Jade Leader Corp. Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
(Expressed in Canadian Dollars) (Unaudited - Prepared by Management) December 31, 2020
1. Nature and continuance of operations
Jade Leader Corp. (“Jade Leader” or “the Company”) is engaged in the business of mineral exploration and development in Canada and the USA. The Company was incorporated under the laws of the Province of British Columbia, Canada and continued under the Business Corporations Act (Alberta). The address of its primary office is Suite 815, 808 - 4th Avenue SW, Calgary, Alberta, Canada, T2P 3E8. The Company's common shares are listed on the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange") under the symbol “JADE”.
Since inception, the efforts of the Company have been devoted to the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral properties. To date the Company has not received any revenue from mining operations and has not determined whether mineral properties contain ore reserves that are economically recoverable.
The Company incurred a net loss of $82,574 during the three month period ended December 31, 2020, (December 31, 2019 - $161,194). The Company has a deficit of $15,757,244 at December 31, 2020, (September 30, 2020 - $15,674,670). The Company’s ability to continue to explore and develop its mineral properties and to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to raise additional equity financing. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in achieving profitable operations given its early stage exploration, and no assurance that it will obtain financing. These material uncertainties cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments which could be significant should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
2. Basis of presentation
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard ("IAS") 34 "Interim Financial Reporting", using accounting policies consistent with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") and interpretation of the International Reporting Interpretations Committee ("IFRIC").
3. Significant accounting policies
The financial framework and accounting policies applied in the preparation of these unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements are consistent with those disclosed in its most recently completed Audited Annual Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended September 30, 2020. No new accounting policies have been adopted during the three month period ended December 31, 2020.

The common shares of Mindset Pharma Inc. were valued at their fair value, based on their trading price, at December 31, 2020. At September 30, 2020 Mindset Pharma Inc. had not yet been listed, consequently no value was assigned to the investment on that date.
7. Exploration and evaluation assets
Mineral properties are recognized in these financial statements in accordance with the accounting policies outlined in Note 3(f) "Exploration and evaluation assets" of the Audited Annual Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended September 30, 2020. Accordingly, their carrying values represent costs incurred to date, net of recoveries, abandonments and impairments. The recoverability of these amounts is dependent upon the existence of economically recoverable mineral reserves; the acquisition and maintenance of appropriate permits, licenses and rights; the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing to complete the development of properties where necessary, and upon future profitable operations; or alternatively, upon the Company’s ability to recover its costs through a disposition of its interests.
DJ Jade Project, Washington State, USA
During fiscal 2017, the Company acquired the DJ Jade project, in Washington State, USA through a combination of Option Agreement and staking.
The property, consisting of 18 existing and recently filed Lode Claims, covers an area of slightly more than 140 hectares. In fiscal 2019 the Company completed the acquisition of 100% of the optioned claims, subject to a 2% Net Smelter Royalty, (“NSR”), by having made a total of US $86,000 in property payments, and having incurred exploration costs of US $80,000 in accordance with the terms and timelines of the option agreement. The Company has the option to acquire one-half (1%), of the Royalty for the sum of US$500,000 in cash or equivalent value in Common shares of the Company. The Optionor also granted the Company the right, upon written notice, to acquire the remaining half, (1%), of the Royalty for the sum of US$1,000,000 in cash or equivalent value in Common Shares of the Company, thereby extinguishing the Royalty of the Optionor.
On July 20, 2017, the Company entered into an Assignment and Novation Agreement, with Jadex (the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary). Jadex agreed that it shall be bound by, observe and perform the duties and obligations of the Company, for the assigned interests.

to a 2% NSR, was completed during fiscal 2019. The Company may elect, upon written notice, to acquire one half (1%) of the NSR for US$20,000 in cash.

From time to time, the Company is required to advance amounts to service providers prior to their commencing exploration work on the mineral interest. The advance is applied to the invoiced services, generally through the final invoice. As these advances pertain to costs that form part of the long-term exploration and evaluation assets, they are classified as long-term. At December 31, 2020, the Company held $4,357 in respect of Wyoming Jade Fields in exploration and evaluation asset advances and deposits (September 30, 2020 - $4,357).

(Expressed in Canadian Dollars) (Unaudited - Prepared by Management) December 31, 2020
10. Share capital, stock options and warrants (continued) e) Warrant transactions and warrants outstanding (continued)
During the subsequent period from January 1, 2021 to February 11, 2021, the date of these financial statements, no warrants were issued or exercised and none expired.
11. Financial instruments
Financial instruments recorded at fair value are classified using a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to fair value measurements. The three levels of fair value are summarized below:
-
Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
-
Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for assets or liabilities either directly, (i.e. prices), or indirectly, (i.e. derived from prices); and
-
Level 3 - Inputs that are not based on observable market data.
The following summarizes the categories of the various financial instruments:
| Financial assets Financial assets measured at fair value: Short-term investments $ Financial assets measured at amortized cost: Cash Accounts receivable Financial liabilities Financial liabilities measured at amortized cost: Accounts payable and accrued liabilities $ |
Dec 31, 2020 | Sept 30, 2020 |
|---|---|---|
| **Carrying ** | value | |
| 3,760 $ 172,473 7,371 179,844 29,627 $ |
- | |
| 271,127 6,406 |
||
| 277,533 | ||
| 40,709 |
The above noted financial instruments are exclusive of any sales tax.
The carrying value of financial assets and liabilities measured at amortized cost approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of the instruments. Unless otherwise noted, it is management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest or credit risks arising from these financial instruments.
The Company undertakes transactions denominated in US currency through its exploration in the US; consequently, it is exposed to exchange rate fluctuations. The Company will acquire US funds from time to time to settle US$ denominated liabilities. At December 31, 2020, the Company had US$4,047 (CDN$5,489) (September 30, 2020 – US$8,152 (CDN$10,874)) in a US denominated bank account. The effect of a foreign currency increase or decrease of 10% on this cash holding would result in an increase or decrease of CDN$549 (September 30, 2020 – CDN$1,087). Additionally, at December 31, 2020, accounts payable and accrued liabilities include liabilities of US$8,445 (CDN$10,600) (September 30, 2020 - US$8,071 (CDN$10,766)) that must be settled in US$. The effect of a foreign currency increase or decrease of 10% on this liability would result in an increase or decrease of CDN$1,060 (September 30, 2020 – CDN$1,077) to the amount payable.

17. Segment disclosures
During the current period ended December 31, 2020, the comparative period ended December 31, 2019 and the year ended September 30, 2020, the Company was engaged in mineral exploration and all exploration activities were undertaken in Canada and/or the United States. Activities undertaken in both countries were similar in nature. As at December 31, 2020, the total value of non-current assets associated with United States operations is $1,140,057 (September 30, 2020 - $1,134,835), including exploration and evaluation asset advances and deposits of $4,357 (September 30, 2020 - $4,357), exploration and evaluation assets of $1,109,562 (September 30, 2020 - $1,103,483) and equipment and software of $26,138 (September 30, 2020 - $26,995). All remaining non-current assets are associated with Canadian operations.
18. Contingent liability
On October 24, 2019, Jadex Corporation was officially served documents naming Jadex, Jade Leader Corp., and Jean-Pierre Jutras as defendants in a lawsuit brought on by the plaintiff, a prospector, who seeks to claim ownership of some of the Jade samples collected during the 2019 trenching program in Wyoming. According to the plaintiff’s lawsuit, the amount of damages exceeds US$75,000, exclusive of interests and costs.
The Company believes that it has all records necessary to demonstrate that the samples came from the trenching program which they further believe confirms that they were obtained from the lode claims. Therefore, it is the Company’s position that this action is without support in fact and without merit. Regardless, the outcome of any legal action can be contrary to what the Company expects and may result in the requirement for the Company to pay compensation to the plaintiff. At this time the Company has no way to estimate what, if any future liability it might have relating to this legal action.

19. Novel coronavirus pandemic
In early January 2020, a human infection originating in China was traced to a novel strain of coronavirus. The virus subsequently spread to other parts of the world, including North America and Europe, and has caused unprecedented disruptions in the global economy as efforts to contain the spread of the virus have intensified. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared this outbreak of coronavirus (“COVID-19”) as a pandemic and it continues to spread throughout North America. The full extent and duration of the impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s operations and financial performance is currently unknown, and depends on future developments that are uncertain and unpredictable, including the duration and spread of the pandemic, its impact on capital and financial markets on a macro-scale and any new information that may emerge concerning the severity of the virus, its spread to other regions and the actions to contain the virus or treat its impact, among others. The Company was able to conduct its planned exploration programs for the summer of 2020, on its properties held in the United States (refer to Note 7 – “Exploration and evaluation assets”), after previously imposed travel restrictions as a result of COVID-19 were lifted July 1, 2020. There are no current COVID related work travel-related restrictions, though this may change. Nevertheless, there are currently no plans to return to the US properties until further financing is arranged. As the Company is an exploration stage company with no revenue sources, there is no impact on revenue from the coronavirus restrictions. The effect of the virus on the economy as a whole and the amount of discretionary income available to spend on Jade may have an impact on commodity prices, however the Company is not in a position to be producing and selling Jade on a commercial scale at this time.
