Company

The Company was incorporated on October 13, 1999 under the laws of British Columbia. The Company has registered its operations in the Province of Manitoba under the operating name Winnipeg MX Gold. The head office and principal address of the Company is located at 1300 Redonda Street, Winnipeg, MB, R2C 3T7.

The Company’s common shares were approved for listing on the TSX Venture Exchange (the “Exchange”) and commenced trading on October 30, 2009. Effective at Friday, October 25, 2019, the listing of the Company’s common shares was transferred to NEX Board of the Exchange (“NEX”) and its Tier classification was changed from Tier 2 to NEX.

Overview

On January 10, 2018, the British Columbia Securities Commission (“BCSC”) issued a Cease Trade Order against the Company (the “CTO”) as a result of the Company not filing technical reports under National Instrument 43101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects to support first time disclosure of the results of a preliminary economic assessment on its Max Molybdenum property (the “MAX Property”) and to support first time disclosure of mineral reserves on its Magistral property. As a result of the CTO, the Exchange suspended the Company’s common shares from trading on the Exchange on January 11, 2018.

On May 11, 2018, the Company announced that it had entered into a definitive agreement dated May 9, 2018 (the “Magistral Agreement”) whereby, subject to the closing thereof, the Company had agreed to sell its 50% beneficial interest in the Mexican Magistral Project (the “Magistral Project”) for a purchase price of US$4.5 million. The Magistral Agreement was in addition to four other agreements entered into as announced by the Company on April 9, 2018, namely the Reimbursement Agreement related to the Magistral Agreement, the FortyTwo Metals Share Purchase Agreement, the Midas Property Purchase and Sale Agreement, and the Willa Property Purchase, Sale and Assignment Agreement. These five agreements collectively proposed to sell the Company’s entire mining portfolio in an arm’s length transaction to a private company for the aggregate purchase price of approximately $14,952,000.

On July 10, 2018, the Company announced that Magistral Agreement dated May 9, 2018 had been terminated as the buyer was unable to fund the purchase price prior to the deadline stipulated in the definitive agreement. In connection with the termination of the Magistral Agreement, the Company also announced the expiration of the Reimbursement Agreement dated April 5, 2018, the FortyTwo Metals Share Purchase Agreement dated April 5, 2018, the Midas Property Purchase and Sale Agreement dated April 5, 2018, and the Willa Property Purchase, Sale and Assignment Agreement dated April 5, 2018, as each of these agreements were subject to the closing of the Magistral Agreement. Accordingly, each agreement expired according to its respective terms with no further obligations on either party.

On August 24, 2018, the Company announced that it had closed the sale to an arm’s length purchaser 12 mineral claims that comprise the Midas Property (the “Claims”) in British Columbia for cash consideration of $40,000 and the purchaser’s assumption of a net smelter royalty on the Claims. The Company agreed to the sale terms due to the fact that the Claims were to expire shortly after the date of the agreement.

On September 11, 2018, the Company received a complaint dated September 9, 2018 that was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Nevada (the “Complaint”) naming GracePoint Mining Corp., a Nevada corporation (“GracePoint”), as plaintiff, and the Company as one of the defendants. The Complaint alleged breach of contract and breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing and sought, among other things, general damages of US$12 million. The Complaint related to an Initial Purchase Agreement dated October 21, 2016, as amended, among the Company, Gracepoint, American Metal Mining, S.A. de C.V., a Mexican corporation (“AMM”), and Proyecto Magistral, S. de R.L. de C.V., a Mexican corporation (“Projecto Magistral”), whereby the Company agreed to pay US$2.5M to purchase a 50% participating ownership interest and a 45% net profit participating interest under a joint venture with respect to the Magistral Project located in Santa Maria Del Oro, Mexico. Both AMM and Projecto Magistral are affiliates of Gracepoint with Projecto Magistral the registered owner of the Magistral Project. The Company encountered cost overruns and financing difficulties with respect to the Magistral Project. These issues combined with the CTO and receipt of the Complaint resulted in the Company’s decision to enter into a mutual release dated November 24, 2018 among the Company, Gracepoint, AMM and Proyecto Magistral. In addition to a mutual release of all claims, the Company agreed to relinquish its interest in the Magistral Project. The related assets previously classified as held for sale at December 31, 2017 were written-off to $Nil at December 31, 2018.

On September 28, 2018, the Company announced that it had entered into a binding letter of intent dated September 21, 2018 (the “LOI”) with an arm’s length private British Columbia corporation (the “Purchaser”). Under the terms of the LOI, the Company agreed to grant the Purchaser an exclusive 90 day period to finalize and enter into a definite agreement, whereby the Company agrees to sell all the shares in the capital of FortyTwo Metals Inc. (“FortyTwo Metals”), and a 100% interest in the Willa Property consisting of 5,662 hectares located in the Slocan Mining Division, British Columbia, subject to a net smelter return (the “Willa Property”).

In March 2019, the sale of FortyTwo Metals and the Willa Property closed. The net assets related to the subsidiary previously classified as held for sale at December 31, 2017 and sold in March 2019 were written-down to the estimated recoverable amount of $788,000 (including $150,000 in cash and $650,000 in estimated fair value of 5,000,000 common shares of the Purchaser less estimated costs to sell of $12,000), and the Willa Property was written-down to $Nil at December 31, 2018. The $788,000 is the recoverable amount of the net of the $3,491,651 of assets held for sale and the $2,494,965 liabilities held for sale which relates to this asset grouping.

On October 23, 2019, the Company filed an application with the BCSC for a full revocation of the CTO. Effective on Friday, October 25, 2019, the listing of the Company’s common shares was transferred to the NEX and its Tier classification will change from Tier 2 to NEX.

On January 20, 2020, the CTO was revoked by the BCSC. As a condition for the receipt of the revocation order, the Company provided the BCSC with an undertaking to hold its annual shareholders’ meeting within three months of the issuance of the revocation order. The annual shareholders’ meeting was held on April 20, 2020.

On March 12, 2020, the Exchange issued a bulletin announcing the reinstatement of trading of the Company’s common shares on the NEX at market open on Monday, March 16, 2020.

On May 6, 2021 the Company completed the sale of its 50% net profit interest (“NPI”) on gross cash income from the MAX mine and Mill Project to Metallica Metals Corp. (“Metallica”). As consideration for the purchase of the NPI, Metallica paid the Company a cash payment of $425,000 and issued an aggregate of 1,000,000 common shares in the capital of Metallica which are subject to a four month hold period in accordance with applicable securities laws.

Subsequent Events

On October 5, 2022, the Company completed a private placement of 10,000,000 units at $0.05 per unit for gross proceeds of $500,000. Each unit consists of one common share of the Company and one non-transferable common share purchase warrant, entitling the holder to purchase one share at $0.10 for 12 months from the closing date subject to Acceleration Provisions.

Outlook

The Company’s future opportunities are dependent on the capital markets and debt as its source of operating capital and the Company’s capital resources are largely determined by its ability to compete for investor support of its projects

Selected Annual Financial Information

The following is selected financial information about the Company, for its 2021, 2020, and 2019 fiscal years:

Years ended December 31,	2021	2020	2019

The variations are driven by the Company’s decision to change its direction away from exploration and natural resource mining.

The Company completed its final property divestiture, other than the NPI, in early 2019 upon closing the sale of the Willa Property and shares of FortyTwo Metals. Thereafter expenses were mainly limited to general administrative items and revaluation of marketable securities held. In 2021 the Company sold it’s 50% NPI.

Selected Quarterly Financial Information

The selected financial information provided below is derived from the Company’s unaudited quarterly financial statements for each of the last eight quarters:

	Q3-	Q2-	Q1-	Q4-	Q3-	Q2-	Q1-	Q4-
	2022	2022	2022	2021	2021	2021	2021	2020

Loss
Loss per share	0.02	(0.01)	(0.01)	(0.03)	(0.01)	0.04	(0.01)	(0.01)

Given the Company’s shift away from mineral exploration and mining, the historic patterns of expenditures cannot be used as an indication of future expenditures.

Until the Company has identified its future opportunities, expenditures are expected to remain low or decline further. The Company’s future expenses are expected to be related to ongoing compliance and administration.

Liquidity, Capital Resources, and Going Concern

The Company has historically financed its operations primarily from proceeds for the sale of shares.

As at September 30, 2022, the Company had a working deficit of $1,455,303 (December 31, 2021: $1,502,223). The Company does not have any commitments for material capital expenditures however, the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern and to realize the carrying value of its assets and discharge its liabilities when due is dependent on the successful completion of the actions taken or planned, of which some are described above in the Company Overview and Outlook.

The Company requires funds for future opportunities, as well as to meet its current obligations. The revocation of the CTO on January 28, 2020 and reinstatement of trading effective Monday, March 16, 2020 allows the Company to begin exploring equity financing activities. There can be no assurance that financing, whether debt or equity, will be available to the Company in the amount required at any particular time or if available, that it can be obtained on terms satisfactory to the Company. Given this, there is a material uncertainty that may cast doubt upon the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s Financial Statements have been prepared on a going concern basis however, in the event the use of the going concern is not appropriate, material adjustments could be required.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company has not entered into any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Management fees of $10,000 per month are accrued to the Company’s CEO pursuant to the management agreement dated the 9[th] of July 2015. These transactions are in the normal course of operations and have been measured in these financial statements at the exchange amount, which is the amount of consideration established and agreed to by the related parties.

Significant Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires the Company to select accounting principles and to make estimates and assumptions that determine the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and reported costs and expenditures during the reporting period. Management believes that the estimates and assumptions which the Company uses are reasonable based upon information available at the time these estimates and assumptions are made. Estimates and assumptions may be revised as new information is acquired and are subject to change.

In addition to the going concern assumption described within Liquidity, Capital Resources, and Going Concern, management believes that its most significant accounting policies and estimates relate to the following areas. For a comprehensive list of accounting policies, refer to Note 3 Significant Accounting Policies in the Company’s December 31, 2021 audited financial statements.

Marketable Securities

The Company has classified all of its marketable securities as fair value through profit or loss therefore, securities are recorded at fair market value and any associated unrealized gain or loss, are included in the net loss in the year in which they arrive.

Provisions

Provisions for legal or construction obligations are recognized when the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation that has arisen as a result of a past event and it is probable that a future outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, provided that a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Provisions are measured at the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation using a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risk specific to the obligation. The increase in the provision due to passage of time is recognized as interest expense.

Financial Instruments and Risk Management

The Company classifies its fair value measurements in accordance with the three level fair value hierarchies as follows:

Level 1 - quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2 - inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); and

Level 3 - inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

The Company’s financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, accounts payable and due to related parties. The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, accounts payable, and due to related parties approximate their fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments.

The following table summarizes the carrying values of the Company’s financial instruments:

		September 30,	December 31,
		2022	2021
		$	$
Financial	assets at FVTPL(i)	80,156	261,970
Other financial liabilities(ii)		1,550,443	1,175,847
(i)	Cash and cash equivalents, and marketable securities.
(ii)	Accounts payable and due to related parties.

The Company has classified the above noted financial instruments as Level 1.

The risks associated with financial instruments and the policies on how the Company mitigates these risks are discussed below. The following should be read in conjunction with Note 10 of the September 30, 2022 financial statements:

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities are subject to credit risk for a maximum of the amounts shown on the statements of financial position. The Company limits its exposure to credit risk on cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities by depositing only with reputable financial institutions.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company's objective to managing liquidity risk is to ensure that it has sufficient liquidity available to meet its liabilities when due. The Company uses cash to settle its financial obligations as they fall due. The ability to do this relies on the Company maintaining sufficient cash on hand through debt or equity financing.

As at September 30, 2022, the company does not have sufficient current assets $80,156 to settle its current liabilities ($1,550,443). The Company requires funds to meet its current obligations and intends to explore equity financing options.

Shares, Options and Warrants

The Company’s issued and outstanding shares, options, and warrants is as follows:

	Nov 29, 2022	September 30, 2022	December 31, 2020
Common shares issued and outstanding	24,272,362	14,272,362	14,272,362
Options outstanding(i)	-	-	250,000
Warrants outstanding(ii)	11,459,667	3,459,667	3,459,667

(i) 11,459,667 warrants each of which entitles the holder thereof to acquire one common share at an exercise price ranging from $0.10 - $3.00 per warrant.

A detailed summary of the Company’s share capital can be found in Note 8 of the accompanying financial statements.

Private placements

During the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and the year ended December 31, 2021, there were no private placements completed by the Company.

Risk Factors

There are inherent risks related to the business of the Company, some of which are beyond its control. Shareholders must rely on the ability, expertise, judgment, discretion, integrity and good faith of the management of the Company.

The following is a summary of risks and uncertainties that management believes to be material to the Company’s business and therefore the value of the common shares. It is possible that other risks and uncertainties that affect the business of the Company will arise or become material from time to time.

Insufficient Capital

The Company does not currently have any revenue producing operations and may, from time to time, report a working capital deficit. To maintain its activities, the Company will require additional funds which may be obtained either by the sale of equity capital or by entering into an option or joint venture agreement with a third party providing such funding. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in obtaining such additional financing.

Lack of Operating Cash Flow

The Company currently has no source of operating cash flow and is expected to continue to do so for the foreseeable future. The Company’s failure to achieve profitability and positive operating cash flows could have a material adverse effect on its financial condition and results of operations. If the Company sustains losses over an extended period of time, it may be unable to continue its business. It may be several years before the Company may generate any revenues from operations, if at all. There can be no assurance that the Company will realize revenue or achieve profitability.

Additional Funding Requirements

The further development of the Company’s business and operations will require substantial additional capital. When such additional capital is required, the Company will need to pursue various financing transactions or arrangements, including debt financing, equity financing or other means. Additional financing may not be available when needed or, if available, the terms of such financing might not be favorable to the Company and might involve substantial dilution to existing shareholders. The Company may not be successful in locating suitable financing transactions in the time period required or at all. A failure to raise capital when needed would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

Additionally, any future issuance of securities to raise required capital will likely be dilutive to existing shareholders. In addition, debt and other debt financing may involve a pledge of assets and may be senior to interests of equity holders. The Company may incur substantial costs in pursuing future capital requirements, including investment banking fees, legal fees, accounting fees, securities law compliance fees, printing and distribution expenses and other costs. The ability to obtain needed financing may be impaired by a number of factors outside the Company’s control.

Dilution

Shares, including rights, warrants, special warrants, subscription receipts and other securities to purchase, to convert into, or to exchange into common shares, may be created, issued, sold and delivered on such terms and conditions and at such times as the Board may determine. In addition, the Company may issue additional common shares from time to time pursuant to common shares purchase warrants and the options to purchase common shares issued from time to time by the Board. The issuance of these common shares could result in dilution to holders of common shares.

Volatility of the Common Shares

The share price of publicly traded smaller companies can be highly volatile. The value of the common shares may go down as well as up and, in particular, the share price may be subject to sudden and large falls in value given the restricted marketability of the common shares.

Reliance on Management

The Company is relying solely on the past business success of its directors and officers. The success of the Company is dependent upon the efforts and abilities of its directors, officers and employees. The loss of any of its directors, officers or employees could have a material adverse effect upon the business and prospects of the Company.

Current Market Volatility

The securities markets in the United States and Canada have recently experienced a high level of price and volume volatility, and the market prices of securities of many companies have experienced wide fluctuations in price which have not necessarily been related to the operating performance, underlying asset values or prospects of such companies. There can be no assurance that continual fluctuations in price will not occur. It may be anticipated that any market for the common shares will be subject to market trends generally, notwithstanding any potential success of the Company. The value of the common shares distributed hereunder will be affected by such volatility.

COVID-19 Coronavirus Outbreak

The current global uncertainty with respect to the spread of COVID-19, the rapidly evolving nature of the pandemic and local and international developments related thereto, including its effect on the broader global economy and capital markets, may have a negative effect on the Company and its operations. While the precise impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on the Company remains unknown, rapid spread of COVID-19 and declaration of the outbreak as a global pandemic has resulted in travel advisories and restrictions, certain restrictions on business operations, social distancing precautions and restrictions on group gatherings which are having both direct and indirect impacts on businesses in Canada and around the world and could result in certain disruptions to the business and operations of the Company as well as a diversion of management attention which, in turn, could have a material adverse effect on the Company generally. The spread of COVID-19 may also have a material adverse effect on global economic activity and could result in volatility and disruption to global supply chains and the financial and capital markets, which could affect the business, financial condition, results of operations and other factors relevant to the Company, including its ability to raise additional financing. While the potential economic impact brought by, and the duration of, COVID-19 may be difficult to assess or predict, a widespread pandemic could result in significant disruption of global financial markets, reducing the Company’s ability to access capital, which could in the future negatively affect the Company’s liquidity. In addition, a recession or market correction resulting from the spread of COVID-19 could materially affect the Company’s business and the value of the Company’s securities.
