Jayden Resources Inc. Notes to the Condensed Interim Financial Statements For the six months ended June 30, 2020 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars)
1. Nature of operations and going concern
(a) Nature of operations
Jayden Resources Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the Province of British Columbia. On October 15, 2015, the Company’s common shares ceased trading on the TSE and began trading on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol JDN. On August 8, 2012, the Company changed its place of jurisdiction and was registered in the Cayman Islands as an exempted company with limited liability by way of continuation. Its subsidiary, Jayden Resources (Canada) Inc. (“Jayden Canada”) was disposed of during the year ended December 31, 2018, as such the financial statements have been deconsolidated. The Company is principally engaged in the business of acquiring, exploring and developing interests in mining projects. To date, the Company has not generated revenues from its principal activities and is considered to be in the exploration stage.
The head office and principal address of the Company are located at Zephyr House, Mary Street, PO Box 709, Grand Cayman KY1-1107, Cayman Islands. The registered and records office are located at Suite 2250, 1055 West Hastings Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6E 2E9.
(b) Going concern
These financial statements have been prepared on the basis of accounting principles applicable to a “going concern”, which assumes that the Company will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of operation, and do not give effect to any adjustments which would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern and therefore be required to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in other than the normal course of business and at amounts different from those reflected in the accompanying condensed interim financial statements.
The Company has not generated any revenues and has incurred accumulated deficits of $49,086,595 (2019: $38,731,427) since inception. During the period ended June 30, 2020 the Company generated negative cash flows from operations of $43,571 (2019: $155,589). The Company is not expected to generate cash inflow from its operation during the next twelve months and therefore must rely on securing additional funds from either debt or equity financings for cash consideration.
The continuation of the Company as a going concern is depended upon the Company’s ability to satisfy its liabilities as they become due and to obtain the necessary financing to complete the exploration and development of its mineral property interests, the attainment of profitable mining operations or the receipt of proceeds from the disposition of its mineral property interest. The Company is in the process of exploring its mineral property interests and has not yet determined whether its mineral property interests contain mineral reserves that are economically recoverable. The Company’s continuing operations, and the recoverability of the amounts shown for mineral properties 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 its mineral property interests, and on future profitable production or proceeds from the disposition of the mineral property interests. These matters and conditions, primarily as a result of the conditions described above, indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as going concern. If the going concern assumption is not appropriate, material adjustments to the financial statements could be required.

Jayden Resources Inc. Notes to the Condensed Interim Financial Statements For the six months ended June 30, 2020 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars)
2. Basis of presentation
(a) Statement of compliance
These condensed interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standards (“IAS”) 34, Interim Financial Reporting, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Boards (“IASB”), on a basis consistent with the significant accounting policies disclosed in the recent annual financial statements. These condensed interim financial statements were approved by the board of directors for issue on August 31, 2020.
(b) Basis of measurement
These condensed interim financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, under the historical cost basis except for financial instruments classified as financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss that have been measured at fair value. In addition, these condensed interim financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting, except for cash flow information.
(c) Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions
Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations as of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions
The Company makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below:
Deferred taxes
The Company recognizes the deferred tax benefit related to deferred tax assets to the extent recovery is probable. Assessing the recoverability of deferred tax assets requires management to make significant estimates of future taxable profit. In addition, future changes in tax laws could limit the ability of the Company to obtain tax deductions in the future periods. To the extent that future cash flows and taxable income differ significantly from estimates, the ability of the Company to realize the net deferred tax assets recorded at the reporting date could be impacted.
Critical judgments in applying the Company’s accounting policies
The following is the critical judgment, apart from those involving estimations that management have made in the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies and that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the financial statements.
Going concern
Management has applied judgments in the assessment of the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern when preparing its condensed interim financial statements for the period ended June 30, 2020. Management prepares the financial statements on a going concern basis unless management either intends to liquidate the entity or to cease trading, or has no realistic alternative but to do so. In assessing whether the going concern assumption is appropriate, management takes into account all available information about the future, which is at least, but is not limited to, twelve months from the end of the reporting period. Management considered a wide range of factors relating to current and expected profitability, debt repayment schedules and potential sources of replacement financing. As a result of the assessment, management concluded the ultimate appropriateness of the use of accounting principles applicable to a going concern.

2. Basis of presentation (continued)
(c) Critical accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions (continued)
COVID-19
Given the ongoing and dynamic nature of the circumstances surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, it is difficult to predict how significant the impact of COVID-19, including any responses to it, will be on the global economy and the business of the Company or for how long any disruptions are likely to continue. The extent of such impact will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain, rapidly evolving and difficult to predict, including new information which may emerge about COVID-19 and additional actions which may be taken to contain it. Such developments could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flow, and exposure to credit risk.
The Company is constantly evaluating the situation and monitoring any impacts or potential impacts to its business.
3. Significant accounting policies
(a) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at banks and on hand, and short-term money market instruments with an original maturity of three months or less when acquired, which are readily convertible into a known amount of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value. The cash and cash equivalents are mainly denominated in Canadian dollars and Hong Kong dollars. At June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the cash and cash equivalents held by the Company comprised of bank balances and cashable guaranteed investment certificates (“GICs”). GICs are matured in one year and are eligible for immediate cancellation after a 30 day hold period with interest earned to the date of cancellation. The GICs earn respective interest prime – 2.70% and 1.0% per annum (2019 - prime - 2.60% and 0.9% per annum).
(b) Interest income
Interest income from financial assets is accrued on a timely basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest rate applicable, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial assets to that asset’s carrying amount.
(c) Financing costs
The costs related to equity transactions are deferred until the closing of the equity transactions. These costs are accounted for as a deduction from equity. Transaction costs of abandoned equity transactions are recognized in profit or loss.
10
Jayden Resources Inc. Notes to the Condensed Interim Financial Statements For the six months ended June 30, 2020 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars)
3. Significant accounting policies (continued)
- (d) Share-based payment transactions
The share option plan allows the Company employees (including directors and senior executives) and consultants to acquire shares of the Company. The fair value of options granted is recognized as an employee or consultant expense with a corresponding increase in equity. An individual is classified as an employee when the individual is an employee for legal or tax purposes (direct employee) or provides services similar to those performed by a direct employee.
The costs of equity-settled transactions are recognized, together with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period in which the performance and/or service conditions are fulfilled, ending on the date on which the relevant employees become fully entitled to the award (“the vesting date”). The cumulative expense recognized for equity-settled transactions at each reporting date until the vesting date reflects the Company’s best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest. The charge or credit for a period recognized in profit or loss represents the movement in cumulative expense recognized as at the beginning and end of that period and the corresponding amount is represented in share option reserve. No expense is recognized for awards that do not ultimately vest.
At the time when the share options are exercised, the amount previously recognized in share option reserve is transferred to share capital. When vested options are forfeited or are not exercised at the expiry date the amount previously recognized in share option expenses is transferred to accumulated losses.
Where the terms of an equity-settled award are modified, the minimum expense recognized is the expense as if the terms had not been modified. An additional expense is recognized for any modification which increases the total fair value of the share-based payment arrangement, or is otherwise beneficial to the employee as measured at the date of modification.
In situations where equity instruments are issued and some or all of the goods or services received by the entity as consideration cannot be specifically identified, they are measured at fair value of the share-based payment. Otherwise, share-based payments are measured at the fair value of goods or services received.
The Company grants stock options to buy common shares of the Company to directors, officers and employees. The board of directors grants such options for periods of up to five years, which vest immediately and priced at the previous day’s closing price.
- (e) Warrants issued in equity financing transactions
The Company engages in equity financing transaction to obtain the funds necessary to continue operations and explore and evaluate mineral properties. These equity financing transactions may involve issuance of common shares or units. Each unit comprises a certain number of common share and a certain number of warrants. Depending on the terms and conditions of each equity financing transaction, the warrants are exercisable into additional common shares at a price prior to expiry as stipulated by the transaction.
The carrying amount of the warrants that are part of units is determined based on any difference between gross proceeds and the estimated fair market value of the shares and included in share capital with the common shares that were concurrently issued. Warrants that are issued as payment for agency fee or other transactions costs are accounted for as share-based payments.

3. Significant accounting policies (continued)
(f) Earnings(loss) per share
Basic earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the earnings (loss) for the year by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is calculated using the treasury stock method. Under the treasury stock method, the weighted average number of shares outstanding used in the calculation of diluted earnings (loss) per share assumes that the deemed proceeds received from the exercise of stock options, share purchase warrants and their equivalents would be used to repurchase common shares of the Company at the average market price during the year.
(g) Translation of foreign currencies
The functional and presentation currency of the Company is the Canadian dollar as this is the principal currency of the economic environment in which they operate. Transactions in foreign currencies (currencies other than Canadian dollars) are initially recorded in the Company’s functional currency at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the functional currency rate of exchange ruling at the end of each reporting period. All gains and losses on translation of these foreign currency transactions are included in profit or loss.
(h) Income taxes
Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Current tax and deferred tax are recognized in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to a business combination, or items recognized directly in equity or in other comprehensive income.
Current tax is the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.
Deferred tax is recognized in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is not recognized for the following temporary differences: the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss, and differences relating to investments in subsidiaries and jointly controlled entities to the extent that it is probable that they will not reverse in the foreseeable future. In addition, deferred tax is not recognized for taxable temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of goodwill. Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they reverse, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.
A deferred tax asset is recognized for unused tax losses, tax credits and deductible temporary differences, to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be utilized. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realized.
(i) Related parties
Parties are considered to be related if one party has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operating decisions. Parties are also considered to be related if they are subject to common control, related parties may be individuals or corporate entities. A transaction is considered to be a related party transaction when there is a transfer of resources or obligations between related parties.

3. Significant accounting policies (continued)
- (j) Discontinued operation
Classification as a discontinued operation occurs on disposal or when the operation meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale, if earlier. When an operation is classified as a discontinued operation, the Statements of Income (Loss) is represented in a format as if the operation had been discontinued from the start of the comparative period.
The Company presents the Net Income from Discontinued Operations as net amount on the Statements of Income (Loss).
- (k) Financial Instruments
Financial assets
The Company recognizes financial assets when it becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. The classification and measurement of financial assets is based on the Company’s business models for managing its financial assets and whether the contractual cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest (“SPPI”). Financial assets are initially measured at fair value and are subsequently measured at either (i) amortized cost; (ii) fair value through other comprehensive income, or (iii) at fair value through profit or loss.
• Amortized cost
Financial assets classified and measured at amortized cost are those assets that are held within a business model whose objective is to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows, and the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise to cash flows that are SPPI. Financial assets classified at amortized cost are measured using the effective interest method. The Company’s financial asset classified as amortized costs includes cash and cash equivalents.
• Fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVTOCI”)
Financial assets classified and measured at FVTOCI are those assets that are held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets, and the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise to cash flows that are SPPI. This classification includes certain equity instruments where IFRS 9 allows an entity to make an irrevocable election to classify the equity instruments, on an instrument-by-instrument basis, that would otherwise be measured at fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”) to present subsequent changes in FVTOCI.
• Fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”)
Financial assets classified and measured at FVTPL are those assets that do not meet the criteria to be classified at amortized cost or at FVTOCI. This category includes debt instruments whose cash flow characteristics are not SPPI or are not held within a business model whose objective is either to collect contractual cash flows, or to both collect contractual cash flows and sell the financial asset.
The Company recognizes a loss allowance for the expected credit losses associated with its financial assets, other than debt instruments measured at fair value through profit or loss and equity investments. Expected credit losses are measured to reflect a probability-weighted amount, the time value of money, and reasonable and supportable information regarding past events, current conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions.
The Company derecognizes a financial asset when its contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire.

3. Significant accounting policies (continued)
- (k) Financial Instruments (continued)
Financial liabilities
The Company’s financial liabilities are generally classified and measured at fair value at initial recognition and subsequently measured at amortized cost. The Company’s financial liabilities classified as amortized costs include accounts payable and accrued liabilities.
The Company derecognizes a financial liability only when its contractual obligations are discharged, cancelled or expire.
- (l) Recent accounting pronouncements and future changes in accounting standards
The Company did not adopt any new accounting standard changes or amendments in 2020 that had a material impact on the Company’s financial statements. The following amendment was adopted by the Company for the year ended December 31, 2019:
IFRS 16 Leases
On January 13, 2016, the International Accounting Standards Board published a new standard, IFRS 16, Leases, eliminating the current dual accounting model for lessees, which distinguishes between on-balance sheet finance leases and off-balance sheet operating leases. Under the new standard, a lease becomes an on-balance sheet liability that attracts interest, together with a new right-of-use asset. In addition, lessees will recognize a frontloaded pattern of expense for most leases, even when cash rentals are constant. IFRS 16 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019, with earlier adoption permitted. The Company has adopted IFRS 16 from January 1, 2019. There is no impact from the adoption of IFRS 16 on the Company’s financial statements because the Company does not have any lease agreement in effect during the period ended June 30, 2020.
The Company has reviewed new accounting pronouncements that have been issued but are not yet effective. The Company will continue to evaluate the impact these standards will have on the financial statements when they are finalized. Currently the effect is expected to be immaterial. These standards include:
IFRS 3 Business Combinations (Amendment)
In October 2018, the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) issued amendments to IFRS 3, incorporated into Part I of the CPA Canada Handbook – Accounting by the Accounting Standards Board (AcSB) in December 2018. The amendments clarify the definition of a business, permitting a simplified assessment to determine whether a transaction should be accounted for as a business combination or as an asset acquisition. The amendments are effective for transactions for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after January 1, 2020. Earlier application is permitted.

8. Financial instruments
The Company is exposed to financial risks through its use of financial instruments in its ordinary course of operations. The financial risks include market risk (including currency risk, interest rate risk and other price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Company does not have any written risk management policies and guidelines. However, the board of directors meets regularly and co-operates closely with key management to identify and evaluate risks and to formulate strategies to manage financial risks. The Company has not used any derivatives or other instruments for hedging purposes and does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. The most significant risks to which the Company is exposed to are described below.
(i) Currency risk
Some of the operating expenses and cash & equivalents held are denominated in foreign currencies and as such are subject to currency risk. The Company does not enter into derivative financial instruments to mitigate this risk but the Company does not believe its net exposure to foreign exchange risk is significant as most funds are held by the Company in CAD.
(ii) Credit risk
The Company’s cash & cash equivalent is held in authorized Canadian financial institutions. The Company does not have any asset-backed commercial paper. Management believes that the credit risk concentration with respect to its financial instruments is minimal.
The Company adopts conservative investment strategies. Usually investments are in liquid securities quoted on recognized stock exchanges. No margin trading is allowed. Loans and financial guarantees to individuals on non-Group entities have to be approved by the board of directors. The board monitors the Company’s overall investment position and exposure on a day to day basis.
The credit and investment policies have been followed by the Company since prior years and are considered to have been effective in limiting the Company’s exposure to credit risk to a desirable level.
(iii) Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company has interest-bearing assets in relation to cash at banks and GICs carried at floating interest rates with reference to the market and non-interest bearing director’s loans. The Company’s operating cash flows are substantially independent of changes in market interest rates. The Company has not used any financial instrument to hedge potential fluctuations in interest rates. The exposure to interest rates for the Company is considered minimal. The Company has no interest bearing borrowings.
The policies to manage interest rate risk have been followed by the Company since prior years and are considered to be effective.

(iv) Liquidity risk
The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on management’s ability to raise required funding through future equity issuances. The Company manages its liquidity risk by forecasting cash flows from operations and anticipating any investing and financing activities. Management and the board of directors are actively involved in the review, planning and approval of significant expenditures and commitments.
The liquidity policies have been followed by the Company since prior years and are considered to have been effective in managing liquidity risk.
(v) Fair value measurements
The following table presents financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value in the statement of financial position in accordance with the fair value hierarchy. The hierarchy groups financial assets into three levels based on the relative reliability of significant inputs used in measuring the fair value of these financial assets. The fair value hierarchy has the following three levels:
Level 1 – quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets; Level 2 – inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); and
Level 3 – inputs for the asset that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the financial asset is categorized in its entirety is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
The marketable securities are grouped into level 1 as at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.
There have been no significant transfers between levels 1 and 2 in the respective reporting periods. The methods and valuation techniques used for the purpose of measuring fair value are unchanged compared to the previous reporting periods.
Financial instruments that are not measured at fair value on the balance sheet are represented by cash and cash equivalents and accounts payable and accrued liabilities. The fair value of these financial instruments approximates their carrying value due to their short-term nature.

9. Capital risk management
The Company’s capital management objectives are to insure the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern so as to benefit from its operations to provide an adequate return for its shareholders.
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, exploration and development of mineral properties. The Company defines capital that it manages as its shareholders’ equity. 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 has historically relied on the equity markets to fund the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral properties. In addition, the Company is dependent upon external financings to fund activities. In order to carry out planned exploration and pay for administrative costs, the Company will spend its existing working capital and raise additional funds as needed. 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 requirements.
