LEOCOR GOLD INC. (formerly Leocor Ventures Inc.) NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the three months ended January 31, 2022 and 2021 Expressed in Canadian Dollars
1. NATURE AND CONTINUANCE OF OPERATIONS
Leocor Gold Inc. (formerly Leocor Ventures Inc.) (the “Company”) was incorporated under the British Columbia Business Corporations Act on July 26, 2018. The Company’s registered and records office is located on the 10[th] Floor, 595 Howe Street, Vancouver BC.
During the year ended October 31, 2019 the Company completed the Initial Public Offering (“IPO”) and its shares were listed on the Canadian Securities Exchange on June 18, 2019 and commenced trading on June 21, 2019 under the symbol “LECR”. The Company is in the exploration stage and its principal business activity is the search for, and exploration of mineral properties. On July 28, 2020, the Company changed its name to Leocor Gold Inc.
These financial statements have been prepared on the basis of accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which assumes that the Company will be able to continue in operation for the foreseeable future, and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. As at January 31, 2022 the Company has not generated revenue or cash flow from operations to adequately fund its activities and has therefore relied upon external financing for its operational expenses. These factors form a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt upon the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Company plans to continue relying upon external financing to finance its future activities but there can be no assurance that such financing will be available on a timely basis and/or on terms acceptable to the Company.
In early March 2020, there was a global outbreak of coronavirus (COVID-19). The actual and threatened spread of the virus globally has had a material adverse effect on the global economy and, specifically, the regional economies in which the Company operates. The pandemic could continue to have a negative impact on the stock market, including trading prices of the Company’s shares and its ability to raise new capital. The Company’s exploration activities in Canada have not been significantly affected by the pandemic to date. If the Company becomes unable to conduct future exploration activities over the long-term in the future, this may result in a potential material impairment of exploration and evaluation assets. The Company continues to monitor and assess the impact of COVID-19 on its business activities. Currently the potential impact is uncertain, and it is difficult to reliably measure the extent of the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on future financial results.
The business of mining and exploration for minerals involves a high degree of risk and there can be no assurance that current exploration programs will result in profitable mining operations. The recoverability of amounts shown for exploration and evaluation assets is dependent on several factors. These include the discovery of economically recoverable reserves, the ability of the Company to obtain the necessary financing to complete the development of these properties, and future profitable production or proceeds from disposition of exploration and evaluation assets.
These factors, among others, could have a significant impact on the Company’s operations.

LEOCOR GOLD INC. (formerly Leocor Ventures Inc.) NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the three months ended January 31, 2022 and 2021 Expressed in Canadian Dollars
1. NATURE AND CONTINUANCE OF OPERATIONS (continued)
The carrying value of the Company's exploration and evaluation assets do not reflect current or future values. The Company has not yet determined whether its exploration and evaluation assets contain economically recoverable ore reserves. The recovery of the amounts comprising exploration and evaluation assets are dependent upon the confirmation of economically recoverable reserves, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing to successfully complete the exploration and development of those reserves and upon future profitable production or, alternatively, upon the Company's ability to dispose of its interest on an advantageous basis.
These financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result from the inability to secure future financing, such a situation would have a material adverse effect on the Company's recoverability of assets, classification of assets and liabilities, and results of operations and the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
2. BASIS OF PREPARATION
(a) Statement of compliance
The condensed interim financial statements for the three months ended January 31, 2022 have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standards (“IAS”) 34 – Interim Financial Reporting under International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"). Significant accounting policies are described in the Note 2 of the audited financial statements for the year ended October 31, 2021. Significant accounting estimates, judgments and assumptions used or exercised by management in the preparation of these financial statements are presented below.
(b) Basis of presentation
These financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for the revaluation of certain financial assets, financial liabilities and investments to fair value. In addition, these financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting, except for cash flow information. The condensed interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting.
The presentation and functional currency of the Company is the Canadian dollar.
(c) Principles of consolidation
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Hare Bay (British Columbia). All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION (continued)
(d) Significant accounting judgements and estimates
The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
These financial statements include estimates which, by their nature, are uncertain. The impacts of such 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 is revised and may affect both the period of the revision and future periods. These estimates are based on historical experience, current and future economic conditions and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
Significant assumptions about the future and other sources of estimation uncertainty that management has made at the reporting date that could result in a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities, in the event that actual results differ from estimates made, relate to determination of fair value of financial instruments (see Note 2 in the audited financial statements for the period ended October 31, 2021).
In preparing the financial statements, management makes judgments regarding the application of IFRS for the Company’s accounting policies. Significant judgments relate to the following areas:
(i) Going concern assumption
Determining if the Company has the ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on its ability to achieve profitable operations. Certain judgments are made when determining if the Company will achieve profitable operation.
(ii) Income taxes
Judgements are made by management at the end of the reporting period to determine the likelihood that deferred income tax assets will be realized from future taxable earnings. Assessing the recoverability of deferred income tax assets requires the Company to make judgments related to the expectations of future cash flows from operations and the application of existing tax laws.
While management believes judgements and the estimates are reasonable, actual results could differ from those judgements and estimates and could impact future results of operations and cash flows.

3. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and accounts payable.
Fair values
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 and in accordance with the fair value hierarchy has the following levels:
Level 1 - quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets and 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); and
Level 3 - inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs). The fair value of cash is determined using level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. The carrying values of accounts payable approximate their fair values due to the expected maturity of these financial instruments.
Financial instrument risk exposure and risk management
The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Company's risk management.
The Company is exposed in varying degrees to a variety of financial instrument related risks. The Board approves and monitors the risk management process.
(a) Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of a financial loss to the Company if a counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligation. The Company's exposure to credit risk includes cash. The Company manages credit risk, in respect of cash, by placing its cash with a major Canadian financial institution in accordance with the Company's investment policy.
Concentration of credit risk exists with respect to the Company's cash as all amounts are held at a single major Canadian financial institution. The Company's concentration of credit risk and maximum exposure thereto is considered minimal.
The maximum exposure to credit risk is equal to the fair value or carrying value of the financial assets.

3. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT (continued)
Financial instrument risk exposure and risk management (continued)
(b) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in obtaining funds to meet its commitments. The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on management's ability to raise required funding from third parties. 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 Company is exposed to liquidity risk.
- (c) Market risk
Market risk is the risk 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 risk: interest rate risk, foreign currency risk and commodity price risk.
-
i. Interest rate risk
-
Some of the Company’s accounts payable are subject to interest on unpaid balances.
-
ii. Commodity price risk
Commodity price risk is the risk that the fair or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices, other than those arising from interest rate risk or foreign currency risk. The Company actively monitors commodity price changes and stock market prices to determine the appropriate course of action to be taken by the Company.

4. ASSET ACQUISITION
Acquisition of Hare Bay
On December 19, 2020, the Company entered into a share exchange agreement to acquire 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Hare Bay. The exchange ratio was completed on a oneto-one basis by which Hare Bay shareholders received one common share of the Company for every Hare Bay share. On December 29, 2020, the Company issued 4,750,001 common shares in connection with the share exchange agreement (Note 7).
Hare Bay is an arm’s length company solely focusing on acquisition and exploration of mineral property.
Concurrently, the Company entered into an assignment agreement, whereby Hare Bay assigned to the Company its obligation and privileges under the option agreement dated on October 5, 2020 between Hare Bay and White Metal Resources Corp. (“WHM”) to earn an initial 70% ownership interest in the property commonly known as the Star Trek Property (Note 5).
The acquisition of Hare Bay was not considered a business as defined in IFRS 3. As a result, the acquisition has been accounted as an asset acquisition.

9. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
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, and exploration of its mineral properties. 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 properties in which the Company currently has an interest are in the exploration stage; as such the Company is dependent on external financing to fund its activities. In order to carry out the planned exploration and pay for administrative costs, the Company will spend its existing working capital and raise additional amounts 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.
There were no changes in the Company's approach to capital management during the period ended January 31, 2022. The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements.
10. COMMITMENTS
The Company is committed to certain cash payments, common share issuances and exploration expenditures as described in Note 5.
