INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
To the Shareholders and Directors of Mountain Boy Minerals Ltd.
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Mountain Boy Minerals Ltd. (the “Company”) which comprise the statements of financial position as at November 30, 2020 and 2019, and the statements of comprehensive loss, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.
In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at November 30, 2020 and 2019, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audits in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audits of the financial statements in Canada, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Emphasis of Matter - Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern
We draw attention to Note 2(c) of the accompanying financial statements, which describe matters and conditions that indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
Other Information
Management is responsible for the other information, which comprises the information included in the Company’s Management Discussion & Analysis to be filed with the relevant Canadian securities commissions.
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of
assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audits of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information identified above and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed on this other information, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact in the auditors’ report. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.
==> picture [456 x 82] intentionally omitted <==
Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
-
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
-
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
-
Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors’ report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors’ report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audits.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
The engagement partner on the audit resulting in this independent auditors’ report is Paul Joseph Leedham.

Mountain Boy Minerals Ltd. Notes to the Financial Statements For the years ended November 30, 2020 and 2019 (Expressed in Canadian dollars)
1. Corporate Information
Mountain Boy Minerals Ltd. (the “Company”) is an exploration stage company incorporated on April 26, 1999, under the laws of the Province of British Columbia, Canada. Its principal business activity is the acquisition, exploration and evaluation of mineral properties located in the Province of British Columbia, Canada. The Company’s common shares are traded on the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSXV”) under the symbol “MTB”.
The Company’s head office is 410-325 Howe Street, Vancouver, BC V6C 1Z7.
2. Basis of Preparation
a) Statement of Compliance
The 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”).
b) Basis of Measurement
These financial statements have been prepared using the historical cost basis except for financial instruments that have been measured at fair value.
The financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, which is the Company’s functional currency and presentation currency.
The preparation of financial statements in compliance with IFRS requires management to make certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgement in applying the Company’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement of complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements are disclosed in Note 4.
c) Going Concern
At November 30, 2020, the Company has not generated revenue or cash flow from operations and has an accumulated deficit of $17,415,956 and expects to incur further losses in the exploration and evaluation of its mineral properties. These 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. The Company has not yet determined whether its mineral properties contain economically recoverable reserves. The recoverability of the amounts shown for exploration and evaluation assets is dependent upon the confirmation of economically recoverable reserves, the Company’s ability to obtain adequate financing to develop the reserves, and its ability to commence profitable operations in the future. These conditions form a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
To date, the Company has been able to fund its operations and its mineral property exploration programs through equity financings and the sale of a non-core asset. The continued volatility in the equity markets may make it difficult to raise capital through the private placement of shares. The junior mining industry is considered speculative in nature which could make it more difficult to fund. While the Company is using its best efforts to achieve its business plans by examining various financing alternatives, there is no assurance that the Company will be successful with its financing ventures.

Mountain Boy Minerals Ltd. Notes to the Financial Statements For the years ended November 30, 2020 and 2019 (Expressed in Canadian dollars)
2. Basis of Preparation – (continued)
c) Going Concern (continued)
These 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 as a going concern.
In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared a global pandemic known as COVID-19. The impact on global commerce continues to be far reaching. Material uncertainties may come into existence that could influence management’s going concern assumption. The duration and impact of the COVID-19 outbreak is unknown at this time and it is not possible to reliably estimate the length and severity of these developments and the impact on the financial results and condition of the Company. The Company continues to closely evaluate the impact of COVID-19 on its operations.
3. Significant Accounting Policies
These financial statements have, in management’s opinion, been properly and consistently prepared within reasonable limits of materiality and within the framework of the significant accounting policies summarized below:
a) Mineral Exploration and Evaluation Expenditures
Pre-exploration Costs
Pre-exploration costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.
Exploration and Evaluation Expenditures
Once the legal right to explore a property has been acquired, costs directly related to exploration and evaluation expenditures are recognized and capitalized, in addition to the acquisition costs. These direct expenditures include such costs as materials used, surveying costs, drilling costs, payments made to contractors and depreciation on plant and equipment during the exploration phase. Costs not directly attributable to exploration and evaluation activities, including general administrative overhead costs, are expensed in the period in which they occur.
The Company may occasionally enter into farm-out arrangements, whereby the Company will transfer part of a mineral interest, as consideration, for an agreement by the transferee to meet certain exploration and evaluation expenditures which would have otherwise been undertaken by the Company. The Company does not record any expenditures made by the farmee on its behalf. Any cash consideration received from the agreement is credited against the costs previously capitalized to the mineral interest given up by the Company, with any excess cash accounted for as a gain on disposal.
When a project is deemed to no longer have commercially viable prospects to the Company, exploration and evaluation expenditures in respect of that project are deemed to be impaired. As a result, those exploration and evaluation expenditure costs, in excess of estimated recoveries, are written off to the statement of comprehensive loss.
The Company assesses exploration and evaluation assets for impairment when facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount of an asset may exceed its recoverable amount.
Once the technical feasibility and commercial viability of extracting the mineral resource has been determined, the property is considered to be a mine under development and is classified as “mines under construction”. Exploration and evaluation assets are also tested for impairment before the assets are transferred to development properties.

Mountain Boy Minerals Ltd. Notes to the Financial Statements For the years ended November 30, 2020 and 2019 (Expressed in Canadian dollars)
- Significant Accounting Policies – (continued)
a) Mineral Exploration and Evaluation Expenditures (continued)
As the Company currently has no operational income, any incidental revenues earned in connection with exploration activities are applied as a reduction to capitalized exploration costs.
Mineral exploration and evaluation expenditures are classified as intangible assets.
b) Impairment of Non-Financial Assets
Impairment tests on intangible assets with indefinite useful economic lives are undertaken annually at the financial year-end. Other non-financial assets, including exploration and evaluation assets are subject to impairment tests whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. Where the carrying value of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the higher of value in use and fair value less costs to sell, the asset is written down accordingly.
Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the impairment test is carried out on the asset's cash-generating unit, which is the lowest group of assets in which the asset belongs for which there are separately identifiable cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets. The Company has one cash-generating unit for which impairment testing is performed.
An impairment loss is charged to the profit or loss, except to the extent they reverse gains previously recognized in other comprehensive loss.
c) Financial Instruments
IFRS 9 – Financial Instruments uses a single approach to determine whether a financial asset is classified and measured at amortized cost or fair value. The classification and measurement of financial assets is based on the Company's business models for managing its financial assets and whether the contractual cash flows represent solely payments for principal and interest.
On initial recognition financial assets are classified as measured at:
-
i. Amortized cost;
-
ii. Fair value through profit and loss (“FVTPL”); or
-
iii. Fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVOCI”)
Financial assets are not reclassified subsequent to their initial recognition unless the Company changes its business model for managing financial assets in which case all affected financial assets are reclassified on the first day of the first reporting period following the change in the business model.
Debt and equity instruments are classified as either financial liabilities or as equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangement. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued by the group entities are recorded at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.
On initial recognition financial liabilities are classified as measured at:
-
i. Amortized cost; or
-
ii. Fair value through profit and loss (“FVTPL”)

d) Provisions
Rehabilitation Provision
The Company is subject to various government laws and regulations relating to environmental disturbances caused by exploration and evaluation activities. The Company records the present value of the estimated costs of legal and constructive obligations required to restore the exploration sites in the period in which the obligation is incurred. Rehabilitation activities include restoration, reclamation and re-vegetation of the affected exploration sites.
The rehabilitation provision generally arises when the environmental disturbance is subject to government laws and regulations. When the liability is recognized, the present value of the estimated costs is capitalized by increasing the carrying amount of the related assets. Over time, the discounted liability is increased for the changes in present value based on current market discount rates and liability specific risks.
Additional environment disturbances or changes in rehabilitation costs will be recognized as additions to the corresponding assets and rehabilitation liability in the period in which they occur. At November 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company did not have any rehabilitation provisions.
Other Provisions
Provisions are recognized for liabilities of uncertain timing or amount that have arisen as a result of past transactions, including legal or constructive obligations. The provision is measured at the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the obligation at the reporting date.
e) Income Taxes
Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Current tax and deferred tax are recognized in net income except to the extent that it relates to a business combination, or items recognized directly in equity or in other comprehensive loss.
Current income taxes are recognized for the estimated income taxes payable or receivable on taxable income or loss for the current year and any adjustment to income taxes payable in respect of previous years. Current income taxes are determined using tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the year-end date.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized where the carrying amount of an asset or liability differs from its tax base, except for taxable temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of goodwill and temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction which is not a business combination and at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting or taxable profit or loss.

Mountain Boy Minerals Ltd. Notes to the Financial Statements For the years ended November 30, 2020 and 2019 (Expressed in Canadian dollars)
3. Significant Accounting Policies – (continued)
e) Income Taxes (continued)
Recognition of deferred tax assets for unused tax losses, tax credits and deductible temporary differences is restricted to those instances where it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the deferred tax asset can be utilized. At the end of each reporting period, the Company reassesses unrecognized deferred tax assets. The Company recognizes a previously unrecognized deferred tax asset to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.
f) Cash Equivalents
Cash equivalents comprise short-term money market instruments with an original maturity of three months or less when acquired, which are readily convertible into a known amount of cash.
g) Government Grants
The province of B.C. provides mining exploration tax credits for certain exploration expenditures incurred in B.C. that are recorded as a reduction of the exploration and development costs of the respective exploration and evaluation assets. Until such time that there is significant certainty with regard to collections and assessments, the Company will record any recovered tax credits at the time of receipt. No gain or loss is realized during the exploration stage until all carrying costs of the specific interest have been offset.
h) Share Capital
Financial instruments issued by the Company are classified as equity only to the extent that they do not meet the definition of a financial liability or financial asset. The Company’s common shares are classified as equity instruments.
The fair value of the common shares issued in a private placement unit of shares and warrants is determined to be the more easily measurable component and are valued at their fair value, as determined by the closing quoted price on the issuance date. The remaining proceeds, if any, are allocated to the attached warrants. Any fair value attributed to the warrants is recorded as contributed surplus. If the warrants are issued as share issuance costs, the fair value of agent’s warrants are measured using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and recognized in equity as a deduction from the proceeds.
Costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares are recognized in equity as a deduction from the proceeds. Costs attributable to the listing of existing shares are expensed as incurred.
i) Loss per Common Share
Basic loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss applicable to the common shares by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.
Diluted loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss applicable to the common shares by the sum of the weighted average number of common shares issued and outstanding and all additional common shares that would have been outstanding, if potentially dilutive instruments were converted. When a loss is incurred during the period; basic and diluted loss per share are the same as the exercise of stock options and share purchase warrants is anti-dilutive.

3. Significant Accounting Policies – (continued)
j) Share-based Payments
Where equity-settled share options are awarded to employees, the fair value of the options at the date of grant is charged to the statement of comprehensive loss over the vesting period. Performance vesting conditions are taken into account by adjusting the number of equity instruments expected to vest at each reporting date so that, ultimately, the cumulative amount recognized over the vesting period is based on the number of options that eventually vest. Nonvesting conditions and market vesting conditions are factored into the fair value of the options granted. As long as all other vesting conditions are satisfied, a charge is made irrespective of whether these vesting conditions are satisfied. The cumulative expense is not adjusted for failure to achieve a market vesting condition or where a non-vesting condition is not satisfied.
Where the terms and conditions of options are modified before they vest, the increase in the fair value of the options, measured immediately before and after the modification, is also charged to the statement of comprehensive loss over the remaining vesting period.
Where equity instruments are granted to employees, they are recorded at the fair value of the equity instrument granted at the grant date. The grant date fair value is recognized in comprehensive loss over the vesting period, described as the period during which all the vesting conditions are to be satisfied.
Where equity instruments are granted to non-employees, they are recorded at the fair value of the goods or services received in the statement of comprehensive loss, unless they are related to the issuance of shares. Amounts related to the issuance of shares are recorded as a reduction of share capital.
When the value of goods or services received in exchange for the share-based payment cannot be reliably estimated, the fair value is measured by use of a valuation model. The expected life used in the model is adjusted, based on management’s best estimate, for the effects of nontransferability, exercise restrictions, and behavioural considerations.
All equity-settled share-based payments are reflected in contributed surplus, until exercised. Upon exercise, shares are issued from treasury and the amount reflected in contributed surplus is credited to share capital, adjusted for any consideration paid.
Where a grant of options is cancelled or settled during the vesting period, excluding forfeitures when vesting conditions are not satisfied, the Company immediately accounts for the cancellation as an acceleration of vesting and recognizes the amount that otherwise would have been recognized for services received over the remainder of the vesting period. Any payment made to the employee on the cancellation is accounted for as the repurchase of an equity interest except to the extent the payment exceeds the fair value of the equity instrument granted, measured at the repurchase date. Any such excess is recognized as an expense.
k) Flow-through Shares
The resource expenditure deductions for income tax purposes related to exploration and development activities funded by flow-through share arrangements are renounced to investors in accordance with Canadian tax legislation. On issuance, the premium recorded on the flow-through share, being the difference in price over a common share with no tax attributes, is recognized as a liability. As expenditures are incurred, the liability associated with the renounced tax deductions is recognized through profit and loss with a pro-rata portion of the deferred premium.

3. Significant Accounting Policies – (continued)
l) New accounting standards and interpretations
There was no impact on the Company’s financial statements from the adoption of IFRS 16 – Leases and IFRS 23 – Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments effective December 1, 2019.
Pronouncements that are not applicable or that do not have a significant impact on the Company have not been included in these financial statements. The following standards are those that the Company reasonably expects to have an impact on disclosures, financial position or performance when applied at a future date.
-
IFRS 3 Business Combinations (effective December 1, 2020); and
-
IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements (effective December 1, 2020).
The Company anticipates that the application of the above new and revised standards, amendments and interpretations will have no material impact on its future results and financial position for the year ending November 30, 2021.
4. Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments
The Company makes estimates and assumptions about the future that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities. Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. In the future, actual experience may differ from these estimates and assumptions.
The effect of a change in an accounting estimate is recognized prospectively by including it in comprehensive income in the period of the change, if the change affects that period only; or in the period of the change and future periods, if the change affects both. Information about critical judgments in applying accounting policies that have the most significant risk of causing material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities recognized in the financial statements are discussed below:
a) Exploration and Evaluation Expenditures
The application of the Company’s accounting policy for exploration and evaluation expenditure requires judgment in determining whether it is likely that future economic benefits will flow to the Company, which may be based on assumptions about future events or circumstances. Estimates and assumptions made may change if new information becomes available. If, after expenditure is capitalized, information becomes available suggesting that the recovery of expenditure is unlikely, the amount capitalized is written off in the profit or loss in the period the new information becomes available.
- b) Title to Mineral Properties
Although the Company has taken steps to verify title to mineral properties in which it has an interest, these procedures do not guarantee the Company’s title. Such properties may be subject to prior agreements or transfers and title may be affected by undetected defects.

4. Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments – (continued)
- c) Rehabilitation Provisions
Rehabilitation provisions have been determined to be $Nil based on the Company’s internal estimates. Assumptions, based on the current economic environment, have been made which management believes are a reasonable basis upon which to estimate the future liability. These estimates take into account any material changes to the assumptions that occur when reviewed regularly by management. Estimates are reviewed annually and are based on current regulatory requirements. Significant changes in estimates of contamination, restoration standards and techniques will result in changes to provisions from period to period.
d) Share-Based Payments
The Company uses the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model for valuation of share-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.
- e) Recognition of Deferred Tax Assets and Liabilities
The carrying amounts of deferred tax assets and liabilities are reviewed at the end of each reporting period and recognized only to the extent that it is probable that sufficient taxable income will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax asset to be utilized. Changes in estimates of future taxable income can materially affect the amount of deferred income tax assets and liabilities recognized.
f) Going Concern
Management has applied judgments in the assessment of the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern when preparing its financial statements. Management prepares the financial statements on a going concern basis unless management either intends to liquidate the entity or to cease trading, or has no realistic alternative to do so. In assessing whether the going concern assumption is appropriate, management takes into account all available information about the future, which is at least, but is not limited to, 12 months from the end of the reporting period. Please refer to Note 2(c) for additional information.
5. Marketable Securities
The Company holds shares of a publicly traded company which are measured and presented at the observable market share price as at the date of the statements of financial position. The shares were acquired pursuant to the sale of the Silver Coin property in October 2018.

6. Exploration and Evaluation Assets
a) Barbara (BA) and Surprise Creek Properties
By an agreement dated September 21, 2006, the Company acquired a 50% interest in the Barbara property which consists of ten mineral claims situated in the Skeena Mining Division of British Columbia. The Company was required to complete an 800 metre drill program on the property (completed). The property is subject to a 2% net smelter return royalty to a former director of the Company of which 1% may be purchased for $500,000. During the year ended November 30, 2007, the Company acquired the remaining 50% interest in the property.
On January 28, 2010, the Company entered into an option and joint venture agreement with Great Bear Resources Ltd. (“Great Bear”) which granted Great Bear the option to acquire up to a 70% interest in the Barbara, Stro, Booze and George Copper properties. On April 1, 2010, the Company received TSX-V approval for the agreement and issued 120,000 common shares valued at $1.00 per share as a finder’s fee with respect to this transaction. The agreement gave Great Bear the option to earn an initial 50% interest in the Barbara and George Copper properties by paying $158,000 (paid) and incurring $5,500,000 in exploration expenditures on or before December 31, 2013 (incurred).
The agreement was amended on October 25, 2010 in which Great Bear could earn an additional 20% interest by completing a bankable feasibility study on or before December 31, 2015. Great Bear did not complete a bankable feasibility study by December 31, 2015 and therefore did not execute their option to acquire an additional 20% interest in the properties. In consideration of the amendment, Great Bear included the Surprise Creek Property under the terms of the agreement and the acquisition costs for the Surprise Creek Property were borne entirely by Great Bear, and were applied against the earn-in requirement towards the Barbara Property. The Surprise Creek Property consists of 19 mineral claims situated in the Skeena Mining Division of British Columbia.
On October 18, 2016, the Company and Great Bear amended their agreement and entered into separate joint venture agreements for the Barbara and Surprise Creek Properties. The joint venture agreements set Great Bear as the operator of the Barbara Property and set the Company as the operator of the Surprise Creek Property. Both the Company and Great Bear retain a 50% ownership interest in the Surprise Creek and Barbara Properties.
On June 1, 2017, the Company and Great Bear entered into an additional option agreement in which the Company was granted the option to acquire Great Bear’s 50% interest in the Barbara and Surprise Creek properties by issuing a total of 2,000,000 common shares and paying $1,300,000 to Great Bear in stages between the date of TSX-V acceptance of the agreement and August 20, 2020 as follows:

b) Red Cliff Property
The Company had a 100% interest in the Red Cliff claims which are located in the Skeena Mining Division of British Columbia. The Red Cliff property was subject to a 2% net smelter return royalty (“NSR”) of which 1% may be purchased for $1,000,000.
On November 19, 2008, Decade Resources Ltd. (“Decade”), a public company, with a former director in common with the Company acquired a 60% interest in Red Cliff claims by incurring $1,250,000 in exploration expenditures on the Red Cliff Claims. Decade became the operator of the property.
On October 31, 2011, the Company informed Decade that it could not finance its share of exploration expenditures and therefore would have its interest diluted under the terms of the joint venture agreement. At October 31, 2011, the Company owed Decade $435,785 in exploration expenditures related to its 40% interest in the Red Cliff property. Effective November 1, 2011, the Company agreed to dilute its interest by 5% in lieu of the $435,785 thereby reducing its interest to 35%.
On October 23, 2017, Decade and the Company purchased a 1% NSR in the Red Cliff claims whereby the Company paid $3,500 in cash and issued 34,286 common shares for the Company’s 35% interest in the NSR.
On March 28, 2019, Decade and the Company signed a settlement and amending agreement to settle the amount owed by the Company to Decade (net of the receivable from Decade) up to the date of the agreement being $925,000 and such amount shall be paid on or before June 30, 2019. As a result, the Company recorded a gain on settlement of debt of $172,757 during the year ended November 30, 2019. As of November 30, 2020, the Company had a balance payable to Decade of $nil (November 30, 2019: $50,000) for joint venture exploration costs on Red Cliff which was included in due to joint venture partner and Decade owed $nil (November 30, 2019: $nil) to the Company for the reimbursement of expenses.

10. Financial Instruments
The fair values of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities approximate their carrying amounts because of their current nature.
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.
27
Mountain Boy Minerals Ltd. Notes to the Financial Statements For the years ended November 30, 2020 and 2019 (Expressed in Canadian dollars)
10. Financial Instruments – (continued)
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, reclamation bonds, trade and other payables and due to joint venture partner. Cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities are measured at fair value through profit and loss. Reclamation bonds are measured at amortized cost. Trade and other payables and due to joint venture partner are measured at amortized cost.
The fair value of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities is measured using level one of the fair value hierarchy.
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 below.
Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will cause a financial loss for the other party by failing to discharge an obligation. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents are exposed to credit risk. The Company reduces its credit risk on cash by placing these instruments with institutions of high credit worthiness.
Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents are exposed to interest rate risk.
Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities. The Company’s trade and other payables are all current and due within 90 days of the statement of financial position date. At November 30, 2020, the Company had a working capital surplus of $3,194,186 which will provide sufficient capital to meet its short-term financial obligations.
Market Risk
Market risk is the risk that the fair value of, or future cash flows from, the Company’s financial instruments will significantly fluctuate due to changes in market prices. The sale of financial instruments can be affected by changes in interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and equity prices. The Company is exposed to market risk in trading its investments, and unfavourable markets conditions could result in dispositions of investments at less than favourable prices. The Company’s investments are accounted for at estimated fair values and are sensitive to changes in markets prices, such that changes in market prices results in a proportionate change in the carrying value of the Company’s investments.

11. Income Taxes
The difference between tax expense for the year and the expected income taxes based on the statutory tax rates arises as follows:
| Income (loss) before income taxes Combined statutory tax rate Expected income tax expense (recovery) Permanent and other differences Change in unrecognized deferred tax assets Deferred income tax expense (recovery) |
2020 $ (484,915) 27.00% (131,000) 125,000 63,000 $ 57,000 |
2019 $ (1,679,275) 27.00% (453,000) 120,000 244,000 $ (89,000) |
|---|---|---|
Deferred Tax Assets and Liabilities
No deferred tax asset has been recognized in respect of the following losses and temporary differences as it is not considered probable that sufficient future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax to be recovered:
| Non-capital losses Capital losses Financing costs Exploration and evaluation assets Marketable securities Deferred tax assets - unrecognised Deferred tax liability - recognised |
2020 $ 1,124,000 140,000 42,000 (3,165,000) (34,000) (1,306,000) $ (3,199,000) |
2019 $ 1,016,000 128,000 3,000 (3,142,000) 96,000 (1,243,000) $ (3,142,000) |
|---|---|---|
At November 30, 2020, the Company has estimated non-capital losses for income tax purposes of $4,165,000 that may be carried forward to reduce taxable income in future taxation years.

11. Income Taxes – (continued)
During the year ended November 30, 2020, the Company renounced $260,000 (2019: $nil) of resource expenditures. Expenditures related to the use of flow-through share proceeds are included in exploration costs but are not available as a tax deduction to the Company as the tax benefits of these expenditures are renounced to the investors.
12. Capital Disclosures
The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern to pursue the development of its mineral properties, finance corporate overhead costs, meet obligations as they come due, and to maintain a flexible capital structure which optimizes the cost of capital within a framework at an acceptable risk. In the management of capital, the Company includes the components of shareholders’ equity, as well as cash. The Company has no earning and therefore has historically financed its acquisition and exploration activities and corporate overhead costs by the sale of common shares.
The Company manages the capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. To maintain or adjust its capital structure, the Company may issue new shares, issue new debt, acquire or dispose of assets or adjust the amount of cash. In order to maximize development efforts, the Company does not pay out dividends.
The Company is dependent on the capital markets as its sole source of operating capital and the Company’s capital resources are largely determined by the strength of the junior resources markets and by the status of the Company’s projects in relation to these markets, and its ability to compete for the investor support of its projects. The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.
13. Subsequent Event
On December 22, 2020, the Company announced the acquisition, through staking and purchase, of another highly prospective property in the Golden Triangle – the Theia property. The Company paid $10,000 and 50,000 shares for the Rouge claim, with an NSR of 1.5% retained by the seller. This NSR may be purchased at any time for $1,500,000. The Razzle/Dazzle group was purchased for $12,500. All tenures are now held 100% by the Company.
