InZinc Mining Ltd.

Notes to Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited - Expressed in Canadian dollars) For the six months ended June 30, 2020

1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN

InZinc Mining Ltd. (the “Company”) was incorporated on October 24, 1997 under the laws of British Columbia and was continued under the Canada Business Corporations Act in June 2002. The Company’s registered and records office is at Suite 2300, Bentall 5, 550 Burrard Street, Box 30, Vancouver, BC, V6C 2B5. The Company’s head office is at P.O. Box 48268, Station Bentall Centre, Vancouver, BC, V7X 1A2. The Company is listed on the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSX-V”) under the trading symbol IZN.

The Company’s principal business activities include the acquisition and exploration of mineral exploration and evaluation assets in the United States and Canada. The Company has not yet determined whether its exploration and evaluation assets contain ore reserves that are economically recoverable. The recoverability of the amounts shown for exploration and evaluation assets are dependent upon the existence of economically recoverable reserves, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing to complete the development of those reserves, and upon future profitable production. To date, the Company has not earned any revenues and is considered to be in the exploration stage.

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue on a going-concern basis. 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 develop profitable operations. These condensed interim consolidated 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.

The continuance of the Company’s operations is dependent on obtaining sufficient additional financing in order to realize the recoverability of the Company’s investments in exploration and evaluation assets which is dependent upon the existence of economically recoverable reserves and market prices for the underlying minerals. Management closely monitors metal commodity prices, individual equity movements and the stock market to determine the appropriate course of action to be taken by the Company if favourable or adverse market conditions occur. Management estimates it has sufficient funds to operate for the upcoming twelve months.

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 have adversely affected workforces, economies, and financial markets globally, potentially leading to an economic downturn. 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 business or results of operations at this time.

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Statement of compliance

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements, including comparatives, have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") and the interpretations of the IFRS Interpretations committee. They do not include all disclosures required by International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") for annual financial statements, and, therefore, should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019, prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB.

Approval of the financial statements

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue by the Audit Committee and Board of Directors on August 26, 2020.

Notes to Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited - Expressed in Canadian dollars) For the six months ended June 30, 2020

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION (cont’d…)

Basis of presentation

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis except for certain non-current assets and financial instruments, which are measured at fair value. In addition, these condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting, except for cash flow information.

Functional and presentation currency

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, unless otherwise noted, which is the functional currency of the parent and of its subsidiary.

Basis of consolidation

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, N.P.R. (US) Inc., a Nevada corporation, the principal activity of which is exploration in the United States. Control exists when the Company has the power, directly or indirectly, to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. All inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation.

Significant estimates

The preparation of these condensed interim consolidated 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 condensed interim consolidated financial statements and the reported expenses during the period.

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.

Estimates are made when applying accounting policies. The critical estimates that have the most significant effects on the amounts recognized in the condensed interim consolidated financial statements are as follows:

Economic recoverability and probability of future economic benefits of exploration and evaluation assets

Management has determined that exploration, evaluation, and related costs incurred which were capitalized may have future economic benefits and may be economically recoverable. Management uses several criteria in its assessments of economic recoverability and probability of future economic benefits including, geologic and other technical information, a history of conversion of mineral deposits with similar characteristics to its own properties to proven and probable mineral reserves, the quality and capacity of existing infrastructure facilities, evaluation of permitting and environmental issues and local support for the project.

Valuation of share-based compensation

The Company uses the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model for valuation of share-based compensation. Option pricing models require the input of subjective assumptions including expected price volatility, interest rate, and forfeiture rate. Changes in the input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate and the Company’s earnings and equity reserves.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION (cont’d…)

Significant judgments

Information about critical judgments in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in these condensed interim consolidated financial statements are, but are not limited to, as follows:

Determination of functional currency

The Company determines the functional currency through an analysis of several indicators such as expenses and cash flow, financing activities, retention of operating cash flows, and frequency of transactions with the reporting entity.

7. EXPLORATION AND EVALUATION ASSETS

Title to exploration and evaluation assets involves inherent risks due to difficulties of determining the validity of certain mineral claims and leases as well as the potential for problems arising from the frequently ambiguous conveyancing history characteristic of many exploration and evaluation assets. The Company has investigated the titles to its exploration and evaluation assets and, to the best of its knowledge, the titles are in good standing.

West Desert property

The Company holds a 100% interest in various mining claims and a mineral lease referred to as the West Desert property (“West Desert”), located in Utah, USA. The property is subject to a 1.5% net smelter returns royalty (“NSR”) and a future cash payment of $1,000,000, upon the completion of a financing necessary to bring West Desert into production.

PX property

The Company holds a 100% interest in various mining claims referred to as the PX property (“PX”), located in Utah, USA.

Indy property

On October 17, 2016, subsequently amended April 2, 2020, the Company entered into an option agreement with Pac Shield Resources Inc. (“PSR”), a private British Columbia company, to acquire a 100% interest in and to certain mineral claims located in the central British Columbia referred to as the Indy Property (“Indy”).

To acquire Indy, the Company must make cash payments totaling $315,000, issue a total of 2,400,000 common shares, and complete work commitments of $2,600,000, as follows:

Acquisition Acquisition Acquisition Work

January 31, 2017 (completed) $ 30,000 200,000 $ -
January 31, 2018 (completed) 25,000 200,000 75,000

January 31, 2023 125,000 500,000 1,250,000
$ 315,000 2,400,000 $ 2,600,000

In addition, a $500,000 cash payment and the issuance of 500,000 shares of the Company will be made to PSR if the Company files a technical report establishing a 500,000,000 pound zinc resource on the property. A further $500,000 cash payment will be made to PSR should the Company file a technical report establishing a 750,000,000 pound zinc resource on the property.

The property is subject to a 1.0% NSR held by PSR (the “PSR NSR”) and a 1.5% NSR held by Kerry Curtis, nonexecutive Chairman of the Board and a director of the Company and a director and the controlling shareholder of PSR. On exercise of the option and prior to completion of a feasibility study on the property, the Company has the right to purchase the PSR NSR for $1,500,000.

12. SEGMENTED INFORMATION

The Company operates in one industry segment being the acquisition and exploration of mineral exploration and evaluation assets. The total assets attributable to the geographical locations relate primarily to exploration and evaluation assets and are all located as follows:

June 30, 2020 United States Canada Total
Exploration and evaluation assets $ 7,527,865 $ 1,053,218 $ 8,581,083
December 31, 2019 United States Canada Total
Exploration and evaluation assets $ 7,516,884 $ 1,014,968 $ 8,531,852

13. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT

Financial instruments measured at fair value are classified into one of three levels in the fair value hierarchy according to the relative reliability of the inputs used to estimate the fair values. 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.

Cash and marketable securities are measured at fair value using level 1 inputs. The value of receivables, reclamation deposits, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximates their carrying values.

Financial risk factors

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

Credit risk

The Company is exposed to industry credit risks arising from its cash holdings and receivables. The Company manages credit risk by placing cash with major Canadian financial institutions. The Company’s receivables are due from the Federal Government of Canada. Management believes that credit risk related to these amounts is nominal.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not have sufficient funds to meet its financial obligations when they are due. To manage liquidity risk, the Company reviews additional sources of capital and financing to continue its operations and discharge its commitments as they become due.

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 not exposed to interest rate risk as it does not have any significant financial instruments with interest rates, with the exception of cash. Interest earned on cash is based on prevailing bank account interest rates, which may fluctuate. A 1% change in interest rates would result in a nominal difference for the six months ended June 30, 2020.

13. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT (cont’d…)

Financial risk factors (cont’d…)

Foreign currency risk

The Company is exposed to foreign currency risk on fluctuations related to cash and accounts payables and accrued liabilities that are denominated in United States Dollars. A 10% change in foreign exchange rates would result in a nominal difference for the six months ended June 30, 2020.

Price risk

The Company has limited exposure 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.

14. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it, based on the funds available to the Company, in order to support the acquisition and exploration of exploration and evaluation assets. 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 defines capital that it manages as share capital, options and warrants.

The properties in which the Company currently has an interest are in the exploration stage; as such the Company has historically relied on the equity markets to fund its activities.

The Company will continue to assess new properties and seek to acquire an interest in additional properties if it feels there is sufficient geologic or economic potential and if it has adequate financial resources to do so.

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 restrictions.

There has been no significant change in the Company’s objectives, policies, and processes for managing its capital during the six months ended June 30, 2020.
