LEVIATHAN GOLD LTD. NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited – Prepared by Management) (Expressed in Canadian Dollars) FOR THE PERIOF ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2021
1 NATURE AND CONTINUANCE OF OPERATIONS
Leviathan Gold Ltd., (the “Company”) was incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) (“BCBCA”) on June 24, 2020. The Company is principally engaged in the acquisition and exploration of resource properties in Victoria, Australia. The Company was incorporated as the target company for certain assets and liabilities that were spun out from Fosterville South Exploration Ltd. (“Fosterville”). During the year ended June 30, 2021, the Company was spun out from Fosterville and the projects were acquired (refer to note 4 for a description of the transaction). The Company’s shares are publicly traded on TSX Venture Exchange (“TSXV”) under the symbol LVX.
The address of its head office is located at Suite 488-1090 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada V6E 3V7. The Company’s registered and records office is 2900-550 Burrard Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, V6C 0A3.
In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared coronavirus COVID-19 a global pandemic. This contagious disease outbreak, which has continued to spread, and any related adverse public health developments, has adversely affected workforces, economies, and financial markets globally, potentially leading to an economic downturn. It is not possible for the Company to predict the duration or magnitude of the adverse results of the outbreak and its effects on the Company’s ability to raise funds or complete the Transactions.
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) with the assumption that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.
The Company’s continuing operations, as intended, are dependent upon its ability to identify, evaluate and negotiate an acquisition of or participation in an interest in properties, assets, or businesses. The Company has incurred losses from inception and does not currently have the financial resources to sustain operations in the long-term. While the Company has been successful in obtaining its required funding in the past, there is no assurance that such future financing will be available or be available on favourable terms. An inability to raise additional financing may impact the future assessment of the Company as a going concern. These material uncertainties may cast significant doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern.
2 BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Statement of compliance
These condensed consolidated interim 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 consolidated interim financial statements are compliant with IAS 34 and do not include all of the information required for full annual financial statements.
Basis of presentation
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for certain financial instruments that are measured at revalued amounts or fair values, as explained in the accounting policies below. In addition, the consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting, except for cash flow disclosure.
These consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, which is also the Company’s functional currency.

2 BASIS OF PRESENTATION (cont’d…)
Consolidation
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its wholly owned and controlled subsidiaries, Leviathan Gold (Australia) PTY Ltd. (“Leviathan Australia”), incorporated in Australia on June 29, 2020, and 1274996 B.C Ltd, incorporated in British Columbia, Canada.
Leviathan and 1274996 B.C Ltd have a functional currency of Canadian Dollar (CAD) and Leviathan Australia has a functional currency of Australian Dollar (AUD).
Control is achieved when the Company has the power to, directly or indirectly, govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is obtained and continue to be consolidated until the date that such control ceases. Intercompany balances, transactions and unrealized intercompany gains and losses are eliminated upon consolidation.
3 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Company’s accounting policies are the same as those applied in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2021. These condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2021.
Significant judgements, estimates and assumptions
The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make judgment, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgments about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual outcomes could differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and further periods if the review affects both current and future periods.
The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make judgements regarding the going concern of the Company, as disclosed in Note 1.
4 SPIN-OUT OF LEVIATHAN GOLD LTD AND AMALGAMATION WITH LEVIATHAN GOLD FINANCE LTD
On October 1, 2020, the Company entered into an Arrangement Agreement (the “Arrangement Agreement”) with Fosterville and Leviathan Gold Finance Ltd (“FinCo”). Under the terms of the Arrangement Agreement, Fosterville, pursuant to a Plan of Arrangement, spun-out the Company on November 23, 2020 and Fosterville completed a share split of the Company’s shares and distributed 67,907,831 Company shares to the Fosterville shareholders (the “SpinOut”).

4 SPIN-OUT OF LEVIATHAN GOLD LTD AND AMALGAMATION WITH LEVIATHAN GOLD FINANCE LTD (cont’d…)
Following completion of the Spin-Out, FinCo completed the following financings (the “Financings”):
-
Raised $30,000, at a price of $0.005 pursuant to the issuance of 6,000,000 common shares to the new management and board of FinCo, which was advanced to the Company for working capital: and
-
Raised $12,908,000, at a price of $0.50 pursuant to the issuance of 25,816,000 subscription receipts, of which $12,061,705 was held in escrow pending the successful completion of the amalgamation, $550,892 was paid to towards agents’ commissions, expenses, and other share issuance costs and $295,403 was released and advanced to the Company for working capital. The Company issued 1,547,000 broker warrants in connection with the financing. Each broker warrant entitles the holder to acquire one common share of the Company for a period of 24 months from closing.
Following completion of the Financings, Leviathan Australia entered into an agreement to acquire certain exploration properties, known as the Avoca and Timor Projects and certain other tenements, from Fosterville’s wholly owned subsidiary, Currawong Resources Pty Ltd. (“Currawong”). The Company paid AUD$764,081 and assumed the underlying royalty obligations (Note 7).
Prior to the completion of acquisition of exploration properties from Currawong, the Company caused 1274996 B.C Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, to amalgamate with FinCo (the “Amalgamation”), with the Company issuing 31,816,000 shares of the Company to the former securityholders of FinCo in connection with such amalgamation.
The fair value of the FinCo net assets on the date of amalgamation, substantially all of which consisted of cash, was $12,390,739. FinCo is not considered to be a business and accordingly, the FinCo acquisition is accounted for as a financing transaction. The shares issued in connection with the acquisition of FinCo were valued on the basis of the fair value of the net assets received, as presented below:
| Cash | $ | 12,065,336 |

10 FINANCIAL AND CAPITAL 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 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
The carrying value of receivables and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximates fair value due to the short- term nature of the financial instruments. Cash is valued at a level 1 fair value measurement and is classified as fair value through profit or loss. Receivables are classified at amortized cost. Accounts payable and accrued liabilities are classified as amortized cost.
LEVIATHAN GOLD LTD. NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE PERIOF ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2021 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars)
10 FINANCIAL AND CAPITAL RISK MANAGEMENT (cont’d…)
Risk management
The Company is exposed to varying degrees to a variety of financial instrument related risks:
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of an unexpected loss if a customer or third party to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations.
The Company’s cash is held at a large Canadian financial institution in interest bearing accounts. The Company has no investment in asset backed commercial paper.
The Company’s receivables consist of goods and services tax receivable from the government of Canada.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due.
The Company manages liquidity risk through its capital management as outlined below. Accounts payable and accrued liabilities and loans payable are due within one year.
Market risk
Market risk is the risk of loss that may arise from changes in market factors such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and commodity and equity prices.
a) Interest rate risk
The Company’s exposure to interest rate risk arises from the interest rate impact on cash. The Company’s practice has been to invest cash at floating rates of interest, in order to maintain liquidity, while achieving a satisfactory return for shareholders. There is minimal risk that the Company would recognize any loss as a result of a decrease in the fair value of any guaranteed bank investment certificates included in cash as they are generally held with large financial institutions. As at September 30, 2021, the Company is not exposed to significant interest rate risk.
b) Foreign currency risk
The majority of purchases are transacted in the Canadian dollar. Management believes the foreign exchange risk derived from currency conversions is not significant and therefore does not hedge its foreign exchange risk.
c) Price risk
The Company is exposed to price risk with respect to commodity prices. The Company closely monitors commodity prices to determine the appropriate course of action to be taken by the Company

10 FINANCIAL AND CAPITAL RISK MANAGEMENT (cont’d…)
Capital management.
The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern in order to pursue acquisition, exploration and evaluation of mineral properties and to maintain a flexible capital structure which optimizes the costs of capital at an acceptable risk. In the management of capital, the Company includes its components of shareholders’ equity (deficiency).
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.
The Company currently is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements. There were no changes in the Company’s approach to capital management.
