Notes to the Condensed Interim Financial Statements For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2021 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars)
1. NATURE AND CONTINUANCE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN
Metallis Resources Inc. (“the Company”) was incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) on June 19, 2007. The Company’s shares are listed on the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSX-V”) under the symbol “MTS” and on the OTCQB Venture Market under the symbol "MTLFF". The Company’s registered and head office is located at Suite #604 - 850 West Hastings Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, V6C 1E1, and its website is at www.metallisresources.com.
The Company is engaged in the exploration of mineral properties and has not yet determined whether any of its properties contain economically recoverable reserves. To date, the Company has not earned any operating revenues and is in the exploration stage. The mining exploration business involves a high degree of risk. The recoverability of the amounts expended on mineral interests by the Company is dependent upon the existence of economically recoverable reserves, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing to complete the exploration and development of its mineral properties and upon future profitable production or proceeds from disposition of its mineral interests.
The Company operates in a single jurisdiction with the single business activity of exploration and, accordingly, segmented information is not required.
These financial statements of the Company are presented in Canadian dollars, which is the functional currency of the Company.
Going Concern of Operations
These financial statements have been prepared on the basis that the Company will continue as a going concern which assumes that the Company will be able to continue operating for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of operations. As an exploration stage company, the Company has incurred net operating losses since its inception and the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern depends upon its ability to raise adequate financing when required and to ultimately develop profitable operations.
In recent years, the Company has raised funds from equity investors to provide for its exploration and working capital needs. The most recent private placement was completed in the current fiscal year, raising $3.7 million. In assessing whether the going concern assumption is appropriate, management takes in account all available information about the future, which is at least, but is not limited to, twelve months from the end of the reporting period. Management has assessed that the Company currently has sufficient funds to execute its Phase I exploration programs and fund its corporate operations for the ensuing year.
On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared coronavirus COVID-19 a global pandemic. The pandemic has continued to spread with new variants arising from time to time, resulting in adverse public health developments. It has impacted global workforces, economies, and financial markets. It is not possible at this time for the Company to predict the duration or magnitude of the adverse results of the pandemic nor its future impacts on the Company’s business or operations.

1. NATURE AND CONTINUANCE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN (continued)
Going Concern of Operations (continued)
Other fundraising may be undertaken from time to time, and may include private placements, convertible debentures, third party earn-ins or joint ventures using debt or equity financing structures. To the extent future financing is not available, future working capital commitments beyond 2021 may not be satisfied and future exploration programs may face curtailment and could result in a loss of property ownership or earning opportunities for the Company. In addition, should the Company be unable to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business, the net realizable value of its assets may be materially less than the amounts recorded on the statements of financial position. These financial statements do not include adjustments to amounts and classifications of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue operations.

Kirkham Property – Golden Triangle, Skeena Mining Division, British Columbia, Canada
The Kirkham Property (the “Property”) is comprised of 30 mineral claims situated in the “Golden Triangle” region of north-western British Columbia, Canada. The Property was assembled by the Company through a series of transactions between 2013 and 2015 including staking, re-staking and acquisitions from third parties.
Twenty (20) of the mineral claims are subject to third-party Net Smelter Return (“NSR”) royalties of 2%. The Company is entitled to purchase each 1% increment of the NSR royalty for $500,000.
Recovery of expenses is primarily composed of BC Mineral Exploration tax credits receivable but may also include provincial tax recoveries or vendor credits.
No impairments on the Property were observed during the period ended September 30, 2021 or the year ended December 31, 2020.
Title to mineral properties involves certain inherent risks due to the difficulties of determining the validity of certain claims, as well as the potential for problems arising from the frequently ambiguous conveyance history characteristic of many mineral properties. To the best of its knowledge, the Company's title to all of its mineral claims and properties are in good standing.

8. FLOW-THROUGH PREMIUM LIABILITY
During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2021, the Company issued 6,090,000 flow-through shares at a price of $0.50 per share for gross proceeds of $3,045,000 (the “Financing”) and recognized a flow-through premium liability of $304,500 as the difference between the flow-through share price and the non-flow-through share price in the concurrent offering of flow-through and non-flow-through units. The Company incurred qualifying exploration expenses of $2,728,370 during the period. The first $363,254 of those expenditures was applied against the remaining obligation in respect of a flow-through private placement completed in October 2020. The balance of $2,365,116 was applied against the obligation to spend $3,045,000 arising from the current period private placement, leaving a balance to spend of $679,884 by the end of 2022.
The incurrence of qualifying exploration expenses reduces the flow-through share premium liability, which the Company recognizes as other income on settlement of flow-through share premium liability. The following table summarizes the changes in flow-through premium liability:

The flow-through shares will qualify as “flow-through shares” for the purpose of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the “Act”). The proceeds of the flow-through private placement will be incurred on “Canadian exploration expenses” (within the meaning of the Act). The Company will renounce these expenses to the purchasers with the effective date no later than December 31, 2021, and as required under the Act.
The Company paid a total of $13,800 in cash finders’ fees and issued 27,600 finder’s warrants exercisable at $0.50 per share for two years from the date of issuance. The finders warrants were valued at $6,207 under the Black Scholes pricing model. Other filing and transfer agent fees totalling $21,688 were incurred in connection with the financing.

Stock options:
The Company has a stock option plan in place under which it is authorized to grant options to its directors, executive officers, employees and consultants. At the Company’s previous Annual General Meeting held on September 15, 2020, the shareholders re-approved the adoption of a 10% Rolling Stock Option Plan. The exercise price of each stock option equals the market price of the Company's stock as calculated on the date of grant. The options can be granted for a maximum term of 5 years and vest at the discretion of the Board of Directors at the time of grant.
Stock options granted to employees or consultants in respect of investor relations activities follow the vesting provisions of the TSX-V, which allow for vesting of options as to no more than 25% of the grant vesting each three months, measured from the date of grant.

12. FINANCIAL AND CAPITAL RISK MANAGEMENT
Financial instruments
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, deposits, accounts payable, lease liability and due to related parties. Except for cash and cash equivalents, all financial instruments held by the Company are measured at amortized cost. Nevertheless, the fair values of these financial instruments approximate their carrying value due to their short-term maturities. The fair values of cash and cash equivalents are measured at fair value through profit or loss and any changes to fair value subsequent to initial recognition are recorded in profit or loss for the period in which they occur.

12. FINANCIAL AND CAPITAL RISK MANAGEMENT (continued)
Fair values of financial instruments are classified in a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used to determine fair values, as follows:
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 fair values of cash and cash equivalents are measured based on Level 1 inputs of the fair value hierarchy.
The Company’s risk exposures and the impact on the Company’s financial instruments are summarized below:
Credit Risk
Credit risk arises from the potential that one or more counterparties fail to meet their obligations. The Company is normally exposed to credit risk through its cash and cash equivalents and receivables. The Company manages credit risk associated with its cash and cash equivalents by using reputable financial institutions, from which management believes the risk to be remote. Receivables primarily consist of recoverable Canadian sales taxes, Canadian mineral exploration tax credits and accrued interest, which management believes the collectability of these amounts to be assured.
Liquidity Risk
The Company’s approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet liabilities when due. As at September 30, 2021, the Company has cash and cash equivalents of $2.3 million (December 31, 2020 - $2.3 million) to settle total current liabilities of $0.6 million (December 31, 2020 - $0.3 million). The Company has sufficient liquidity for its working capital requirements over the ensuing year and its 2022 Phase I field exploration programs.
The Company has historically relied on equity financings and non-core asset sales for its capital requirements. It will continue to depend upon equity capital as required and may also enter into convertible debentures, earnin arrangements, joint ventures or the sale of certain property interests. There can be no assurance the Company will be able to obtain its future financings on acceptable terms. The ability of the Company to continue this course will depend, in part, on the prevailing market conditions and the market interest in financing the Company’s mineral property exploration programs.
Interest rate risk
The Company is not exposed to material risk in the event of interest rate fluctuations. The Company has no long-term debt other than a lease liability, has not entered into any interest rate swaps or other financial arrangements that mitigate the exposure to interest rate fluctuations, and current interest rates remain historically low. For these reasons, the Company believes it is not subject to material risks should interest rates change.

12. FINANCIAL AND CAPITAL RISK MANAGEMENT (continued)
Foreign currency risk
The Company's functional currency is the Canadian dollar and immaterial amounts are in other currencies. Management believes the foreign exchange risk derived from currency conversions is not significant and therefore does not hedge its foreign exchange risk.
13. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
The Company endeavors to maintain appropriate levels of capital and liquidity. Sufficient liquidity is required to meet liabilities and financial obligations as they become due. The Company has no commercial operations or source of revenue, no long-term debt other than a lease liability, and no externally imposed capital requirements other than those specified under continuous listing requirements. The Company's capital is, therefore, its issued share capital. The capital required for operations and property exploration is expected to continue to come from the issuance of common shares or units for the foreseeable future. The Company's objectives of capital and liquidity management are to fund critical exploration work, meet on-going liabilities, maintain creditworthiness, minimize shareholder dilution and to ultimately maximize returns for shareholders over the long term.
There were no changes in the Company’s capital management objectives during the period ended September 30, 2021.
The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements.
14. EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING PERIOD
The Company’s Annual General and Special Meeting was held on October 29, 2021 and all resolutions passed.
