K92 MINING INC. NOTES TO THE CONDENSED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS September 30, 2021

(Tabular amounts 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 the Toronto Stock Exchange (“ TSX ”) under the symbol “KNT” and quoted on the OTCQX 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, 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 as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IFRS) 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 are presented in United States (“U.S.”) dollars. Financial information for the Company and each of its subsidiaries is measured using its functional currency, being the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates. Effective January 1, 2021, the functional currency for K92 Mining Inc, the parent entity and K92 Mining (Australia) Pty Ltd. changed from Canadian and Australian dollars respectively to the U.S. dollar as a result of the integration of the activities of these entities with that of the Company’s U.S. dollar functional currency operating subsidiary K92 Mining Limited. The change in functional currency was accounted for on a prospective basis, with no impact of this change on prior year comparative information.

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, 2020. 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, 2020.

The significant accounting policy judgments made by management in applying the Company’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty are substantially the same as those that management applied in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020.

COVID-19 Estimation Uncertainty

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared a global pandemic related to COVID-19. In response, the Company implemented a comprehensive COVID-19 Management Plan, which addresses issues including occupational health, hygiene and safety, business continuity, travel, supply chain, statutory compliance, communications, testing, risk assessment and contingency planning.

Landowners’ compensation

The Company has obligations to compensate landowners annually who are affected by the operations of the Kainantu mine. These compensations are governed by the Papua New Guinean Mining Act 1992 and the 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.

9. 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 7.07% (December 31, 2020 – 6.26%).

Annually, 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 $6.4 million, with first expenditures anticipated in 2030. 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.

10. LEASE LIABILITIES

The Company leases many assets including mining equipment and buildings. The assets associated with the lease liabilities are included as Right-of-Use assets within property, plant and equipment (Note 7). During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company incurred $0.2 million (2020 - $0.2 million) related to interest and finance expenses on the lease liabilities.

The following table summarizes the Company’s lease activity and the carrying amounts of the lease liabilities at the present value of the remaining lease payments that are recognized in the statement of financial position:

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

Share-based payments

The fair value of stock options is determined by the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model with assumptions for riskfree interest rates, dividend yields, expected volatility, 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.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company granted 2,420,000 stock options (2020 – 3,154,000). The following presents the weighted average assumptions used in the valuation of stock options:

September 30, 2021 December 31, 2020
Weighted average exercise price (CAD$) $ 8.02 $ 5.64
Weighted average fair value (CAD$) $ 3.88 $ 2.80
Risk-free interest rate 0.93% 0.70%
Expected life of options 4.0 years 4.0 years
Annualized volatility 63.45% 66.13%
Dividend rate 0.00% 0.00%
Forfeiturerate 1.26% 1.26%

The weighted average share price at the time of exercise for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was CAD$8.16 (2020 – CAD$6.33).

During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company recorded total stock-based compensation expense of $10.2 million (2020 – $4.7 million) including the amounts allocated to inventory during the period.

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 judgment 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 quoted 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 levels in the fair value hierarchy into which the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that are measured and recognized at fair value were categorized as follows:

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

The fair value of the Company’s trade receivables, derivative assets and derivative liabilities were determined using observable market prices and market-derived inputs. There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 during the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

As at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

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.

14. SEGMENTED INFORMATION

Operating segments are components of an entity that engage in business activities from which they incur expenses and whose operating results are regularly reviewed by a chief operating decision maker to make resource allocation decisions and to assess performance. The Chief Executive Officer is responsible for allocating resources and reviewing operating results of each operating segment on a periodic basis.

The Company’s only operating segment is the operating and development of gold mining activities at the Kainantu Project in Papua New Guinea. The Corporate & Other segment includes the Company’s head office function in Canada.
