NOTES TO THE CONDENSED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 (Unaudited, in Canadian dollars)

1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN

Maritime Resources Corp. (the “Company” or “Maritime”) was incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) on May 14, 2007. Maritime is an exploration stage company focused on re-starting the past producing Hammerdown Gold Mine located near the Baie Verte mining district in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada as well as exploration on its other properties in the region. The Company also holds a portfolio of mineral exploration properties and royalty interests in key mining camps across Canada in a wholly owned subsidiary.

The Company’s registered and records office is 3200 - 650 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, BC, Canada, V6B 4P7. The Company also has an office in Toronto at 1900 - 110 Yonge Street, Toronto, ON, Canada, M5C 1T4. The shares of the Company are traded on the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSX-V”) under the symbol MAE.

As the Company is in the exploration stage, the recoverability of the costs incurred to date on exploration properties is dependent upon the existence of economically recoverable reserves, the ability of the Company to obtain the necessary financing to complete the exploration and development of its properties and upon future profitable production or proceeds from the disposition of the properties and deferred exploration expenditures. 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 or recessionary conditions. To date the COVID-19 pandemic has not decreased the Company’s access to capital market financing, nor negatively impacted our business and financial position. The Company implemented strict health and safety protocols and monitors and adheres to government and medical guidelines. Maritime will continue to assess the impact of COVID-19 which remains a risk that could have material negative effects on our business or financial position in the future.

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared by management in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) applicable to a going concern, which assumes that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. The Company has incurred ongoing losses. The continuing operations of the Company are dependent upon its ability to continue to raise adequate financing and to commence profitable operations in the future and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations as they become due. Although it has been successful in raising financing in the past, there is no assurance it will be able to do so in the future. The Company estimates that, with its most recent financing, it has sufficient working capital to continue as a going concern beyond one year.

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in existence. Such adjustments could be material.

2. STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements, including comparatives, have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standards (“IAS”) 34, “Interim Financial Reporting”, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”), on a basis consistent with accounting policies disclosed in the audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, and should be read in conjunction with the most recently issued audited financial statements, which include information necessary or useful to understanding the Company’s business and financial statement presentation. In particular, the Company’s significant accounting policies which were presented in Note 3 to the Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2020 have been consistently applied in the preparation of the Company’s interim consolidated financial statements, except as noted below under Leases.

The condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the historical cost basis, except for financial instruments which are stated at fair value and have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting except

for cash flow information. All dollar amounts presented are in Canadian dollars unless otherwise specified. The condensed interim consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars unless otherwise noted.

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on November 25, 2021.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Use of estimates and judgments

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and revenue 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.

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.

Critical judgments exercised in the application of accounting policies having the most significant effects on the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements are as follows:

Economic recoverability and profitability of future economic benefits of exploration and evaluation assets – Management has determined that exploration, evaluation and related costs incurred which were capitalized may have future economic benefits and may be economically recoverable. Management uses several criteria in its assessments of economic recoverability and probability of future economic benefits, including geological and other technical information, a history of conversion of mineral deposits with similar characteristics to its properties, evaluation of permitting and environmental issues and other such factors.

Acquisition accounting – The assessment of whether acquisitions are considered business combinations or asset acquisitions requires management judgement, the outcome of which may result in different accounting treatments. Judgement is also required to determine the allocation of the fair value of the purchase price of the Acquisition (Note 4).

Royalty reserve - Royalty reserve includes proceeds received from royalty units, repayable from future production. As future production is not determinable, the royalty units have been classified as capital in nature.

Going concern - The Company assesses its ability to continue as a going concern at each period end. In assessing whether the going concern assumption is appropriate, management takes into account all available information about the future, which is at least twelve months from the end of the reporting period and include a detailed analysis of the Company's projected estimated capital and operating expenses and estimated financing requirements and abilities (see Note 1).

The most significant accounts that require estimates as the basis for determining the stated amounts include the following:

Decommissioning and rehabilitation provision – Management’s determination of the Company’s decommissioning and rehabilitation provision is based on the reclamation and closure activities it anticipates as being required and its

P a g e | 6

==> picture [134 x 56] intentionally omitted <==

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 (Unaudited, in Canadian dollars)

estimate of the probable costs and timing of such activities and measures. Accounting for reclamation obligations requires management to make estimates and judgements of the future costs the Company will incur to complete the reclamation work required to comply with existing laws and regulations at each mining operation and exploration and development property. Actual costs incurred may differ from those amounts estimated. Also, future changes to environmental laws and regulations could increase the extent of reclamation work required to be performed by the Company. Increases in future costs could materially impact the amounts charged to operations for reclamation. The provision represents management’s best estimate of the present value of the future reclamation and remediation obligation. The actual future expenditures may differ from the amounts currently provided.

Valuation of share-based payments, broker compensation and finders’ warrants – The Company uses the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model for valuation of share-based payments, agent compensation and finders’ warrants, which requires the input of subjective assumptions including expected price volatility, interest rate, and forfeiture rate. Changes in the input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate and the Company’s results and equity reserves. The resulting value calculated is not necessarily the value that the holder of the option could receive in an arm’s length transaction, given that there is no market for the options and they are not transferable.

Income taxes – In assessing the probability of realizing deferred tax assets, management makes estimates related to expectation of future taxable income, applicable tax opportunities, expected timing of reversals of existing temporary differences and the likelihood that the tax position taken will be sustained upon examination by applicable tax authorities. In making its assessments, management gives additional weight to positive and negative evidence that can be objectively verified.

While management believes that these estimates are reasonable, actual results could differ from those estimates and could impact future results of operation and cash flows.

4. ACQUISITION

On April 12, 2021, Maritime Resources Corp. and its subsidiary (the “Company” or “Maritime”) closed a transaction with two subsidiaries of Rambler Metals and Mining PLC, namely Rambler Metals and Mining Canada Limited and 1948565 Ontario Inc. (together, “Rambler”) in respect of the purchase by the Company (the “Acquisition”) of the gold circuit at the Nugget Pond metallurgical facility in the Baie Verte mining district of Newfoundland and Labrador, the Lac Pelletier gold project in Rouyn Noranda, Québec and several other mineral exploration properties located in Québec, Manitoba and Ontario and a portfolio of royalty interests in key mining camps across Canada (collectively, the “Assets”). Sprott Capital Partners LP acted as advisor to Maritime in connection with the Acquisition and were issued 400,000 common shares with a fair value of $82,000 in consideration for such services.

Pursuant to the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement, the consideration paid by the Company for the Assets was US$2,000,000 in cash and the issuance of a number of common shares in the capital of the Company (the “Common Shares”) equal to $500,000, based on the 30-day volume weighted average price of the Common Shares as of the closing date of the Acquisition, representing 3,571,428 shares issued at a price of $0.14 and having a fair value of $660,714 based on the closing share price of Maritime on April 12, 2021.

The Company also assumed the reclamation liability associated with Nugget Pond gold plant assets in their current nonoperating state of $718,750 (Note 12). The Company incurred transaction costs of $315,765 in addition to a deposit of $200,000 paid to Rambler on March 12, 2020 totaling $515,765 and included $82,000 for the non-cash fair value of the 400,000 common shares issued for advisory services.

The transaction is accounted for as an asset acquisition and the allocation of the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed is based on estimated fair values at the time of acquisition. Management has substantially

completed the process of determining fair values for the assets and liabilities acquired. However, the purchase price allocation is subject to change as the valuation process is completed during 2021.

9. EXPLORATION AND EVALUATION ASSETS

Green Bay

12. RECLAMATION LIABILITY

The Company’s estimates of future decommissioning and restoration for reclamation and closure costs for its gold plant milling assets are based on reclamation standards that meet Canadian regulatory requirements. Elements of uncertainty in estimating these amounts include potential changes in regulatory requirements, reclamation plans and cost estimates, discount rates and timing of expected expenditures.

The undiscounted amount of estimated cash flows required to settle the decommissioning and reclamation costs, related to the Nugget Pond gold circuit assets acquired on April 12, 2021, is estimated at $718,750. Accretion on the liability, at this time, is nominal due to the low and offsetting inflation and risk-free interest rates. The Company has recorded the undiscounted amount of estimated reclamation costs and will re-evaluate the estimated timing and value of outflows annually and will revise its estimate if necessary.

15. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, receivables, deposits and accounts payable and accrued liabilities. Cash is measured at fair value based on Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. The fair values of receivables and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their book carrying values because of the short-term nature of these instruments.

  • (a) Credit risk - Credit risk is the risk that a counter party to a financial instrument will fail to discharge its contractual obligations. The Company is exposed to credit risk with respect to its cash and receivables. The maximum exposure to loss arising from receivables is equal to their carrying amounts. The Company manages credit risk with respect to its cash by maintaining demand deposits with a major Canadian financial institution; however, this exposes the Company’s cash to concentration of credit risk as all amounts are held at a single institution. Receivables are due from a government agency.

  • (b) Liquidity risk - Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in satisfying financial obligations as they become due. The Company manages its liquidity risk by forecasting cash flows from operations and anticipated investing and financing activities.

  • (c) Market risk - Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate

due to changes in market prices. Market risk comprises three types of risk: interest rate risk, foreign currency risk and other price risk.

  • (d) Interest rate risk - Interest rate risk consists of two components:

  • i) To the extent that payments made or received on the Company’s monetary assets and liabilities are affected by changes in the prevailing market interest rates, the Company is exposed to interest rate cash flow risk; and

  • ii) To the extent that changes in prevailing market rates differ from the interest rate in the Company’s monetary assets and liabilities, the Company is exposed to interest rate price risk.

The Company is not exposed to significant interest rate risk due to the short-term maturity of its monetary assets and liabilities.

  • (e) Foreign currency risk - Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company is not exposed to foreign currency risk as its monetary assets and liabilities are denominated in Canadian dollars.

  • (f) Other price risk - Other price risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market prices, other than those arising from interest rate risk or foreign currency risk. The Company monitors metal prices in determining its long-term business plans.

There were no changes in the Company’s approach to managing the above risks.

16. 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, exploration and development of 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 Company defines capital that it manages as equity, consisting of common shares, stock options and warrants.

The Company is dependent upon external financings to fund activities. In order to carry out any exploration and pay for administrative costs, the Company will spend its existing working capital and raise additional funds as needed. The Company will continue to assess new properties and seek to acquire an interest in additional properties if it believes there is sufficient geologic or economic potential and if it has adequate financial resources to do so.

There were no changes in the Company’s capital management strategy during the nine month period ended September 30, 2021 compared to the previous period. The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements.

As at September 30, 2021, the Company is obligated to incur $2,725,522 of qualifying flow-through expenditures prior to December 31, 2022.
