Mirasol Resources Ltd.

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements For the Three Months Ended September 30, 2020 (Expressed in Canadian Funds, except where indicated)

1. Nature of Business

Mirasol Resources Ltd. (“Mirasol” or the “Company”) is incorporated under the laws of the Province of British Columbia, Canada. The Company’s corporate registered and records office is located at 400 – 725 Granville Street, Vancouver, British Columbia and the head office is located at 1150-355 Burrard Street, Vancouver, British Columbia.

Mirasol engages in the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties, principally located in Chile and Argentina, with the objective of identifying mineralized deposits economically worthy of subsequent development, mining or sale.

The business of mining and exploration involves a high degree of risk and there can be no assurance that current exploration programs will result in profitable mining operations. The Company has no source of revenue and has significant cash requirements to meet its administrative overhead and maintain its exploration and evaluation assets. The recovery of the Company’s exploration and evaluation assets is dependent on the discovery of economically recoverable reserves, the ability of the Company to obtain the necessary financing to complete the development of these properties, and future profitable production or proceeds from disposition of exploration and evaluation assets. While the Company has been successful in the past with its financing efforts, there can be no assurance that it will be able to do so in the future.

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 results of the outbreak and its effects on the Company’s business or results of operations at this time.

Management estimates that the Company has sufficient working capital to maintain its operations and activities for at least the next twelve months.

2. Basis of Presentation

Statement of compliance

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”). These condensed consolidated interim financial statements were prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34 Interim Financial Reporting . They do not include all of the information required for full annual financial statements. These condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2020.

The Board of Directors approved the condensed consolidated interim financial statements on November 27[th] , 2020.

Basis of measurement

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

Mirasol Resources Ltd.

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements For the Three Months Ended September 30, 2020 (Expressed in Canadian Funds, except where indicated)

Significant Accounting Estimates and Judgments

The preparation of financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, profit 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.

In preparing these condensed consolidated interim financial statements, the significant judgments made by management in applying the Company’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those applied to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2020.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements and Adoptions

Definition of a business (Amendments to IFRS 3)

The IASB has issued Definition of a Business (Amendments to IFRS 3) to clarify the definition of a business for the purpose of determining whether a transaction should be accounted for as an asset acquisition or a business combination. The amendments:

  • (i) Clarify the minimum attributes that the acquired assets and activities must have to be considered a business;

  • (ii) Remove the assessment of whether market participants can acquire the business and replace missing inputs or processes to enable them to continue to produce outputs;

  • (iii) Narrow the definition of a business and the definition of outputs; and

  • (iv) Add an optional concentration test that allows a simplified assessment of whether an acquired set of activities and assets is not a business.

This amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2020. The Company does not expect the adoption of this new amendment to have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.

New accounting standards issued but not yet in effect

Classification of liabilities as current or non-current (Amendments to IAS 1)

The IASB has published Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-Current (Amendments to IAS 1) which clarified the guidance on whether a liability should be classified as either current or non-current. The amendments:

  • (i) Clarify that the classification of liabilities as current or non-current should only be based on rights that are in place “at the end of the reporting period”;

  • (ii) Clarify that classification is unaffected by expectations about whether an entity will exercise its right to defer settlement of a liability; and

  • (iii) Make clear that settlement includes transfers to the counterparty of cash, equity instruments, other assets or services that result in extinguishment of the liability.

This amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2022. Earlier application is permitted. The extent of the impact of adoption of this amendment has not yet been determined. There is currently a proposal outstanding that would defer the effective date until January 1, 2023.

Chile

a) Altazor option to joint venture

The Company owns a 100% interest in certain mineral claims located in northern Chile and referred to as the Altazor Gold Project.

On November 7, 2017, the Company signed an exploration and option agreement with Newcrest International Pty Limited (“NCM”) on the Altazor Gold Project whereby NCM has been granted the option to acquire up to an 80% interest in the Altazor Gold Project, exercisable in stages over a nine-year, or shorter, earn-in period.

The agreement required NCM to fund US$1.5 million in exploration expenditures and make a US$100,000 option payment (received) in the first year of the option. The Company served as operator for exploration during the option period in return for 10% management fee. As of July 1, 2018, NCM took over as operator.

NCM can earn up to 51% interest in the project by making a one-time US$500,000 cash payment (received) to the Company at the start of the earn-in period and by spending US$8.5 million in exploration over four years.

NCM can earn in stages up to a 75% interest in the property by delivering a positive preliminary economic assessment (“PEA”) and a bankable feasibility study (“BFS”) (total expenditure capped at US$100 million after the completion of the PEA stage) and by making US$1.3 million cash payments to the Company within the four years after earning the 51% interest.

The Company can retain a participating 25% interest in the project or a 20% funded-to production interest with NCM financing the development costs to production.

On November 12, 2018, NCM exercised its option to enter the farm-in stage of the agreement. NCM is the operator and will be managing all exploration activities at the project. In November 2019, The Company and NCM agreed to extend the first earn-in period for its initial four years to the earlier of five years and the completion of the US$7.5 million in exploration expenditures.

b) Gorbea option to joint venture

The Company owns a 100% interest in certain mineral claims located in northern Chile and referred to as the Gorbea Gold Project.

On January 28, 2019, the Company signed a definitive agreement with Newcrest International Pty Limited (“NCM”), whereby NCM has been granted the option to acquire up to a 75% interest in the Gorbea Gold Project, exercisable in stages over a nine-year, or shorter, earn-in period. The agreement requires NCM to fund US$4 million in exploration expenditures and make a US$100,000 option payment (received) in the 18 months of the option. NCM will be the operator of the exploration program and will receive a 5% management fee.

NCM can earn up to 51% of the interest of the property by making a US$500,000 cash payment to the Company at the start of the earn in period and by spending an additional US$15 million in exploration within the next four years of the agreement with a minimum drilling commitment of 6,000 m to be completed within the first two years.

NCM can then earn in stages up to a 75% interest in the property by delivering a PEA and a BFS (total expenditure capped at US$100 million after the completion of the PEA stage) and by making a cash payment to the Company within four years after earning the 51% interest.

The Company can elect to retain a participating 25% interest in the project or has the right to convert up to 10% equity interest into 2.0% NSR royalty after completion of the BFS stage.
