KLONDIKE SILVER CORP.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED NOVEMBER 30, 2020 AND 2019 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars)
1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN
Klondike Silver Corp. (the “Company”) was incorporated on March 2, 2005 under the laws of the Province of British Columbia, Canada. The Company is a public company listed on the TSX Venture Exchange (the “TSX.V”), trading under the “KS” symbol. The address of the Company’s corporate records office and principal place of business is Suite 804 – 750 West Pender Street, Vancouver, British Columbia V6C 2T7. The principal business of the Company is the exploration of mineral properties in Canada and it is considered to be an exploration company.
The Company incurred a net loss and comprehensive loss of $489,311 for the six months ended November 30, 2020 (November 30, 2019 - $602,722) and had a working capital (deficiency) at November 30 2020 of $1,244,735 (May 31, 2020 - $(705,373)) and a deficit of $28,240,166 (May 31, 2020 - $27,750,855). These statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which presumes the realization of assets and discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon achieving profitable operations and upon obtaining additional financing. While the Company is expending its best efforts in this regard, the outcome of these matters cannot be predicted at this time.
The Company is in the process of acquiring, exploring and developing its exploration and evaluation assets and has not yet determined whether the properties contain ore reserves that are economically recoverable. The recoverability of the amounts shown for exploration and evaluation assets and related deferred exploration costs are dependent upon the existence of economically recoverable reserves, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing to complete the development of those reserves and upon future profitable production. The operations of the Company have primarily been funded by the issuance of common shares and ancillary income. Continued operation of the Company is dependent on the Company's ability to complete equity financing or generate profitable operations in the future. Management's plan in this regard is to secure additional funds through future equity financings, which may not be available or may not be available on reasonable terms. These factors may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Accordingly, the financial statements do not give effect to adjustments that would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern and therefore be required to realize its assets and liquidate its liabilities, contingent obligations and commitments other than in the normal course of business and at amounts different from those in the financial statements.
Since December 31, 2019, the outbreak of the novel strain of corona virus, specifically identified as “COVID-19”, has resulted in a widespread health crisis that has affected economies and financial markets around the world resulting in an economic downturn. This outbreak may also cause staff shortages, reduced customer demand, increased government regulations or interventions, all of which may negatively impact the business, financial condition or results of operations of the Company. The duration and impact of the COVID-19 outbreak is unknown at this time and it is not possible to reliably estimate the length and severity of these developments on the operations of the business.
2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
a) Statement of Compliance
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”).

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED NOVEMBER 30, 2020 AND 2019 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars)
2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION (Continued)
a) Statement of Compliance (Continued)
Approval of the financial statements
These financial statements were reviewed by the Audit Committee and approved and authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on January 26, 2021.
b) Basis of Measurement and Presentation
These financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis except for financial instruments that have been measured at fair value. In addition, these financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting, except for cash flow information. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (including normal recurring accruals), considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.
- c) Foreign Currencies
The presentation currency of the Company and the functional currency of the Company is the Canadian dollar.
Transactions in currencies other than the functional currency are recorded at the rates of exchange prevailing on the dates of the transactions. At each financial position reporting date, monetary assets and liabilities that are denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rates prevailing at the date of the statement of financial position. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated.
d) Critical Accounting Judgments and Estimates
The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make judgments and estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual outcomes could differ from these judgments and estimates. The financial statements include judgments and estimates, which, by their nature, are uncertain. The impacts of such judgments and estimates are pervasive throughout the financial statements and may require accounting adjustments based on future occurrences. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate occurs and may affect both current and future periods.
Significant assumptions about the future and other sources of judgments and estimates that management has made at the statement of financial position date, that could result in a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities, relate to, but are not limited to, the following:
Critical Judgments
-
Management is required to assess indications of impairment on its exploration and evaluation assets in accordance with IFRS 6 as described in the Company’s significant accounting policies.
-
The Company assesses the possibility and amount of any impairment loss or write-down as it relates to mill and equipment.

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION (Continued)
d) Critical Accounting Judgments and Estimates (Continued)
Critical Judgments (Continued)
- Significant judgment is required in determining the provision for income taxes. There are many transactions and calculations undertaken during the ordinary course of business for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. The Company recognizes liabilities and contingencies for anticipated tax audit issues based on the Company’s current understanding of the tax law. For matters where it is probable that an adjustment will be made, the Company records its best estimate of the tax liability including the related interest and penalties in the current tax provision. Management believes they have adequately provided for the probable outcome of these matters; however, the final outcome may result in a materially different outcome than the amount included in the tax liabilities.
Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from management’s best estimates, as additional information becomes available. The most sensitive estimates affecting the financial statements were the identification and capitalization of exploration costs, the existence of contingent assets and liabilities, the valuation of share-based compensation and the valuation of deferred income tax assets.
Areas where estimates are significant to the financial statements were as follows:
-
the useful lives of mill and equipment which are included in the statements of financial position and the related amortization included in the statement of operations and comprehensive loss;
-
the inputs used in determining the net present value of the liability for decommissioning liabilities included in the statement of financial position;
-
the inputs used in accounting for stock based compensation expense in the statement of operations and comprehensive loss;
-
the determination of income taxes and the valuation of deferred income tax assets;
-
the amount of the constructive obligation; and
-
• the determination of the equity portion on the convertible debenture.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these financial statements.
a) Financial Instruments and Risk Management
The Company adopted all of the requirements of IFRS 9 Financial Instruments (“IFRS 9”) as of June 1, 2018. IFRS 9 replaces IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement (“IAS 39”). IFRS 9 utilizes a revised model for recognition and measurement of financial instruments and a single, forward-looking “expected loss” impairment model. Most of the requirements in IAS 39 for classification and measurement of financial liabilities were carried forward in IFRS 9, so the Company’s accounting policy with respect to financial liabilities is unchanged. As a result of the adoption of IFRS 9, management has changed its accounting policy for financial assets retrospectively, for assets that continued to be recognized at the date of initial application. The change did not impact the carrying value of any of the financial assets or financial liabilities on the transition date.
The new accounting policy for financial instruments under IFRS 9 was adopted on June 1, 2018:
i) Classification
The Company classifies its financial instruments in the following categories: at fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”), at fair value through other comprehensive income (loss) (“FVTOCI”) or at amortized cost. The Company determines the classification of financial assets at initial recognition. The classification of debt instruments is driven by the Company’s business model for managing financial assets and their contractual cash flow characteristics. Equity instruments that are held for trading are classified as FVTPL. For other equity instruments, on the day of acquisition the Company can make an irrevocable election (on an instrument-by-instrument basis) to designate them as at FVTOCI. Financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost, unless they are required to be measured at FVTPL or if the Company has opted to measure them at FVTPL. The Company completed a detailed assessment of its financial assets and liabilities as at June 1, 2018
The following table shows the original classification under IAS 39 and the new classification under IFRS 9:
| The following table shows the IFRS 9: |

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
- a) Financial Instruments and Risk Management (Continued)
ii) Measurement
Financial assets and liabilities at amortized cost
Financial assets and liabilities at amortized cost are initially recognized at fair value plus or minus transaction costs, respectively and subsequently carried at amortized cost less any impairment.
Financial assets and liabilities at FVTPL
Financial assets and liabilities carried at FVTPL are initially recorded at fair value and transaction costs are expensed in the statements of operations. Realized and unrealized gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of the financial assets and liabilities held at FVTPL are included in the statements of operations in the period in which they arise.
iii) Impairment of financial assets at amortized cost
The Company recognizes a loss allowance for expected credit losses on financial assets that are measured at amortized cost. At each reporting date, the Company measures the loss allowance for the financial asset at an amount equal to the lifetime expected credit losses if the credit risk on the financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition. If, at the reporting date, the financial asset has not increased significantly since initial recognition, the Company measures the loss allowance for the financial asset at an amount equal to the twelve month expected credit losses. The Company shall recognize in the statements of operations, as an impairment gain or loss, the amount of expected credit losses (or reversal) that is required to adjust the loss allowance at the reporting date to the amount that is required to be recognized.
iv) Derecognition of financial assets
The Company derecognizes financial assets only when the contractual rights to cash flows from the financial assets expire, or when it transfers the financial assets and substantially all of the associated risks and rewards of ownership to another entity. Gains and losses on derecognition are generally recognized in the statements of operations.
Financial instruments are exposed to credit, liquidity and market risks. Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will cause a financial loss for the other party by failing to discharge an obligation. Liquidity risk is the risk that an entity will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities. Market risk is that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risk comprises three types of price risk: currency risk, interest rate risk and other price risk.
Liquidity risk is significant to the Company’s statement of financial position. The Company manages these risks by actively pursuing additional share capital issuances to settle its obligations in the normal course of its operating, investing and financing activities. The Company’s ability to raise share capital is indirectly related to changing metal prices and the price of gold, silver, zinc and lead in particular. To mitigate this market risk, management of the Company actively pursues a diversification strategy with property holdings focusing on base metals as well as precious metals.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
b) Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of balances with banks, guaranteed investment certificates which are redeemable without penalty and investments in financial instruments with maturities within three months held for the purpose of meeting short-term cash commitments rather than for investing or other purposes. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with institutions of high-credit worthiness. As at November 30, 2020 and May 31, 2020, the Company only held cash.
c) Mill and Equipment
The mill comprises a used ore processing plant, used buildings and related equipment stated at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization on the mill and equipment is provided on the straight line method over their estimated useful lives ranging from three to twenty years.
- d) Exploration and Evaluation Assets
Exploration and evaluation expenditures include the costs of acquiring licenses, costs associated with exploration and evaluation activities and the fair value (at acquisition date) of exploration and evaluation assets acquired in a business combination. Exploration and evaluation expenditures are capitalized as incurred. Costs incurred before the Company has obtained the legal rights to explore an area are recognized in profit or loss. Ancillary income received while the properties are in the exploration stage is credited to the carrying value of the mineral properties. Cost recoveries are credited against specific property costs, as received.
Exploration and evaluation assets are assessed for impairment if (i) sufficient data exists to determine technical feasibility and commercial viability and (ii) facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount.
Facts and circumstances relating to impairment as defined in IFRS 6 exploration and evaluation assets are as follows:
-
the period for which the entity has the right to explore in the specific area has expired during the period or will expire in the near future and is not expected to be renewed;
-
substantive expenditure on further exploration for and evaluation of mineral resources in the specific area is neither budgeted nor planned;
-
exploration for and evaluation of mineral resources in the specific area have not led to the discovery of commercially viable quantities of mineral resources and the entity has decided to discontinue such activities in the specific area;
-
sufficient data exist to indicate that although a development in the specific area is likely to proceed, the carrying amount of the exploration and evaluation asset is unlikely to be recovered in full from successful development or by sale.
In making the assessment, management is required to make judgments on the status of each project and the future plans towards finding commercial reserves. The nature of exploration and evaluation activity is such that only a proportion of projects are ultimately successful and some assets are likely to become impaired in future periods.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
d) Exploration and Evaluation Assets (Continued)
Once the technical feasibility and commercial viability of the extraction of mineral resources in an area of interest are demonstrable, which management has determined to be indicated by a feasibility study, exploration and evaluation assets attributable to that area of interest are first tested for impairment and then reclassified to mining property and development assets.
Recoverability of the carrying amount of any exploration and evaluation assets is dependent on successful development and commercial exploitation, or alternatively, sale of the respective areas of interest.
It is management’s judgment that none of the Company’s exploration and evaluation assets have reached the development stage and as a result are all considered to be exploration and evaluation assets.
Although the Company has taken steps to verify title to exploration and evaluation assets in which it has an interest, in accordance with industry standards for the current stage of exploration of such properties, these procedures do not guarantee the Company’s title. Property may be subject to unregistered prior agreements and non-compliance with regulatory requirements.
e) Impairment of Non-financial Assets
Impairment tests on intangible assets with indefinite useful economic lives are undertaken annually at the financial year-end. Other non-financials assets, including the mill, equipment and exploration and evaluation assets are subject to impairment tests whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. Where the carrying value of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the higher of value in use and fair value less costs to sell, the assets is written down accordingly.
Where it is possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the impairment test is carried out on the asset’s cash-generating unit, which is the lowest group of assets in which the asset belongs for which there are separately identifiable cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets. The Company has one cash-generating unit for which impairment testing is performed.
An impairment loss is recognized in the statement of operations, except to the extent they reverse gains previously recognized in other comprehensive income or loss.
f) Decommissioning Liabilities
The Company is subject to various government laws and regulations relating to environmental disturbances caused by exploration and evaluation activities. The Company records the present value of the estimated costs of legal and constructive obligations required to restore the exploration sites in the period in which the obligation is incurred. The nature of the rehabilitation activities includes restoration, reclamation and re-vegetation of the affected exploration sites.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED NOVEMBER 30, 2020 AND 2019 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars)
3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
f) Decommissioning Liabilities (Continued)
The rehabilitation provision generally arises when the environmental disturbance is subject to government laws and regulations. When the liability is recognized, the present value of the estimated costs is capitalized by increasing the carrying amount of the related mining assets. Over time, the discounted liability is increased for the changes in present value based on current market discount rates and liability specific risks.
Additional environmental disturbances or changes in rehabilitation costs will be recognized as additions to the corresponding assets and rehabilitation liability in the period in which they occur.
g) Provisions
Provisions are recognized where a legal or constructive obligation has been incurred as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation can be made. If material, provisions are measured at the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation. The increase in any provision due to the passage of time is recognized as accretion expense.
h) Share Capital
i) Non-monetary consideration
Agent’s warrants issued as purchase consideration in non-monetary transactions are recorded at fair value determined by management using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The fair value of the shares issued as consideration for exploration and evaluation assets is based on the trading price of those shares on the TSX.V on the date of the agreement to issue shares as determined by the Board of Directors. Proceeds from unit placements are allocated between shares and warrants issued using the residual method.
ii) Flow-through shares
The Company will from time to time, issue flow-through common shares to finance a significant portion of its exploration program. Pursuant to the terms of the flow-through share agreements, these shares transfer the tax deductibility of qualifying resource expenditures to investors. On issuance, the Company bifurcates the flow-through share into: i) a flow-through share premium, equal to the estimated premium, if any, investors pay for the flow-through feature, which is recognized as a liability and ii) share capital. Upon expenses being incurred, the Company derecognizes the liability and recognizes a deferred tax liability for the amount of tax reduction renounced to the shareholders. The premium is recognized as other income and the related deferred tax is recognized as a tax provision.
The Company may also be subject to a Part XII.6 tax on flow-through proceeds, renounced under the Look-Back Rule, in accordance with Government of Canada flow-through regulations. When applicable, this tax is accrued as a financial expense until paid.

- h) Share Capital (Continued)
iii) Share-based payments
The share option plan allows Company employees 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 fair value is measured at grant date and each tranche is recognized over the period during which the options vest. The fair value of the options granted is measured using the Black-Scholes option pricing model taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the options were granted. At each financial position reporting date, the amount recognized as an expense is adjusted to reflect the actual number of share options that are expected to vest.
In situations where equity instruments are issued to non-employees and some or all of the goods or services received by the entity as consideration cannot be specifically identified, they are measured at the fair value of the share-based payment. Otherwise, share-based payments are measured at the fair value of goods or services received.
iv) Share issuance costs
Costs directly identifiable with the raising of share capital financing are charged against share capital. Share issuance costs incurred in advance of share subscriptions are recorded as non-current deferred assets. Share issuance costs related to uncompleted share subscriptions are charged to operations.
i)
Loss Per Share
Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing the loss for the period by the weighted average number of common shares issued and outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share is calculated using the treasury stock method. Under the treasury stock method, the weighted average number of common shares outstanding used for the calculation of diluted loss per share assumes that the proceeds to be received on the exercise of dilutive stock options and warrants are used to repurchase common shares at the average market price during the period. Basic and diluted loss per share is equal as outstanding stock options and warrants were all anti-dilutive.
j) Income Taxes
Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Current tax and deferred tax are recognized in net income except to the extent that they relate to a business combination or items recognized directly in equity or in other comprehensive income or loss.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
j) Income Taxes (Continued)
Current income taxes are recognized for the estimated income taxes payable or receivable on taxable income or loss for the current year and any adjustment to income taxes payable in respect of previous years. Current income taxes are determined using tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the year-end date.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized where the carrying amount of an asset or liability differs from its tax base, except for taxable temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of goodwill and temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction which is not a business combination and at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss.
Recognition of deferred tax assets for unused tax losses, tax credits and deductible temporary differences is restricted to those instances where it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the deferred tax asset can be utilized. At the end of each reporting period the Company reassesses unrecognized deferred tax assets. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are offset when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority.
k) Convertible Debenture
The Company classifies convertible debentures into debt and equity components based on the residual method. The liability component is calculated at the present value of the principal and interest, discounted at the estimated interest rate applicable to the non-convertible debenture at the time the debenture was issued. This portion of the convertible debenture is accreted over its term to the full principle value using the effective interest rate method. The equity element of the convertible debenture comprises the value of the conversion option, being the difference between the face value of the convertible debt and the liability component. Upon maturity, the equity component is reclassified to reserves.
l) Recently adopted accounting pronouncements
New standard IFRS 9 , Financial Instruments – Classification and Measurement IFRS 9 is the first step in the process to replace IAS 39, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. IFRS 9 introduces new requirements for classifying and measuring financial assets and liabilities and carries over from the requirements of IAS 39.
4. NEWLY ADOPTED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
IFRS 16 Leases
Effective for annual periods beginning on January 1, 2019
IFRS 16 is a new standard that sets out the principles for recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases including guidance for both parties of a contract, the lessee and the lessor. The new standard eliminates the classification of leases as either operating or finance leases as is required by IAS 17 and instead introduces a single lessee accounting model. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

The components of this obligation are the removal of equipment currently used at the property as well as costs associated with the reclamation of the camp and work sites on the property. It is the Company’s intention to continue exploration work on the property until at least the current mineral claim expiry, for which the key ground is currently July 18, 2026 without extension. The estimate of future asset retirement obligations is subject to change based on amendments to applicable laws, management’s intentions and mineral claim renewals.
The Company may be contingently liable for other decommissioning liabilities. However, such obligations are not recognized since the fair value cannot be reasonably estimated due to the uncertainty of the extent of reclamation and remediation work and the settlement dates.

The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern in order to pursue the development of its exploration and evaluation assets and to maintain a flexible capital structure which optimizes the costs of capital at an acceptable risk. The Board of Directors does not establish a quantitative return on capital criteria for management, but rather relies on the expertise of the Company’s management team to sustain the future development of the business.
The Company manages the capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may attempt to issue new shares, issue debt, acquire or dispose of assets or adjust the amount of cash and cash equivalents.
In order to facilitate the management of its capital requirements, the Company prepares expenditure budgets that are updated as necessary depending on various factors, including successful capital deployment and general industry conditions. In order to maximize exploration efforts, the Company does not pay out dividends. The Company’s investment policy is to keep its cash treasury on deposit in an interest bearing Canadian chartered bank account.
There were no changes in the Company’s approach to capital management during the periods ended November 30, 2020 and 2019. The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements.

(a) Fair value approximates the carrying amounts due to the short-term nature.
The carrying values of the Company’s financial liabilities were a reasonable approximation of fair value.
The Company is exposed to potential loss from various risks including commodity price risk, interest rate risk, currency risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. Based on the Company’s operations the liquidity risk and commodity price risk are considered the most significant.
a) Commodity Price Risk
The Company’s ability to raise capital to fund exploration or development activities is subject to risk associated with fluctuations in the market prices of base and precious metals including gold, silver, zinc and lead and the outlook for these metals. The Company does not have any hedging or other derivative contracts respecting its operations.
Market prices for metals historically have fluctuated widely and are affected by numerous factors outside of the Company’s control, including, but not limited to, levels of worldwide production, short-term changes in supply and demand, industrial and retail demand, central bank lending and forward sales by producers and speculators. The Company has elected not to actively manage its commodity price risk, as the nature of Company’s business is in exploration.

17. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT (Continued)
b) Liquidity Risk
The liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they come due. The Company manages its liquidity risk through careful management of its financial obligations in relation to its cash position. Using budgeting processes, the Company manages its liquidity requirements based on expected cash flow to ensure there are adequate funds to meet the short term obligations during the period.
In the past the Company has been able to maintain its liquidity position through private placements. However, the variable market conditions make it uncertain whether the Company can continue to raise adequate funds to meet its financial obligations.
18. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Subsequent to the period end, 5,660,000 warrants were exercised for gross proceeds of $291,700 and 3,600,000 options were exercised for gross proceeds of $187,000. There were partial conversions of the convertible debenture resulting in issue of 14,000,000 shares with 14,000,000 warrants exercisable at $0.05 to December 31, 2024 and reduction in the debenture payable of $700,000.
