GOLD RUSH CARIBOO CORP. Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements For the Six Months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 (Unaudited and expressed in Canadian dollars)
1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN
Gold Rush Cariboo Corp. (formerly Cava Resources Inc.) (“Company”) is principally engaged in the acquisition, exploration of mineral properties in North America. The Company is in the process of exploring its resource properties and has not yet determined whether these properties contain enough mineral deposits, such that their recovery would be economically viable. The Company trades on the TMX Venture Exchange under the symbol GDBO. The address of the Company's corporate office and principal place of business is 393 University Ave., Ste 1810, Toronto, Ontario, Canada M5G 1E6.
The Company has taken steps to verify title to the properties on which it is conducting exploration and in which it has an interest, in accordance with industry standards for the current stage of exploration of such properties; however, these procedures do not guarantee the Company's title. Property title may be subject to unregistered prior agreements and non-compliance with regulatory requirements.
On June 19, 2018, under Articles of Amendment, the Company changed its name to Gold Rush Cariboo Corp.
Going Concern
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplate that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The business of mining and exploring for minerals involves a high degree of risk and there can be no assurance that current exploration programs will result in profitable mining operations and the Company has incurred significant losses to date resulting in a cumulative deficit of $15,849,272 as at December 31, 2020 (June 30, 2020 - $15,691,475). The recoverability of the carrying value of exploration properties and the Company’s continued existence is dependent upon the preservation of its interest in the underlying properties, the discovery of economically recoverable reserves, the achievement of profitable operations, or the ability of the Company to raise alternative financing, if necessary, or alternatively upon the Company’s ability to dispose of its interests on an advantageous basis. Changes in future conditions could require material write-downs of the carrying values.
The Company is subject to risks and challenges similar to companies in a comparable stage of exploration and development. As a result of these risks, there is significant doubt as to the appropriateness of the going concern assumption. There is no assurance that the Company's funding initiatives will continue to be successful and these condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not reflect the adjustments to the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the reported expenses and statements of financial position classifications that would be necessary if the going concern assumption was inappropriate. These adjustments could be material. The Company will have to raise additional funds to advance its exploration and development efforts and, while it has been successful in doing so in the past, there can be no assurance that it will be able to do so in the future. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had current assets of $54,373 (June 30, 2020 - $40,484) to cover current liabilities of $3,289,841 (June 30, 2020 - $3,117,001). The Company has no proven history of performance, earnings or success. These conditions raise material uncertainties which cast significant doubt as to whether the Company will be able to continue as a going concern over the next 12 months should it not be able to obtain the necessary financing to fund exploration programs and working capital requirements.
2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
(a) Statement of Compliance
These interim condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 “Interim Financial Reporting” under International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. The condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the period ended December 31, 2020 were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on February 22, 2021.

GOLD RUSH CARIBOO CORP. Notes to the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements For the Six Months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 (Expressed in Canadian dollars)
2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION (continued)
These interim condensed financial statements follow the same accounting policies and method of computation as the Company’s annual audited financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2020
with the exception of certain disclosures that are normally required to be included in annual financial statements which have been condensed or omitted. These interim condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual audited financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2020.
(b) Basis of Measurement
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost basis, except for certain financial instruments which are measured at fair value. The methods used to measure fair value are consistent with the Company’s June 30, 2020 audited consolidated financial statements.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgment estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. By their nature, estimates are subject to measurement uncertainty and changes in such estimates in future periods could require a material change in the financial statements. Accordingly, actual results may differ from these estimates. The COVID19 outbreak presents additional uncertainty and risk with respect to the Company, its performance, and estimates and assumptions used by management in the preparation of its financial results.
Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future years affected. Estimates and judgements made by management in the preparation of these interim condensed financial statements are subject to a higher degree of measurement uncertainty during this volatile period.
These interim condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars (“CAD”).

13. CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE
On September 4, 2017, Gold Rush Cariboo Inc. issued a Convertible Promissory Note (“Note”) in connection with the acquisition of the Horseshoe Bend Project mining rights (Note 10). The Note bears interest at the rate of 2% per annum calculated semi-annually and is convertible at $0.40. The principal amount of this Note shall be payable as follows: (i) an amount of $25,000 on March 15 of each year; (ii) a minimum amount of: (A) $150,000 or (B) 50% of the Net Profits earned during the previous twelve months; (iii) the balance of the Principal together with all accrued interest shall become due and payable on September 2, 2024. The Note has been bifurcated into its debt and equity components. The fair value of the debt portion in the amount of $1,265,300 was estimated using a discounted cash flow model method based on an expected life of seven years, timing of expected principal payments, and a discount rate of 15%. The residual of $984,700, was allocated to equity. Accretion related to the debt for the period ended December 31, 2020 was $Nil (June 30, 2020 - $183,568). Interest on convertible debt for the period ended December 31, 2020 was $22,798 (June 30, 2020 – $4,997). The $75,000 principal payment due March 15, 2018, March 15, 2019 and March 15, 2020 and the $300,000 principal payment due November 1, 2018 and November 1, 2019 have been delayed pending the resolution of certain other matters related to the acquisition and consequently the Convertible Promissory Note is in default and is due on demand.
The movement in the debt portion of the Notes during the period comprised the following:

15.FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
- a. Fair value of financial instruments
Financial instruments recorded at fair value on the statement of financial position are classified using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. The fair value hierarchy has the following levels:
-
Level 1 – valuation based on quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
-
Level 2 – valuation techniques based on 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 – valuation techniques using inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
The Company’s cash, prepaid expenses and deposits, accounts payables and accrued liabilities, loans payable and convertible promissory note payable are considered Level 1 in the hierarchy and are classified for accounting purposes as loans and receivables, which are measured at amortized cost which approximates fair value. Accounts payable and accrued liabilities, due to consultants, due to directors and officers and promissory note payables are classified for accounting purposes as other financial liabilities, which are measured at amortized
cost which also approximates fair value. Fair value of accounts payable and accrued liabilities, due to consultants and due to officers and directors are determined from transaction values which were derived from observable market inputs and fair values are based on level 2 measurements.
The Company has determined the fair value of its financial instruments as follows:
-
(i) The carrying values of cash, prepaid expenses and deposits, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, due to consultants and due to officers and directors approximate their fair values due to the shortterm nature of these instruments. The fair value of the convertible promissory note approximates $2,250,000.
-
(ii) Other financial assets are carried at amounts based on relevant stock market information.
These fair value estimates are subject to and involve uncertainties and significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.
- b. Risk Exposure
The Company may be exposed to risks of varying degrees of significance, which could affect its ability to achieve its strategic objectives. The main objective of the Company’s risk management processes is to ensure that the risks are properly identified and that the capital base is adequate in relation to those risks. The risks the Company is exposed to are described below:
- Capital risk
The Company manages its capital with the objective of providing adequate capital resources for the Company. The capital structure of the Company consists of shareholders’ equity and depends on the ability of the Company to raise capital.
- Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk that a client or vendor will be unable to pay or receive any amounts owed or owing by the Company. Management’s assessment of the Company’s credit risk is low as it is primarily attributable to funds held in Canadian banks.

15. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued)
- Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company is not able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain adequate financing in the future. The Company may seek additional financing through debt or equity offerings, but there can be no assurance that such financing will be available on terms that are acceptable to the Company or at all. Any equity offering will result in dilution to the ownership interests of the Company’s shareholders and may result in dilution to the value of such interests.
- Market risk
Market risk incorporates a range of risks. Movements in risk factors, such as interest rate risk, currency risk, market price risk, and commodity price risk, affect the fair value of financial assets and liabilities.
- Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company’s interest rate risk is minimal as there are no outstanding loans or interest-bearing debt. The Company’s current policy is to deposit excess cash in non-interest-bearing accounts at its Canadian banking institutions.
- Currency risk
Currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company’s functional currency is the Canadian dollar as the majority of its transactions and operations are in Canada. Management believes the foreign exchange risk derived from currency conversions is negligible and therefore does not hedge its foreign exchange risk.
- Market price risk
The prices of metals and minerals fluctuate widely and are affected by many factors outside of the Company’s control. The prices of metals and minerals and future expectation of such prices have a significant impact on the market sentiment for investment in mining and mineral exploration companies. This in turn may impact the Company’s ability to raise equity financing for its longterm working capital requirements.
Company's exploration and evaluation assets are related to the price of gold and other mineral commodities, and the outlook for this mineral. Adverse changes in the price of gold can also significantly impair the economic viability of the Company’s projects, along with the ability to obtain future financing.
- c. Sensitivity analysis
Based on management’s knowledge and experience of the financial markets, the Company believes that movements at ± 10% are “reasonably possible” over a one-year period:
-
(i) The Company does not hold significant balances in foreign currencies to give rise to significant exposure to foreign exchange risk.
-
(ii) Price risk is remote since the Company is a non-producing entity.
The Company’s other financial assets are subject to fair value fluctuations.

16. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
In the management of capital, the Company includes capital stock, warrant reserve, share-based payment reserve, deficit, other accumulated comprehensive income, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, due to officers and directors and due to consultants.
The Company's objectives when managing capital are:
-
a. To safeguard the Company's financial capacity and liquidity for future earning in order to continue to provide an appropriate return to shareholders and other stakeholders.
-
b. To maintain a flexible capital structure which optimizes the cost of capital at an acceptable risk;
-
c. To enable the Company to maximize growth by meeting its capital expenditure budget, to expand its budget to accelerate projects, and to take advantage of acquisition opportunities.
The Company regularly monitors and reviews the amount of capital in proportion to risk and future development and exploration opportunities.
The Company manages the capital structure and makes adjustments to it in the light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may issue new debt, equity or similar instruments to reduce debt levels, adjust the number of dividends paid to shareholders, or make adjustments to its capital expenditure program.
There were no changes in the Company’s approach to capital management during the period ended December 31, 2020 and capital management is consistent with the year ended June 30, 2020. The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements.

19. COVID 19
In March 2020, the COVID-19 outbreak was declared a global pandemic by the World Health Organization. The situation is dynamic and the ultimate duration and magnitude of the impact on the economy, capital markets and the Company's financial position cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. The Company is monitoring developments and will adapt its business plans accordingly. The actual and threatened spread of COVID-19 globally could adversely impact the Company's ability to carry out its plans and raise capital.
