K92 MINING INC.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS September 30, 2020

(Presented in thousands of United States Dollars, except share and per share amounts, unless otherwise noted)

1. NATURE OF BUSINESS

K92 Mining Inc. (the “ Company ”) was incorporated pursuant to the provisions of the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) on March 22, 2010. The Company’s shares are listed on Tier 1 of the TSX Venture Exchange (“ TSX-V ”) under the symbol KNT and the OTCQB under the symbol KNTNF. The Company is currently engaged in the exploration, development and mining of mineral deposits in Papua New Guinea, specifically the Kainantu Project.

The Company’s head office, principal, registered and records office is 488 - 1090 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, V6E 3V7.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION

Statement of Compliance

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board applicable to the preparation of interim financial statements, including IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting . These condensed interim consolidated financial statements are compliant with IAS 34 and do not include all of the information required for full annual financial statements.

Basis of Presentation

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements of the Company are presented in United States dollars, which is the functional currency of K92 Mining Ltd. and K92 Holdings International Limited. The parent company, K92 Mining Inc., has a functional currency of the Canadian Dollar (CAD) and K92 Mining (Australia) Pty Ltd. has a functional currency of the Australian Dollar (AUD).

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Company’s accounting policies are the same as those applied in the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements for the year-ended December 31, 2019. These condensed interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s most recent annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019.

COVID-19 Estimation Uncertainty

Since March 2020, several measures have been implemented in Canada, Australia, Papua New Guinea and the rest of the world in response to the impact of the coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic. While the global impact of COVID19 is expected to be temporary, the current circumstances are dynamic and the impacts of COVID-19 on the Company’s business operations, including the impact on our future production, cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.

While the Company’s mine continues to operate, if the COVID-19 situation in Papua New Guinea were to significantly deteriorate, it could have an adverse impact on our business, results of operations, financial position and cash flows.

(Presented in thousands of United States Dollars, except share and per share amounts, unless otherwise noted)

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d…)

COVID-19 Estimation Uncertainty (cont’d…)

The Company has initiated a COVID-19 Management Plan at the Kainantu mine site, which addresses immediate issues including occupational health, hygiene and safety, business continuity, travel, supply chain, statutory compliance, communications, testing, risk assessment and contingency planning.

In line with other mining operations in the country, the Company maintained normal operations at the Kainantu mine and associated facilities during the local state of emergency and received exemptions from the PNG Government to allow for the movement of PNG Nationals within PNG and of Expatriate workers from Australia during that period. After the Government of Papua New Guinea lifted the state of emergency, the Company experienced a significant improvement in the movement of personnel, and as a result our twin incline and surface exploration activities have resumed and final commissioning of the Stage 2 Plant Expansion was completed.

4. ACQUISITION OF BARRICK (KAINANTU) LIMITED

Through its wholly owned subsidiary, K92 Holdings (PNG) Limited (“ K92PNG ”), on June 11, 2014, K92 International Holdings Limited (“ K92 Intl ”) entered into a Share Sale Agreement (“ SSA ”) with Barrick (Niugini) Limited (“ Barrick ”), Mt Apex Investment Holdings Limited (“ Apex ”), and the Company, whereby K92PNG agreed to acquire all of the outstanding shares of Barrick’s wholly owned Papua New Guinea subsidiary, Barrick (Kainantu) Limited (“ Kainantu ”), that holds certain assets and mineral rights and interests in Papua New Guinea.

As consideration, K92PNG paid $2.0 million and upon achievement of certain milestones, a contingent payment of up to $60.0 million. On July 17, 2019, the Company entered into an amendment agreement with Barrick Gold Corporation revising the contingent payment to a fixed payment of $12.5 million paid on August 23, 2019 and capitalized as part of additions to Mineral Properties (Note 8). The Company paid $0.3 million (AUD$0.4 million) in agent fees in connection with the amendment agreement, capitalized as part of additions to Mineral Properties (Note 8).

Pursuant to the PNG Mining Act, a 2% net smelter returns royalty, and a 0.50% levy on gross mine revenues are payable.

Landowners’ compensation

The Company has obligations to compensate landowners annually who are affected by the operations of the Kainantu mine. These compensation amounts are governed by the Papua New Guinean Mining Act 1992 and a land and environment compensation agreement (“ CA ”) for Mining Lease 150 (“ ML 150 ”) that the prior owner of the Kainantu mine entered into with the Billmoia Landowners Association Incorporation (“ BLA ”) and certain landowners / clans listed in the agreement. The actual recipients of the compensation determined under the CA and landowners’ share of sales royalty cannot be paid as required under the CA until the legitimate landowners are identified by the Papua New Guinean Land Titles Commission (“ LTC ”) and so compensation payments have been accrued but not paid.

11. RECLAMATION AND CLOSURE COST OBLIGATIONS (cont’d…)

The provision has been measured as the present value of the estimated future rehabilitation costs using an estimated mine life of 12 years. The estimated cash-flows used to measure the provision were discounted to a present value using a risk-free discount rate of 7.35% (December 31, 2019 – 7.35%).

On an annual basis, the Company reviews the estimate of future costs of required reclamation and closure work. The current total estimate for all properties anticipates undiscounted future cash outflows to meet required legislative standards for reclamation and closure work in the amount of $6.3 million, with first expenditures anticipated in 2031. These future cash outflows have been discounted at the risk-free interest rate considered applicable in Papua New Guinea where the Company’s properties are located.

Share-based payments

The Company has a stock option plan under which it is authorized to grant options to executive officers and directors, employees and consultants enabling them to acquire up to 10% of the issued and outstanding common stock of the Company. The fair value of stock options is determined by the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model with assumptions for risk-free interest rates, dividend yields, expected share price volatility factors, forfeiture rate, and expected life of the options. Under the plan the exercise price of each option equals the market price of the Company’s stock as calculated on the date of grant.

12. SHARE CAPITAL AND RESERVES (cont’d…)

Share-based payments (cont’d…)

The following weighted average assumptions were used for the valuation of stock options:

September 30, 2020 December 31, 2019
Risk-free interest rate 1.07% 1.51%
Expected life of options 4.0 years 4.0 years
Annualized volatility 68.97% 62.96%
Dividend rate 0.00% 0.00%
Forfeiturerate 1.29% 1.29%

The weighted average fair value of the options granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was CAD$2.33 (2019 - CAD$0.84).

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company recorded stock-based compensation expense of $4.7 million (2019 – $1.9 million).

13. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT

Financial assets and liabilities are classified in the fair value hierarchy according to the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgement and may affect placement within the fair value hierarchy levels. The hierarchy is as follows:

  • Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

  • Level 2: inputs other than quotes prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e., as prices) or indirectly (i.e., derived from prices).

  • Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

The carrying values of cash, other receivables, trade and other payables, and the amortized cost of the loan approximate their fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

A portion of the Company’s trade receivables arose from provisional concentrate sales and are valued using quoted market prices based on the forward London Metal Exchange.

Fair value estimates of financial instruments are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant information about financial markets and specific financial instruments. As these estimates are subjective in nature, involving uncertainties and matters of significant judgment, they cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions can significantly affect estimated fair values.
