Notes to Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2021 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars) Unaudited
Inventus Mining Corp.
1. Nature of Operations and Going Concern
Inventus Mining Corp. (the “Company” or "Inventus") was incorporated under the Canada Business Corporations Act and is engaged in the business of locating and exploring mineral properties. Substantially all of the efforts of the Company are devoted to these business activities. The Company commenced trading on the TSX Venture Exchange on May 5, 2015 under the new symbol IVS. To date, the Company has not earned any revenues and is considered to be in the exploration stage. The Company’s registered office is located at The Canadian Venture Building, 82 Richmond Street East, Toronto, Ontario, M5C 1P1.
The Company is in the process of exploring its mining claims and has not yet determined whether or not the properties will contain economically recoverable reserves.
These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements were prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that the Company will continue its operations for the foreseeable future and will be able to continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. As at September 30, 2021, the Company had working capital of $613,607 (December 31, 2020 - working capital of $1,620,838), loss of $3,047,154 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 (loss of $992,865 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020) and a deficit of $27,914,410 (December 31, 2020 - $24,867,256). 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. Management is aware, in making its assessment, of material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt upon the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern.
On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared coronavirus (COVID-19) a global pandemic. Due to the worldwide COVID-19 outbreak, material uncertainties may come into existence that could influence management’s going concern assumption. Management cannot accurately predict the future impact COVID-19 may have on:
-
Global gold prices;
-
Demand for gold and the ability to explore for gold;
-
The severity and the length of potential measures taken by governments to manage the spread of the virus, and their effect on labour availability and supply lines;
-
Availability of essential supplies, such as water and electricity;
-
Purchasing power of the Canadian dollar; or
-
Ability to obtain funding.
At the date of the approval of these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements, the Canadian federal and Ontario provincial governments have not introduced measures which impede the activities of Inventus. However, it is not possible to reliably estimate the length and severity of these developments and the impact on the financial results and condition of Inventus in future periods.
As is common with exploration companies, the Company is dependent upon obtaining financing to continue its ongoing and planned exploration activities and to cover administrative costs. The Company's ability to continue operations and fund its planned exploration and evaluation expenditures is dependent on management's ability to manage its expenditures and raise funds. The success of these endeavours cannot be predicted at this time. These conditions indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not reflect adjustments to the carrying values and classification of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern, and such adjustments may be material.

1. Nature of Operations and Going Concern (Continued)
Although the Company has taken steps to verify title to the properties on which it is conducting exploration and in which it has an interest, in accordance with industry standards for the current stage of exploration of such properties, these procedures do not guarantee the Company's title. Property title may be subject to unregistered prior agreements, unregistered claims, aboriginal claims and non-compliance with regulatory and environmental requirements.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
Statement of Compliance
The Company applies International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 - Interim Financial Reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information required for full annual financial statements required by IFRS as issued by the IASB.
The policies applied in these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements are based on IFRSs' issued and outstanding as of November 10, 2021, the date the Board of Directors approved the statements. The same accounting policies and methods of computation are followed in these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements as compared with the most recent annual consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2020. Any subsequent changes to IFRS that are given effect in the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2021 could result in restatement of these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

6. Lease obligations
At the commencement date of the lease, the lease liability was measured at the present value of the lease payments that were not paid at that date. The lease payments are discounted using an interest rate of 22.24%, which is the Company's incremental borrowing rate. The continuity of the lease liability is presented in the table below:

7. Loan payable
As part of the Canadian government funded COVID-19 financial assistance programs, the Company received a loan in the amount of $60,000 from the bank. The CEBA loan is due on December 31, 2025. The loan is interest free until December 31, 2022 and bears interest at 5% per annum thereafter. If at least 75% of the loan principal is paid on or before December 31, 2022, the balance of the loan will be forgiven. The benefit of the government loan received at below market rate of interest is treated as a government grant. The difference between the carrying amount and proceeds received is the value of the grant of $20,000. The Company recognized in income the value of the grant as it incurred the related expenses for which the grant was intended to compensate.

Each Unit consists of one common share of the Company (a “Common Share”) and one Common Share purchase warrant (a “Warrant”). Each Warrant is exercisable into a Common Share at $0.17 for two years.
In connection with the Offering, the Company paid a commission and other cash costs of $81,652 and issued 816,720 finders’ warrants with each finders’ warrant exercisable into a Unit at $0.105 per Unit for a period of one year. Certain related parties of the Company acquired an aggregate of 4,666,529 Units, for gross proceeds of $489,986. Evanachan Limited, a company which holds more than 10% of the outstanding shares of the Company and owned and controlled by Rob McEwen, acquired 2,381,000 Units.

9. Stock Options
The Company has a formal stock option plan (the "Plan"). The Plan is referred to as a "floating" plan and provides for an aggregate number of shares reserved for issuance of up to 10% of the Company's issued common shares at the time of the grant of a stock option under the Plan. The number of options granted to any one consultant in any 12month period cannot exceed 2% of outstanding shares. The aggregate number of shares reserved for issuance to any one optionee that is an officer, director or employee in any 12-month period cannot exceed 5% of the outstanding shares. The aggregate number of options granted to any optionee that provides investor relations service to the corporation in any 12-month period cannot exceed 2% of the issued and outstanding shares on a non-diluted basis at the time of the grant. Options granted under the plan generally vested upon issuance.

(1) On January 14, 2021, the Company announced that it has completed acquisition of 100% of three mineral properties adjoining the 100%-owned Sudbury 2.0 Project from Flag Resources (1985) Ltd. In connection with the transaction, Inventus issued 5 million common shares (valued at $1,300,000) and a 2% NSR royalty interest to Cooksville Steel Limited and has appointed Robert Miszczuk, President of Cooksville, as a director of the Company.
14. Segmented Information
The Company’s operations comprise a single reporting operating segment engaged in mineral exploration in Canada. As the operations comprise a single reporting segment, amounts disclosed in the consolidated financial statements also represent segment amounts.
15. Subsequent events
On October 4, 2021, 300,271 warrants with an exercise price of $0.17 were exercised for cash proceeds of $51,046.
In October, an agreement was signed between Inventus and Northern Sun Mining Corp. (“NSMC”) to use the Redstone Mill in Timmins to process the first 6,000 tonnes of the planned 50,000-tonne bulk sampling program. The Redstone Mill’s gravity and flotation flowsheet is ideal for processing Pardo’s gold mineralization and is expected to achieve high gold recovery (estimated at +92%) at commercially reasonable costs. Processing of the material from 007 is expected to proceed once customary regulatory approvals are obtained by NSMC.
In November, an additional 36 single cell mining claims (approximately 8 km2) adjoining the Sudbury 2.0 project were acquired from an arms-length prospector in exchange for a 1% NSR and $20,000 in cash. These claims contain multiple historic mine workings (est. 1890s) with substantial evidence of underground excavation. One of the historic mine workings, now named the Dorland Shafts, was discovered in 2021 and is of particular interest with no prior record of existence. A sample from this location in a muck pile returned an assay of 1.2% cobalt, 0.06% nickel, and 0.1 g/t gold (or 12.1 g/t gold equivalent).
