NOTES TO THE CONDENSED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the three months ended March 31, 2020

All tabular amounts are in thousands of United States dollars unless otherwise stated (Unaudited)

1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN

Mako Mining Corp. (“Mako” or the “Company”) was incorporated on April 1, 2004 under the laws of the Yukon Territory and continued into British Columbia under the British Columbia Corporations Act. The Company is listed on the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSX-V”) under the symbol MKO. The address of the Company’s corporate office and principal place of business is Suite 2833 – 595 Burrard Street, Vancouver, BC, Canada.

Due to the Company's change in year-end from April 30 to December 31 in the 2019 calendar year, the comparative figures in these condensed interim consolidated financial statements are for the three-months ended April 30, 2019.

The Company’s primary asset is the San Albino-Murra Property in Nicaragua (“San Albino Property”), which is in the development stage.

Going concern

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going-concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of operations for the foreseeable future.

As at March 31, 2020, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $201,137 (December 31, 2019 - $4,253,102), a working capital deficit of $8,903,029 (December 31, 2019 – $4,047,611), and an accumulated deficit of $71,113,255 (December 31, 2019 - $74,414,613). The Company recorded net income of $3,301,358 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 (net loss for the three months ended April 30, 2020 –$10,587,594) and had cash outflows from operating activities of $1,793,864 (for the three months ended April 30, 2019 - $1,331,117) and investing outflows of $7,200,707 (for the three months ended April 30, 2019 - $96,948). Subsequent to March 31, 2020, the Company drew down an additional $10,000,000 on the unsecured credit arrangement from its controlling shareholder (Note 15) that will be used to further the development of the Company’s San Albino Property and for general working capital purposes.

Based on the Company’s construction, development and exploration activities in Nicaragua and its current level of spending for general corporate purposes, the Company will require additional funding within the next twelve months. The Company has primarily raised funds through the sale of securities and more recently, through debt. The Company expects that it will continue to obtain funding through similar or other means depending on market conditions and other relevant factors at the time. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain such additional funding or obtain it on acceptable terms. This material uncertainty casts significant doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These consolidated financial statements do not reflect the adjustments to carrying values of assets and liabilities that would be necessary should the going concern assumption prove to be inappropriate, and these adjustments could be material.

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

(a) Statement of compliance

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) 34, Interim Financial Reporting using accounting policies consistent with the International Financial Reporting Standards issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IFRS”).

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the three months ended March 31, 2020

All tabular amounts are in thousands of United States dollars unless otherwise stated (Unaudited)

Accordingly, they do not include all the information and notes to the consolidated financial statements required by IFRS for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s most recent audited consolidated financial statements for the eight months ended December 31, 2019.

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements were approved for issuance by the Board of Directors on June 1, 2020.

(b) Basis of presentation

The accounting policies and methods used in the preparation of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements are the same as those applied in the Company’s most recent audited consolidated financial statements for the eight months ended December 31, 2019 except for:

Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs are expensed as incurred except where they are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset that takes a substantial period of time to prepare for its intended use are capitalized as part of the cost of the asset. Capitalization of borrowing costs begin when there are borrowings and activities commence to prepare an asset for its intended use. Capitalization of borrowing costs ends when substantially all activity necessary to prepare a qualifying asset for its intended use are complete. Borrowing costs directly attributable to the construction of the San Albino Project have been capitalized within construction in progress costs.

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis except for certain financial instruments that are measured at fair value.

(c) Use of judgements and estimates

The preparation of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. 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 results may differ from these estimates.

Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed at each period end. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.

The significant judgments made by management in applying the Company’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the consolidated financial statements as at and for the eight months ended December 31, 2019.

COVID-19 Estimation Uncertainty

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared a global pandemic related to COVID-19. The current and expected impacts on global commerce are anticipated to be far reaching. To date there have been significant stock

market declines, significant volatility in commodity and foreign exchange markets and the global movement of people and some goods has become restricted. On March 23, 2020, in response to the COVID-19 global pandemic, the Company announced some proactive changes to the San Albino gold project development schedule. Mako has reduced the employee and contractor workforce from 400 to slightly less than 250 people. While the Company continues to operate its business and move the development of the San Albino Project forward, there is significant ongoing uncertainty surrounding COVID-19 and the extent and duration of the impacts that it may have on future production, future cash flows in 2020 and on global financial markets. The Company is continuously monitoring the situation in Nicaragua, which could impact the timing of completion of the San Albino Mine.

San Albino Property, Nicaragua

During the eight months ended December 31, 2019, the Company’s Board approved the development of the San Albino Property. The Company made the decision to develop the mine based on a preliminary economic assessment, combined with other factors. Effective the date of this decision, all capitalized exploration and evaluation costs associated with San Albino were transferred to construction in progress, a non-depreciable category of mineral property until it is ready for its intended use.

  • $4,000,000 (paid) on the date of signing the settlement agreement

  • $1,000,000 on the first anniversary of the settlement agreement

  • $1,000,000 on the second anniversary of the settlement agreement

Management has discounted the value of the long-term portion of the liability using a rate of 8%, which is management’s estimate of the weighted average cost of capital for the Company.

Reclamation activities at the La Trinidad mine commenced during the eight months ended December 31, 2019.

9. TERM LOAN

On February 20, 2020, the Company entered into a $15,150,000 unsecured term loan facility (the “Term Loan”) from Wexford Catalyst Trading Limited, Wexford Spectrum Trading Limited and Debello Trading Limited (collectively, the “Lenders”), each private investment funds managed by the Company’s controlling shareholder, Wexford Capital LP (“Term Loan Agreement”). The Term Loan matures in August 2022 and may be prepaid at any time, in whole or in part, at par plus accrued but unpaid interest, without penalty or premium. The Term Loan bears interest at the rate of 8.0% per annum until the first anniversary of the closing date, increasing to 10% per annum thereafter, which interest is payable semi-annually on June 30[th] and December 31[st] each year, with the first interest payment due on December 31, 2020. The Term Loan will be made available in up to three drawdowns on dates to be selected by the Company within twelve months of the closing date. Each drawdown will be for a maximum of $5,000,000 (except that the first drawdown may be for a maximum of up to $5,150,000).

To the extent a drawdown is less than $5,000,000, the balance of the commitment under that drawdown tranche will be permanently cancelled and any portion of the commitment that is not advanced within twelve months following the closing date will be permanently cancelled. The Company has agreed to pay a non-refundable upfront fee of $150,000 to the Lenders on the closing of the Term Loan.

In addition, if the Loan is not repaid in full on or prior to the first anniversary of the closing date, then the Company must pay to the Lenders cash bonus interest on the first anniversary of the closing date and on each successive anniversary in an amount equal to the cash equivalent of 500 ounces of gold calculated based on the average Gold Fixing Price in the London Bullion Market during the most recently completed calendar month at the time the payment is made, in accordance with the applicable formula set out in the Term Loan Agreement.

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company recorded finance costs of $140,787 and accrued interest on the Term Loan of $44,856, which has been capitalized to construction in progress. Due to the uncertainty of COVID-19 management has assumed that the Term Loan will be outstanding on the first anniversary of the closing date. As such, the Company has accrued a cash bonus interest of $28,952 based on a gold futures price per ounce of $1,599. As at March 31, 2020, the Company had drawn down $5,150,000. Refer to Note 15.

10. SHARE CAPITAL

(a) Authorized - Unlimited number of common shares, without par value.

12. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT

  • (a) Carrying amount versus fair value

Financial Instruments measured at fair value are classified into one of three levels 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 – 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); and

Level 3 – inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the three months ended March 31, 2020

All tabular amounts are in thousands of United States dollars unless otherwise stated (Unaudited)

The Company’s financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, receivables and accounts payable. The carrying values of cash, receivables and accounts payables approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments or capacity of prompt liquidation.

The Company does not have any financial instruments that are measured using level 3 inputs.

During the three months ended March 31, 2020 there were no transfers between level 1, level 2 and level 3 classified assets and liabilities.

13. SEGMENTED INFORMATION

As at March 31, 2020, the Company has one business segment, the production of gold and exploration of resources. The Company’s principal product is gold doré with the refined gold bullion sold in the London spot market by the subsidiary in Barbados. The gold doré is produced at the La Trinidad Mine in Mexico.
