore recorded an impairment equal to the carrying value of the asset ($165,000).
In connection with the termination of the option agreement, the Company agreed to issue a total of 240,000 units with a fair value of $15,963 ($0.067 per unit) which were issued during the year ended July 31, 2020.

4. Share capital
The authorized share capital of the Company consists of an unlimited number of common shares without par value. All issued shares are fully paid.
Transactions for the issue of share capital during the nine months ended April 30, 2021:
- (a) On September 4, 2020, the Company completed the first tranche of a non-flow-through unit offering consisting of the sale of 12,128,824 non-flow-through units at a price of $0.085 per non-flow-through unit for gross proceeds of $1,030,950. Each non-flow-through unit consists of one non-flow-through common share and one share purchase warrant, with each warrant being exercisable into a non-flow-through common share at an exercise price of $0.12 until September 4, 2023. No residual value was allocated to the warrant component of the units issued.
In connection with the unit offering completed, the Company paid finders’ fees of $6,626 and issued a total of 66,400 finders’ warrants, with each warrant being exercisable into a non-flow-through common share of the Company at an exercise price of $0.12 until September 4, 2023. The fair value of the finders’ warrants was determined to be $3,090 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following inputs: i) exercise price: $0.12; ii) share price: $0.085; iii) term: 3 years; iv) volatility: 100%; v) discount rate: 0.40%.

8. Financial risk management
Capital management
The Company is a resource exploration company and considers items included in shareholders’ equity as capital. The Company has no debt and does not expect to enter into debt financing. The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of underlying assets. In order to maintain or adjust its capital structure, the Company may issue new shares or make special distributions to shareholders. The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements and does not presently utilize any quantitative measures to monitor its capital. The Company’s capital structure as at April 30, 2021 is comprised of shareholders’ equity of $2,238,005 (July 31, 2020 – $239,972).
The Company currently has no source of revenues. In order to fund future projects and pay for general and administrative costs, the Company will spend its existing working capital and raise additional funds as needed. The Company's ability to continue as a going concern on a long-term basis and realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business rather than through a process of forced liquidation is primarily dependent upon its ability to sell or option its mineral properties and its ability to borrow or raise additional financing from equity markets (see note 1). There were no changes to the Company’s management of capital during the nine months ended April 30, 2021.
Financial instruments - fair value
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and due to related parties. The carrying value of accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and due to related parties approximated their fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments.
Financial instruments measured at fair value on the consolidated statement of financial position are summarized into the following fair value hierarchy levels:
-
Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
-
Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).
-
Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

Financial instruments - risk
The Company’s financial instruments can be exposed to certain financial risks, including credit risk, interest rate risk, liquidity risk and market and currency risk.
(a) Credit risk
The Company is exposed to credit risk by holding cash. All of the Company’s cash is held in financial institutions in Canada, and management believes the exposure to credit risk with respect to such institutions is not significant.
(b) Interest rate risk
The Company is not exposed to interest risk as it does not hold financial securities or debt that would be impacted by fluctuating interest rates.
(c) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company is unable to meet its financial obligations as they come due. The Company manages this risk by careful management of its working capital to ensure its expenditures will not exceed available resources. See note 1 for further details.
(d) Market and currency risk
-
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. A change of 100 basis points in interest rates would not be material to the financial statements.

Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of the changes in the foreign exchange rates. Assuming all other variables are held constant with an increase or a decrease of 10% of the US dollar against the Canadian dollar, the net loss of the Company and the equity for the nine months ended April 30, 2021 would not have changed as it had no US dollar denominated assets or liabilities.

The Company had no hedging agreements in place with respect to foreign exchange rates.
