Midnight Sun Mining Corp. Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements June 30, 2020 (Expressed in Canadian dollars)

1. Nature of Operations

Midnight Sun Mining Corp. (the “Company”) was incorporated on April 11, 2007 pursuant to the Business Corporations Act of British Columbia. The Company’s principal business activity is the acquisition and exploration of mineral property interests. The Company is in the exploration stage and substantially all the Company’s efforts are devoted to financing and exploring these property interests. There has been no determination whether the Company’s interests in unproven exploration and evaluation assets contain economically recoverable mineral resources.

The Company is listed for trading on the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSX-V”) under the symbol “MMA”, and its corporate head office is located at Suite 770, 789 West Pender Street, Vancouver, BC.

2. Basis of Presentation

a) Statement of compliance

These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements, including comparatives, have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and interpretations issued by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC”). These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, Interim Financial Reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information required for full annual financial statements required by IFRS as issued by IASB and interpretations issued by IFRIC.

The policies applied in these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements are based on IFRS issued and outstanding as of August 26, 2020, the date the Board of Directors approved the statements. The same accounting policies and methods of computation are followed in these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements as compared with the most recent annual consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2019. Any subsequent changes to IFRS that are given effect in the Company’s annual financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2019 could result in restatement of these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

b) Going concern

These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis 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. If the going concern assumption were not appropriate for these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements then adjustments would be necessary in the carrying value of assets and liabilities, the reported revenues and expenses and the statement of financial position classifications used.

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. While the Company has been successful in the past at raising funds, there can be no assurance that it will be able to do so in the future.

7 | P a g e

Midnight Sun Mining Corp. Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements June 30, 2020 (Expressed in Canadian dollars)

During the six months ended June 30, 2020 and the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company experienced operating losses before income taxes and negative operating cash flows with the operations of the Company having been primarily funded by the issuance of share capital. The Company expects to incur further losses in the development of its business. These material uncertainties may cast significant doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

As at June 30, 2020, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $7,712,654 (December 31, 2019 - $7,229,513) and had working capital of $309,732 (December 31, 2019 – working capital deficit of $510,649). Management has estimated that the Company will require additional financing to complete all planned exploration programs. Continued operations are dependent on the Company's ability to complete public equity financing, secure project debt financing or generate profitable operations in the future.

In the event cash flow from operations, if any, together with the proceeds for any future financings are insufficient to meet the Company’s operating expenses, the Company will be required to reevaluate its planned expenditures and allocate its total resources in such a manner as the Board of Directors and management deem to be in the Company’s best interest. This may result in a substantial reduction of the scope of existing and planned operations.

These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not give effect to adjustments, which could be material, to the carrying values and classification of assets and liabilities, which may be required should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

COVID-19

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. It is not possible for the Company to predict the duration or magnitude of the adverse results of the outbreak and its effects on the Company's business or results of operations this time.

c) Consolidation

These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its controlled subsidiaries. Control exists when the Company possess power over an investee, has exposure to variable returns from the investee and the ability to use its power over the investee to affect its returns. All significant inter-company transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation. The Company’s significant subsidiaries are as follows:

	Country of	Effective
	Incorporation	Interest
Midnight Sun Mining Zambia Limited (“MSM Zambia”)	Zambia	100%
Midnight Sun One Co.	BVI	100%
Midnight Sun Two Co.	BVI	100%
Zambian High Light Mining Investment Limited (“ZHLMIL”)	Zambia	60%

Midnight Sun Mining Corp. Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements June 30, 2020 (Expressed in Canadian dollars)

d) Functional and presentation currency

The Company's reporting and functional currency is the Canadian dollar. The functional currency of MSM Zambia, Midnight Sun One Co., Midnight Sun Two Co., and ZHLMIL is also the Canadian dollar. Monetary assets and liabilities of the Company are translated into Canadian dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the statement of financial position date while non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at historical rates, and revenues and expenses are translated at the average rates over the reporting period. Gains and losses from these translations are included in the results from operations.

e) Basis of measurement

These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on a historical costs basis except for financial instruments classified as financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss, which are stated at their fair value. In addition, these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting except for cashflow information.

f) Estimates and judgments

The preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements and reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual outcomes could differ from these estimates. These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements include estimates, which, by their nature, are uncertain. The impacts of such estimates are pervasive throughout the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements and may require accounting adjustments based on future occurrences. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised, and the revision affects both current and future periods.

Information about critical judgments and estimates in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements are as follows:

i. Asset carrying values and impairment charges

At each reporting period, the Company reviews its non-current assets to determine whether there are any indications of impairment. Calculating the estimated recoverable amount of the cash generating unit for non-current asset impairment tests requires management to make estimates and assumptions with respect to estimated recoverable reserves, estimated future commodity prices, the expected future operating and capital costs and discount rates. Changes in any of these assumptions or estimates used in determining the recoverable amount could impact the impairment analysis.

ii. Recognition of deferred taxes

The determination of income tax expense and deferred income tax involves judgment and estimates as to the future taxable earnings, expected timing of reversals of deferred tax assets and liabilities, and interpretations of laws in the countries in which the Company operates. The Company is subject to assessments by tax authorities who may interpret the tax law differently. Changes in these estimates may materially affect the final amount of deferred income taxes or the timing of tax payments.

9 | P a g e

Midnight Sun Mining Corp. Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements June 30, 2020 (Expressed in Canadian dollars)

iii. Share-based payments

Estimating the fair value of granted stock options requires determining the most appropriate valuation model which is dependent on the terms and conditions of the grant. This estimate also requires determining the most appropriate inputs to the valuation model including the expected rate of forfeitures and dividend yield and making assumptions about them.

iv. Provision for environmental rehabilitation

The Company assesses its reclamation provisions at each reporting date. Significant estimates and assumptions are made in determining the provision for environmental rehabilitation as there are numerous factors that will affect the ultimate amount payable. These factors include estimates of the extent, cost, and timing of rehabilitation activities, technological changes, regulatory changes, cost increases as compared to the inflation rate, and changes in discount rates. These uncertainties may result in future expenditures differing from the amounts currently provided.

v. Asset acquisition

During fiscal 2017 the Company fulfilled all requirements to earn a 60% interest in the Solwezi property (note 5). The transfer of the 60% interest to the Company occurred during the year ended December 31, 2019. Management determined that the acquisition represented an acquisition of assets rather than a business combination because the mineral properties were in the exploration and evaluation stage and had not demonstrated technical feasibility, economic viability or the ability to provide economic benefit. The Solwezi property does not have the workforce, resources and reserves, mine plan, or financial resources to meet the definition of a business for accounting purposes. The Company has made the judgment that government approval is required for the asset acquisition to be completed for accounting purposes as there is uncertainty surrounding timing and completion of this approval.

vi. Functional currency

Management considers the determination of the functional currency of the Company a significant judgment. Management has used its judgment to determine the functional currency that most faithfully represents the economic effects of the underlying transactions, events and conditions and considered various factors including the currency of historical and future expenditures and the currency in which funds from financing activities are generated. A Company’s functional currency is only changed when there is a material change in the underlying transactions, events and conditions.

3. Management of Financial Risk

Fair value measurement disclosure includes classification of financial instrument fair values in a hierarchy comprising three levels reflecting the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements, described as follows:

Level 1: Valuations based on quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: Valuations based on directly or indirectly observable inputs in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, other than Level 1 prices such as quoted interest or currency exchange rates; and

Level 3: Valuations based on significant inputs that are not derived from observable market data, such as discounted cash flow methodologies based on internal cash flow forecasts.

Midnight Sun Mining Corp. Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements June 30, 2020 (Expressed in Canadian dollars)

The Company’s financial instruments are exposed to certain financial risks. The risk exposures and the impact on the Company's financial instruments are summarized as follows.

a) Fair value

The carrying value of receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and amounts due to related parties approximated their fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments.

b) Interest rate risk

The Company has non-material exposure at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 to interest rate risk through its financial instruments.

c) Currency risk

Throughout the period ended June 30, 2020 and the year ended December 31, 2019, the majority of the Company’s cash was held in Canadian dollars, the Company’s functional and reporting currency. The Company is exposed to currency risk due to accounts payable denominated in US Dollars. A 1% change in the foreign exchange rate between the Canadian and US Dollar would not result in a material fluctuation on the net loss for the year.

d) Credit risk

The Company has some cash balances and no interest-bearing debt. The Company's current policy is to invest excess cash in investment-grade short-term deposit certificates issued by Canadian financial institutions with which it keeps its bank accounts and management believes the risk of loss to be remote. The Company also has $31,147 held with a major financial institution in Zambia. Management believes the risk of loss to be remote.

Receivables consist of goods and services tax due from the Government of Canada in the amount of $5,306, for which the Company considers credit risk to be minimal, $103,768 in receivables from the non-controlling interest holder in ZHLMI for exploration expenditures made subsequent to the Company’s acquisition of a 60% interest in the subsidiary, and $25,780 from a director and officer.

e) Liquidity risk

The Company attempts to manage liquidity risk by maintaining sufficient cash balances. Liquidity requirements are managed based on expected cash flows to ensure that there is sufficient capital in order to meet short-term obligations. As at June 30, 2020, the Company had $277,330 cash (December 31, 2019 – $6,969) and current liabilities of $161,769 (December 31, 2019 - $615,959). The Company’s current working capital is insufficient to support the Company’s near term general administrative and corporate operating requirements on an on-going basis. The Company intends to raise funds adequate to meet its liquidity needs for the next twelve months via private placement.

Solwezi property

On July 30, 2013, the Company, entered into an option agreement (the “Option”) with Kam Chuen Resource Holdings Ltd. (“Kam Chuen”), to earn a 60% interest in two mineral exploration licenses, 21509-HQ-LEL and 12124-HQ-LPL, (the “Solwezi Licenses”).

Under the final terms of the Option, to earn a 60% interest in the Solwezi Licences Midnight Sun was required to issue a total of 15,333,333 common shares (issued - valued at $4,106,667) to Kam Chuen and incur a total of $3,666,667 in qualifying expenditures on the Solwezi Licenses prior to December 31, 2017.

At December 31, 2017, the Company had fulfilled all requirements to earn the 60% interest. Under the terms of the Option, upon the Company fulfilling its share issuance and exploration expenditure requirements, Kam Chuen was required to transferred 60% ownership interest in ZHLMIL to Midnight Sun. Pursuant to the Option, the Company is entitled to charge a 10% operator fee for managing the exploration programs on the Solwezi Licences, which was included in calculating the total work expenditures under the Option, but not the exploration expenditures for reporting purposes.

Midnight Sun Mining Corp. Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements June 30, 2020 (Expressed in Canadian dollars)

The licenses are held by a Zambian registered company, ZHLMIL, of which Midnight Sun is now a 60% shareholder through the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Midnight Sun (BVI) Two Corp. The share transfer from Kam Chuen to Midnight Sun (BVI) Two Corp. occurred on October 20, 2019 and was registered in Zambia with the Patents and Companies Registration Agency. The acquisition was accounted for as an asset acquisition.

On March 1, 2017, the Acting Chief Registrar of Mining Rights issued the license 21509-HQ-LEL which will be in effect for a period of 4 years with the option for future renewals providing the license is maintained in accordance with the contained terms and the Mines and Mineral Development Act, 2015 .

On November 30, 2018, the Zambian Mining Cadastre issued a renewal of prospecting license 12124-HQ-LPL as large-scale exploration license, 12124-HQ-LEL, having an expiration date of December 23, 2021. This renewal was the final renewal period available to ZHLMIL. If necessary, prior to the expiration of the license the Company and ZHLMIL will apply for a new license covering the same surface area as 12124-HQ-LEL. There is no guarantee a new license will be granted to the Company or an affiliated entity.

As at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had funded the following exploration expenditures on the Solwezi Licenses:

Prior to the close of the acquisition, but after meeting the required terms of the agreement, the Company overspent on the Option’s required exploration expenditures by a total of $3,790,603, for which it believes Kam Chuen to be responsible for reimbursement of its 40% share. The Company intends on formally requesting payment in the amount of $1,516,243 subsequent to the year ended December 31, 2019, and in lieu of receipt of payment will pursue dilution of Kam Chuen’s ownership interest in ZHLMIL. Successful collection of this amount is considered to be uncertain as the expenditures were made prior to the Company’s acquisition of the 60% share in ZHLMIL, and accordingly, no receivable has been recognized for this amount.

During the period ended June 30, 2020, the Company incurred $137,716 in exploration expenditures for which it has recognized a receivable from Kam Chuen of $55,086 (December 31, 2019 - $121,705 in exploration expenditures for which it has recognized a receivable from Kam Chuen in the amount of $48,682).

Earn-in Agreement

On April 27, 2020, the Company entered into an earn-in and joint venture agreement (the “Earnin Agreement”) with Rio Tinto Mining and Exploration Limited (“Rio Tinto”) in which Rio Tinto can earn up to a 75% interest in the Solwezi Licenses. The terms of the agreement are as follows:

• Initial Cash Payment: A cash payment in the amount of US$700,000 will become payable by Rio Tinto to Midnight Sun upon removal of conditions.

• Initial Work Program: Rio Tinto can fund an initial work program on the Solwezi Licenses by spending US$3,000,000, of which USD$2,000,000 is a firm commitment, within the next two field season. After completing the firm commitment, a further USD$300,000 will become payable by Rio Tinto to Midnight Sun before Rio Tinto proceeds with the additional expenditures.

• Stage 1: After completing the Initial Work Program, Rio Tinto can earn 51% ownership of the Solwezi Licenses by incurring a further US$16,000,000 in work expenditures within four years and making a total of US$1,000,000 in additional scheduled cash payments to Midnight Sun.

• Stage 2: Rio Tinto can earn an additional 14% ownership of the Licences by incurring a further US$14,000,000 in work expenditures or completing a Feasibility Study within three years of starting Stage 2 and making an additional US$1,000,000 cash payment to Midnight Sun.

• Stage 3: Rio Tinto can earn an additional 10% ownership of the Licences by incurring a further US$15,000,000 in work expenditures within two years.

6. Lease liabilities

During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company entered into a new office lease with a term of 32 months from January 1, 2019 and expected total payments of $70,780.

7. Loan Payable

As part of the Government of Canada’s response to the COVID-19 global pandemic, certain businesses are eligible to apply for the Canada Emergency Business Account (the “CEBA”). The CEBA provides companies with a $40,000 interest free loan to be used to cover non-deferrable operating expenses during the period where operations had been temporarily reduced due to the economic impacts of the COVID-19 virus. During the period, the Company applied for the CEBA and received the $40,000 loan. The CEBA remains interest free until December 31, 2022 and has no fixed repayment schedule. If $30,000 is repaid on or before December 31, 2022, the remaining $10,000 will be forgiven. If, at December 31, 2022, any amount remains unpaid, the Company will enter into an extension agreement whereby it will accrue interest at a rate of 5% per annum, with a repayment schedule to be determined at that time.
