Max Resource Corp. Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements (Expressed in Canadian Dollars - Unaudited) June 30, 2021
1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN
Max Resource Corp. (the “Company” or “Max Resource”) was incorporated on April 25, 1994, under the laws of the province of Alberta, Canada, and continued its jurisdiction of incorporation into British Columbia on February 5, 2019. The Company’s principal activity is the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties in South America and Canada. The Company’s shares are traded on the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSX-V”) under the symbol “MXR”.
The Company’s head office is located at #1188 - 1095 West Pender Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, V6E 2M6 and its registered and records office is located at 25[th] Floor, 700 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, V7Y 1B3.
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the assumption that the Company will continue as a going concern, meaning that it will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize assets and discharge liabilities in the ordinary course of operations. Different basis of measurement may be appropriate if the Company is not expected to continue operations for the foreseeable future. As at June 30, 2021, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $32,571,625 and working capital of $2,419,955 and, to date, the Company has not generated any revenues to meet its operating and administrative expenses or its other obligations. The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to raise equity capital or borrowings sufficient to meet current and future obligations and ultimately to attain profitable operations. These material uncertainties may cast significant doubt on the ability of the Company to continue operations as a going concern. Management intends to finance operating costs over the next twelve months with private placements of the Company’s common shares and loans from related parties.
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.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND BASIS OF PREPARATION
Statement of compliance with International Financial Reporting Standards
These condensed interim financial statements, including comparatives, have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) and International Accounting Standards (“IAS”) 34 “Interim Financial Reporting” as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). Accordingly, certain disclosures included in the December 31, 2020 audited financial statements prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the IASB have been condensed or omitted and these unaudited condensed interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020.
The accounting policies applied in these condensed interim financial statements are consistent with those applied and disclosed in the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020. The Company’s interim results are not necessarily indicative of its results for a full year.
These condensed interim financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors of the Company and authorized for issuance on August 30, 2021.

Max Resource Corp. Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements (Expressed in Canadian Dollars - Unaudited) June 30, 2021
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND BASIS OF PREPARATION (continued)
Basis of preparation
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. In addition, the condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting except for cash flow disclosure.
The consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, which is also the functional currency of the Company, unless otherwise noted.
Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and the following subsidiaries:
| Name | Jurisdiction |
|---|---|
| Gachala Colombia Corp. | British Columbia, Canada |
| Gachala Colombia Corp Sucursal Colombia (“Gachala”) | Colombia |
| PGE Americas Metals Corp. | British Columbia, Canada |
| Valleduper Colombia Corp. | British Columbia, Canada |
| Valleduper Colombia S.A.S. (“Valleduper”) | Colombia |
| Baccancas Colombia Corp. | British Columbia, Canada |
| Baccancas Colombia S.A.S. (“Baccancas”) | Colombia |
| Bocono Colombia Corp. | British Columbia, Canada |
| Bocono Colombia Corp S.A.S. (“Bocono”) | Colombia |
| TUCO Resource Corp. | British Columbia, Canada |
| TUCO Resource Corp. S.A.C (“TUCO”) | Peru |
Inter-company balances and transactions, including unrealized income and expenses arising from intercompany transactions, are eliminated on consolidation.
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS 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 the reported revenues and expenses during the period.
Although management uses historical experience and its best knowledge of the amount, events or actions to form the basis for judgments and estimates, actual results may differ from these estimates.
The most significant accounts that require estimates as the basis for determining the stated amounts include the uncertainty of COVID-19 pandemic, recoverability of exploration and evaluation assets, determination of functional currency, valuation of share-based compensation and other equity based payments, and the recoverability and measurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities.

Max Resource Corp. Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements (Expressed in Canadian Dollars - Unaudited) June 30, 2021
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND BASIS OF PREPARATION (continued)
Use of estimates (continued)
Critical judgment exercised in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the financial statements is as follows:
- Uncertainty of COVID 19 pandemic
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, customers, economies, and financial markets globally, potentially leading to an economic downturn. It has also disrupted the normal operations of many businesses, including Max Resource. This outbreak could decrease spending, adversely affect the raising of capital and harm Max Resource’s business and results of operations. It is not possible for management to predict the duration or magnitude of the adverse results of the outbreak and its effects on the business or results of operations at this time.
Economic recoverability and probability of future economic benefits of mineral 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, geologic and other technical information, a history of conversion of mineral resources with similar characteristics to its own properties to proven and probable mineral reserves, the quality and capacity of existing infrastructure facilities, evaluation of permitting and environmental issues and local support for the project.
Functional currency
The functional currency of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries is the Canadian dollar (“CAD”); however, determination of functional currency may involve certain judgments to determine the primary economic environment which is re-evaluated for each new entity or if conditions change.
Information about assumptions and estimation uncertainties that have a significant risk of resulting in material adjustments are as follows:
Valuation of share-based compensation
The Company uses the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model for valuation of share-based compensation and other equity-based payments. Option pricing models require 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 earnings and equity reserves.
Income taxes
In assessing the probability of realizing income 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 tax positions 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.
Foreign currency translation
Functional and presentation currency:
The functional currency of each entity is measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which that entity operates. The consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars which is the parent company and its subsidiaries’ functional and presentation currency.

Max Resource Corp. Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements (Expressed in Canadian Dollars - Unaudited) June 30, 2021
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND BASIS OF PREPARATION (continued)
Foreign currency translation (continued)
Transactions and balances:
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities, expenses and other income arising from foreign currency transactions are translated at the exchange rate in effect at the date of the transaction. Exchange gains or losses arising from the translation are included in the determination
Equipment
Equipment is stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Subsequent costs directly related to a recognized asset are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of significant replaced parts are derecognized. All other repairs and maintenance costs are charged to the statement of loss and comprehensive loss during the financial period in which they are incurred.
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognized in profit or loss. Depreciation is calculated using the declining balance method or straight-line basis to write off the cost of the assets to their residual values over their estimated useful lives. The depreciation rates applicable to each category is as follows:
| Class | Depreciation rate |
|---|---|
| Computers | 55% |
| Equipment | 20% |
| Office furniture | 20% |
| Vehicles | 10 yrs |
Future accounting standards, amendments and interpretations
The Company has performed an assessment of new standards issued by the IASB that are not yet effective and has determined that any standards that have been issued would have no or very minimal impact on the Company’s financial statements.

4. EXPLORATION AND EVALUATION ASSETS AND EXPENDITURES (continued)
RT Gold Project
On September 16, 2020, the Company optioned the RT Gold property which consists of two contiguous mineral concessions within the district of Tabaconas, Peru. To earn a 100% interest in the property, the Company must:
-
pay US$300,000 to the vendors on execution of the agreement (paid);
-
pay US$300,000 on or before each of the first, second, third, and fourth anniversary; and
-
pay US$3,000,0000 on or before the fifth anniversary.
Upon acquiring a 100% interest in the RT Gold property, the vendors will retain a 2.5% net smelter royalty on the commercial production of the RT Gold property.
EBAY Project
On May 11, 2020, the Company optioned the EBAY property located in Quebec, Canada. To earn a 100% interest in the property, the Company must:
-
pay $25,000 (paid) to the vendor on signing of the agreement;
-
issue 2,950,000 common shares of the Company (issued at a value of $250,750) to the vendor within seven days of TSX-V approval;
-
pay a further $25,000, issue additional common shares of the Company having a market value of $75,000, and incur $200,000 of expenditures on or before May 11, 2021;
-
pay a further $25,000, issue additional common shares of the Company having a market value of $75,000, and incur a further $200,000 of expenditures on or before May 11, 2022; and
-
pay a further $75,000, issue additional common shares of the Company having a market value of $225,000, and incur a further $500,000 of expenditures on or before May 11, 2023.
The number of common shares to be issued under the EBAY agreement shall be computed by dividing the common share issuance value by the share price defined as the volume weighted average price of the common shares on the TSX-V over the 30 day period prior to the share issuance.
Management decided not to proceed with the EBAY Project; as such, the option agreement was terminated and the project was written off during the year ended December 31, 2020.
Other Projects
For the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company incurred exploration and evaluation expenditures on projects as follows:

4. EXPLORATION AND EVALUATION ASSETS AND EXPENDITURES (continued)
For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company incurred exploration and evaluation expenditures on projects as follows:
| CESAR | EBAY | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Project | Project | Total | |
| $ | $ | $ | |
| Licensing/acquisition costs | 4,707 | 275,750 | 280,457 |

| Balance, June 30, 2020 | 377,271 | 320,925 | 698,196 |
These amounts have been expensed as they do not meet the criteria for capitalization under IFRS 6 as the Company does not yet have title to the licenses which are currently in the application phase with the ANM (the Colombian National Mining Agency). Applications made in the Choco area are in the final stage of approval but have been delayed due to the disruption caused by COVID-19. The expectation for the approval of all applications is the end of 2021.
Choco Project (aka Novita Project)

9. FINANCIAL RISK AND CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
The Company is exposed in varying degrees to a variety of financial instrument related risks. The Board of Directors approves and monitors the risk management processes. The type of risk exposure and the way in which such exposure is managed is provided as follows:
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will fail to discharge an obligation and cause the other party to incur a financial loss. The Company’s primary exposure to credit risk is on its cash held in bank accounts. The Company’s cash is deposited with a major bank in Canada and Peru. This risk is managed by using a major bank that is a high credit quality financial institution as determined by rating agencies.
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 has a planning and budgeting process in place to help determine the funds required to support the Company’s normal operating requirements on an ongoing basis.
Historically, the Company's primary source of funding has been the issuance of equity securities for cash, primarily through private placements and the advance of loans. The Company’s access to equity financing is dependent upon market conditions and market risks. There can be no assurance of continued access to equity funding.
As at June 30, 2021, the Company had a cash balance of $2,442,529 to settle current liabilities of $374,683.
Currency risk
Currency risk is the risk that the fair values of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because they are denominated in currencies that differ from the respective functional currency. The Company is exposed to currency risk as it incurs expenditures that are denominated in United States dollars, Colombian Pesos, and the Peruvian Sol while its functional currency is the Canadian dollar. The Company does not hedge its exposure to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. The majority of cash is held in Canadian dollars.

Max Resource Corp. Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements (Expressed in Canadian Dollars - Unaudited) June 30, 2021
9. FINANCIAL RISK AND CAPITAL MANAGEMENT (continued)
The following is a summary of Canadian dollar equivalent financial assets and liabilities that are denominated in United States dollars, Colombian Pesos, or Peruvian Sol:
| June 30, | December 31, | |
|---|---|---|
| 2021 | 2020 | |
| $ | $ | |
| Cash | 112,955 | 144,481 |
| Taxes recoverable | 15,955 | - |
| Trade payables | (81,559) | (3,415) |
| Net assets (liabilities) | 47,351 | 141,066 |
Based on the above net exposures, there would be a nominal impact on the Company’s net loss should there be a significant change in the Canadian dollar exchange rate compared to with the United Sates dollars, Colombian Pesos, or Peruvian Sol.
Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk due to variability of interest rates. The Company is exposed to interest rate risk on its bank account. The income earned on the bank account is subject to the movements in interest rates. The Company has cash balances and fixed interest-bearing debt, therefore, interest rate risk is nominal.
Capital management
The Company's policy is to maintain a capital base sufficient to maintain investor and creditor confidence and to sustain future development of the business. The capital structure of the Company consists of working capital and share capital. There were no changes in the Company's approach to capital management during the period. The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.
Fair value
Financial instruments measured at fair value are classified into one of three levels in the fair value hierarchy according to the relative reliability of the inputs used to estimate the fair values. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are:
-
Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
-
Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly; and
-
Level 3 – Inputs that are not based on observable market data.
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, taxes recoverable, and accounts payables. The fair value of taxes recoverable and accounts payables approximates their carrying values. Cash and cash equivalents is measured at fair value using level 1 inputs.
