1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN
Minnova Corp. (the "Company") is a public company incorporated on July 19, 1994, pursuant to the laws of the Companies Act of Barbados. Since the Company's management and the principal office of the Company are located in Toronto, Ontario, a continuance (the "Continuance") of the Company from the laws of Barbados to the laws of the Province of Ontario was filed on April 21, 2010. As a result of the Continuance, the corporate legislation that governs the Company ceased to be the Barbados Act and the Company is now governed by the Business Corporations Act (Ontario). The registered office of the Company is located at 217 Queen Street West, Suite 401, Toronto, Ontario, M5V 0R2. On June 26, 2014, the Company changed its name to "Minnova Corp." and commenced trading on the Toronto Stock Venture Exchange ("TSX-V") on June 27, 2014, under the new symbol "MCI".
The Company's exploration operations are subject to government legislation, policies and controls relating to prospecting, development, production, environmental protection, mining taxes and labour standards. In order for the Company to carry out its exploration activities, the Company is required to hold certain permits. There is no assurance that the Company's existing permits will be renewed or that new permits that have been or will be applied for will be granted.
Major expenditures are required to locate and establish ore reserves, to develop metallurgical processes and to construct mining and processing facilities at a particular site. The recoverability of valuations assigned to exploration properties and deferred exploration expenditures is dependent upon discovery of economically recoverable reserves, the ability to obtain necessary financing to complete development and future profitable production or proceeds from disposition.
Although the Company has taken steps to verify title to exploration properties in which it has an interest in accordance with industry standards for the current stage of exploration of such properties, these procedures do not guarantee the Company's title. Property title may be subject to other licensing requirements or regulations, social licensing requirements unregistered prior agreements, unregistered claims, aboriginal land claims and non-compliance with regulatory requirements.
In order to meet future expenditures and cover administrative costs, the Company will need to raise additional financing. The Company has a working capital deficiency of $1,550,781 (March 31, 2021 - $1,167,863) and a deficit of $10,219,488 (March 31, 2021 - $10,143,631) as at June 30, 2021 and will require additional financing to fund its continuing exploration efforts. These conditions indicate the existence of material uncertainties that cast significant doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Although the Company has been successful in raising funds to date, there can be no assurance that adequate funding will be available in the future, or available under terms acceptable to the Company. These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis that assumes the Company will be able to continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. In the event the Company is not able to obtain adequate funding, there is uncertainty as to whether the Company will be able to maintain its property interests. These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not reflect the adjustments to the carrying values of assets and liabilities that would be necessary if the Company were unable to obtain adequate financing. Such adjustments could be material. Changes in future conditions could require material write downs of the carrying values of certain assets.
The unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on August 27, 2021.
Since March 2020, the spread of COVID-19 has severely impacted many local economies around the globe. In many countries, including Canada, organizations and businesses are being forced to cease or limit operations for long or indefinite periods of time. Measures taken to contain the spread of the virus, including travel bans, quarantines, social distancing, and closures of non-essential services have triggered significant disruptions to organizations worldwide, resulting in an economic slowdown. Global stock markets have also experienced great volatility and a significant weakening. Governments and central banks have responded with monetary and fiscal interventions to stabilize economic conditions. Management believes COVID-19 has had no material impact on the Company.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION
Statement of Compliance:
These unaudited condensed interim consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements required by International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") and interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee ("IFRIC").
The accounting policies applied in these unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements are based on IFRS issued and outstanding as at August 27, 2021, the date the Board of Directors approved these unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements for issue. The same accounting policies and methods of computation are followed in these unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements as compared with the most recent annual financial statements as at and for the year ended March 31, 2021. Any subsequent changes to IFRS that are issued and effective as at March 31, 2022 could result in a restatement of these unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Certain pronouncements were issued by the IASB or the IFRIC that are mandatory for accounting periods on or after April 1, 2022 or later periods. Many are not applicable or do not have a significant impact to the Company and have been excluded. The following has not yet been adopted and is being evaluated to determine their impact on the Company.
IFRS 10 – Consolidated Financial Statements (“IFRS 10”) and IAS 28 – Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures (“IAS 28”) were amended in September 2014 to address a conflict between the requirements of IAS 28 and IFRS 10 and clarify that in a transaction involving an associate or joint venture, the extent of gain or loss recognition depends on whether the assets sold or contributed constitute a business. The effective date of these amendments is yet to be determined, however early adoption is permitted.
IAS 1 – Presentation of Financial Statements (“IAS 1”) was amended in January 2020 to provide a more general approach to the classification of liabilities under IAS 1 based on the contractual arrangements in place at the reporting date. The amendments clarify that the classification of liabilities as current or noncurrent is based solely on a company’s right to defer settlement at the reporting date. The right needs to be unconditional and must have substance. The amendments also clarify that the transfer of a company’s own equity instruments is regarded as settlement of a liability, unless it results from the exercise of a conversion option meeting the definition of an equity instrument. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on January 1, 2023.

7. PROVISION FOR CLOSURE AND RECLAMATION
The Company has provided a letter of credit in the amount of $75,000 to the Government of Manitoba under the terms of the closure plan on the PL Property (see Note 3). The Company further provided all assets, goods and personal property involved in the operation of the PL Property, as a security of up to $5,000,000 for the performance of the closure plan and the rehabilitation program.
The Company's provision for closure and reclamation costs is based on management's estimates of costs to abandon and reclaim mineral properties and facilities as well as an estimate of the future timing of the costs to be incurred. The Company has estimated its total provision for closure and reclamation to be $3,146,663 at June 30, 2021 ($3,089,986 - March 31, 2021), based on a total future liability of approximately $3,073,000 (March 31, 2021 - $3,073,000), an inflation rate of 1.18% (March 31, 2021 - 1.17%) and a discount rate of 1.39% (March 31, 2021 - 1.55%). Reclamation is expected to occur in approximately 10 years.
The following is an analysis of the provision for closure and reclamation:
| Balance, March 31, 2021 | $ | 3,089,986 |
|---|---|---|
| Effect of changes in the inflation and discount rate | 45,927 | |
| Accretion incurred in theperiod | 10,750 | |
| Balance, June 30, 2021 | $ | 3,146,663 |
During the three months ended June 30, 2021, the Company expensed $10,750 as accretion, which was recorded in finance cost on the consolidated statements of operations (three months ended June 30, 2020 -$4,389).
