C2C Gold Corp. (formerly Taku Gold Corp.) Notes to the Condensed Interim Financial Statements Three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 (Unaudited – Expressed in Canadian Dollar)
1. NATURE AND CONTINUANCE OF OPERATIONS
C2C Gold Corp. (formerly Taku Gold Corp.) (the “Company”) was incorporated on July 19, 1999, under the laws of the province of British Columbia, Canada, and its principal activity is acquisition and exploration of mineral properties in Canada. The principal address of the Company is at 1771 Robson Street – 1221, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
The Company is a reporting issuer in the provinces of Alberta and British Columbia. Effective November 25, 2020, reflecting the Company’s new focus in Newfoundland, the Company changed its name from Taku Gold Corp. to C2C Gold Corp. The Company is currently trading under its new name and ticker symbol “CTOC” (formerly “TAK”) on the Canadian Securities Exchange (“CSE”) and “CTCGF” (formerly “TAKUF”) on the OTCQB.
The Company has no source of operating cash flow and operations to date have been funded primarily from the issue of share capital. As at March 31, 2022, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $20,751,165 (December 31, 2021 - $20,412,410) and incurred a net loss and comprehensive loss for the three-month period of $338,755 (2021 - income of $173,252). As at March 31, 2022, the Company has a working capital of $1,676,355 (December 31, 2021 - $338,776).
The Company is an exploration stage company focused on the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties in Canada and has not yet determined the existence of economically recoverable reserves. The recoverability of the amounts shown for interests in mineral properties is dependent upon the discovery of economically recoverable reserves or proceeds from the disposition thereof, confirmation of the Company’s interest in the underlying mineral claims, the ability of the Company to obtain financing to complete development of the properties and on future profitable operations. The Company’s continued operations are dependent on its ability to raise additional funding from equity financings, loans, or other arrangements. There is no assurance that future financing activities will be successful. These conditions give rise to a material uncertainty, which casts significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, and therefore, its ability to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the ordinary course of operations. These financial statements do not reflect the adjustments to the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the reported expenses and balance sheet classifications that would be necessary were the going concern assumption not appropriate. Such adjustments could be material.
In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared a global pandemic caused by the outbreak of a novel coronavirus identified as “COVID-19.” In order to combat the spread of COVID-19, governments worldwide have enacted emergency measures including travel bans, legally enforced or self-imposed quarantine periods, social distancing and business and organization closures. These measures have caused material disruptions to businesses, governments and other organizations, resulting in an economic slowdown and increased volatility in national and global equity and commodity market for the past year.
As governments and health authorities worldwide gradually lifting emergency measures in the coming year, it is expected the disruptions will be mitigated and economy will return to normal steadily. The Company has and will continue to monitor and take measures recommended by Health Canada and applicable regulatory bodies, as appropriate. However, with new variants of COVID-19 still being detected, it is difficult to predict the duration of the outbreak and the extent of the impact that may have on the Company. There can be no assurance that the Company will not be further impacted by adverse consequences of the continued COVID-19 pandemic, which may affect resource and share prices, financial liquidity, access to supplies and the Company’s ability to retain its contractors.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
a. Basis of presentation
These condensed interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the International Accounting Standards (“IAS”) 34, Interim Financial Reporting, using accounting policies consistent with the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and Interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”). The policies applied in these condensed interim financial statements are based on IFRS issued and effective as of March 31, 2022. The Board of Directors approved the condensed interim financial statements for issue on May 19, 2022.
b. Basis of measurement
These financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, except for certain financial instruments, which are measured at fair value.
c. Significant accounting policies
These condensed interim financial statements follow the same accounting policies and methods of computation as the most recent audited annual financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2021. Accordingly, these condensed interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s most recent annual audited financial statements.
3. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGMENTS
The preparation of the Company’s financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates and assumptions are based on management’s experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. However, actual outcomes can differ from these estimates.
The effect of a change in an accounting estimate is recognized prospectively by including it in comprehensive income in the year of change, if the change affects that year only, or in the year of the change and in future years, if the change affects both.
Information about critical judgments in applying accounting policies that have the most significant risk of causing material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities recognized in the financial statements within the next financial year are discussed below:
Exploration and evaluation assets
The application of the Company’s accounting policy for exploration and evaluation assets requires significant judgment in determining if a mineral property is impaired. The Company follows the guidance in IFRS 6 to determine when a mineral property is impaired. In making this judgement, the Company evaluates, among other factors, the results of exploration and evaluation activities to date and the Company’s future plans to explore and evaluate the property.

3. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGMENTS (CONTINUED)
Valuation of share-based payments
The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model for valuation of share-based payments. 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.
Going concern
The determination of the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern requires significant judgement. Adjustments to the condensed interim financial statements are required if the going concern assumption proved inappropriate could be material.
4. MARKETABLE SECURITIES
As at March 31, 2022, marketable securities comprise 200,000 common shares (December 31, 2021 - 200,000) in publicly traded company, Independence Gold Corp., valued at $23,000 (December 31, 2021 - $20,000) and 2,000,000 common shares (December 31, 2021 - 2,000,000) in publicly traded company, Engineer Gold Mines Ltd., valued at $70,000 (December 31, 2021 - $70,000).
5. ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
As at March 31, 2022, accounts receivable consists of goods and services tax receivable of $319,368 (December 31, 2021 - $258,652) and the release of reclamation deposit of $25,000 (December 31, 2021 - $25,000) following the sale of the TAG property. Accounts receivable is valued at amortized cost.
6. RECLAMATION BONDS
As at March 31, 2022, the Company has $69,250 (December 31, 2021 - $69,250) on deposit as security for future reclamation costs.

Lake Douglas and South Tally Property
During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company entered into an option and joint venture agreement (the “JV Agreement”) with Buchans Resources Limited (“Buchans”) whereby Buchans will grant the Company an option to acquire up to a 70% ownership interest in 364 mineral claims covering the Lake Douglas and South Tally properties (the “Properties”). Pursuant to the JV Agreement, the Company will exercise an initial option (the “First Option”) to earn a 51% ownership interest in the Properties by issuing 100,000 common shares (issued) to Buchans and incur exploration expenditures of $1,500,000 over a four-year period. A joint venture is formed with the Company owning 51% and Buchans owning 49% upon completion of the First Option. If Buchans elects not to participate in the joint venture, the Company will have the right to exercise a second option to earn an additional 19% ownership interest by incurring additional exploration expenditures in the minimum of $1,000,000 on the Properties on or prior to the date that is five years from the date of the JV Agreement. The JV Agreement also contains a provision that if a base-metal (not precious-metal) dominant area is identified, then Buchans would become the operator of this base metal joint venture with Buchans owning 70% and the Company owning 30%. Dilution of either party’s joint venture interest to below 10% will result in that party’s joint venture interest converting to a 2% NSR royalty, of which the majority joint venture interest owner can purchase 1% for $1,500,000.

13. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Fair Value
Financial instruments include cash and any contract that give rise to a financial asset to one party and a financial liability or equity instrument to another party. The Company's cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable are categorized as financial assets measured at amortized costs. Marketable securities are categorized as assets measured at fair value through profile and loss. Accounts payable and accrued liabilities, due to related party and advance are categorized as financial liabilities measured at amortized cost. The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, due to related party and advance are considered to be reasonable approximations of their fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

13. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONTINUED)
Fair Value (Continued)
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.
As at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company's marketable securities are based on level 1 inputs of the fair value hierarchy and the values are based on the closing trading price of the shares on public stock exchanges at the period-end date.
Financial Risk Management
Market risk
Market risk is the risk of loss that may arise from changes in market fluctuations such as those listed below. The fluctuations may be significant.
Foreign exchange risk
The Company operates mainly in Canada, but a small portion of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities are denominated in US dollars. The Company does not undertake currency-hedging activities but continuously monitors its exposure to foreign exchange risk to determine if any mitigation strategies warrant consideration.
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of loss associated with counterparty’s inability to fulfill its payment obligations. The Company's credit risk is primarily attributable to cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and reclamation bonds. The Company has no significant concentration of credit risk arising from operations. Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash held in bank accounts and accounts receivable consist primarily of goods and services tax receivable from the government of Canada, for which management believes the risk of loss to be minimal. Reclamation bonds consist of term deposits and guaranteed investment certificates, which have been invested with a major Canadian financial institution, from which management believes the risk of loss to be minimal.
Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk mainly arises from the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, which receive interest based on market interest rates. Fluctuations in interest cash flows due to changes in market interest rates are not significant.

Financial Risk Management (Continued)
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its current obligations as they become due. The Company prepares annual exploration and administrative budgets and monitors expenditures to manage shortterm liquidity. Due to the nature of the Company’s activities, funding for long-term liquidity needs is dependent on the Company’s ability to obtain additional financing through various means, including equity financing. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain adequate financing or that the terms of such financing will be favorable. As at March 31, 2022, the Company has a working capital of $1,676,355 (December 31, 2021 - $338,776).
Price risk
The Company is exposed to price risk with respect to equity prices. Equity price risk is the risk of loss associated with movements in individual equity prices or general movements in the level of the stock market. The Company closely monitors individual equity movements and the stock markets to determine appropriate actions to be taken by the Company. The Company has investments in certain publicly traded companies (marketable securities), and there can be no assurance that the Company can exit these positions if required, so there is a risk that proceeds may not approximate the carrying value of these investments.
As at March 31, 2022, a 10% fluctuation in the price of the Company’s marketable securities would increase or decrease comprehensive loss by $9,300 (December 31, 2021 - $9,000).
Capital Management
The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern in order to pursue the exploration and development of its mineral properties, acquire additional mineral property interests and to maintain a flexible capital structure that optimizes the costs of capital at an acceptable level of risk. In the management of capital, the Company includes components of shareholders’ equity. The Company manages the capital structure and adjusts it in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may attempt to issue new shares, issue debt, acquire or dispose of assets or adjust the amount of cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities.
The Company is not currently subject to externally imposed capital requirements. There were no changes in the Company’s approach to capital management during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021.
