December 31, 2019 - (135,294) 0.00
March 31, 2020 - (53,380) 0.00

The differences in the losses between the various quarters are mainly due to the amount of activity by the Company in each quarter, primarily on mineral exploration, administration, legal, regulatory filing requirements, business promotion, and foreign exchange gains/losses.

Results of Operations

The Company incurred a loss of $53,380 for the period ended March 31, 2020, compared to a loss of $162,855 as at March 31, 2019. The decrease in loss was primarily due to a decrease of expenses, including consulting fees, mineral exploration costs, shareholder communications, share-based compensation and professional fees, as the Company evaluates its exploration plans going forward.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As at March 31, 2020, the Company had cash of $3,258 compared to $6,024 as at March 31, 2019. As at March 31, 2020, the Company had a working capital deficit of $721,852 compared to working capital deficit of $492,993 as at March 31, 2019.

The Company continually monitors overhead costs until such time as the Company can further access the global financial markets on the Company’s ability to raise additional capital.

Golden Pursuit Resources Ltd. Management’s Discussion and Analysis Period Ended March 31, 2020

As the Company is in the exploration stage, the recoverability of the costs incurred to date on exploration properties is dependent upon the existence of economically recoverable reserves, the ability of the Company to obtain the necessary financing to complete the exploration and development of its properties and upon future profitable production or proceeds from the disposition of the properties and deferred exploration expenditures. The Company has no longterm debt and has no immediate work program commitments. The Company will need to secure additional financing to fund its present activities and corporate overhead expenses.

Related Party Transactions

  • (a) As at March 31, 2020, the Company was owed $nil (2019 –$23,500) to a company controlled by the President and CEO of the Company which is unsecured, non-interest bearing, and due on demand.

  • (b) As at March 31, 2020, the Company owed $193,544 (2019 – $79,977) to the President and CEO of the Company which is unsecured, non-interest bearing, and due on demand.

  • (c) As at March 31, 2020, the Company owed $174,024 (2019 – $57,500) to a company owned by a daughter of the President and CEO of the Company which is unsecured, noninterest bearing, and due on demand.

  • (d) As at March 31, 2020, the Company owed $5,000 (2019 – $31,980) to a daughter of the President and CEO of the Company which is unsecured, non-interest bearing, and due on demand.

Financial Instruments

The carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments, consisting of cash, amounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and amounts due to related parties, approximate their fair values due to the short-term maturity of such instruments. Unless otherwise noted, it is management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from these financial instruments.

Further particulars of risks associated with financial instruments are disclosed in note 10 of the March 31, 2020 period ended statements.

Risk Factors

The Company’s financial success will be dependent upon the extent to which it can discover mineralization or acquire mineral properties and the economic viability of developing its properties.

The Company’s short to medium term operating and cash flow is all derived from external financing. Actual funding may vary from what is planned due to a number of factors including the progress of exploration and development on its current properties. Should changes in equity market conditions prevent the Company from obtaining additional external financing; the Company will need to review its exploration property holdings to prioritize project expenditures based on funding availability.

The Company competes with many companies that possess greater financial resources and technical facilities. The market price of minerals and/or metals is volatile and cannot be controlled. There is no assurance the Company’s mineral exploration and development activities will be successful. The development of mineral resources involves many risks, which may not be overcome even with a combination of experience, knowledge and careful evaluation.

Golden Pursuit Resources Ltd. Management’s Discussion and Analysis Period Ended March 31, 2020

The mining rights, title and development of mineral resources are subject to legal agreements including options, farm-outs and joint venture funding, as well as, comprehensive review, approval and permitting processes involving government agencies. There can be no assurance given the uncertainties inherent in the mining industry that required approvals and permits for a mining project, even if technically and economically warranted, can be obtained in a timely or cost effective manner.

Mining exploration is an inherently risky business with no guarantees that further exploration will result in an economically viable mine.

Mining operations are subject to various environmental laws and regulations including, for example, those relating to waste treatment, emissions and disposal, and companies must generally comply with permits or standards governing, among other things, tailing dams and waste disposal areas, water consumption, air emissions and water discharges. Existing and possible future environmental legislation, regulations and actions could cause significant expense, capital expenditures, restrictions and delays in the Company’s activities, the extent of which cannot be predicted and which may well be beyond the capacity of the Company to fund. The Company’s right to exploit any minerals it discovers is subject to various reporting requirements and to acquiring certain government approvals and there is no assurance that such approvals, including environmental approvals, will be granted without inordinate delays or at all.
