New Destiny Mining Corp. Notes to Condensed Interim Financial Statements For the Six Months Ended December 31, 2020 (Expressed in Canadian Dollar) (Unaudited)
NOTE 1 – NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND ABILITY TO CONTINUE AS A GOING CONCERN
New Destiny Mining Corp. (the “Company”) was incorporated on September 9, 2009 under the Business Corporations Act of British Columbia. The Company is a junior mineral exploration company engaged in the business of acquiring, exploring, and evaluating mineral properties. Its common shares are listed on the TSX Venture Exchange and trade under the symbol of NED. The address of the Company’s corporate office and its principal place of business is 888 Dunsmuir Street, Suite 888, Vancouver, BC, V6C 3K4.
The Company is currently focusing its financial resources on identifying viable exploration projects. The Company has not yet determined whether these properties contain reserves that are economically recoverable. The recoverability of amounts shown for exploration and evaluation assets are dependent upon the discovery of economically recoverable mineral reserves, confirmation of the Company’s interest in the underlying mineral claims, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing to complete the development of those mineral reserves, and upon future profitable production or proceeds from the disposition thereof.
These financial statements have been prepared using International Financial Reporting Standards applicable to a going concern, 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 ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on its ability to obtain additional equity financing and achieve profitable operations. The Company has sustained losses from operations and has an ongoing requirement for capital investment to acquire and explore its mineral properties.
As at December 31, 2020, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $4,291,410 and a working capital deficiency (excess of current liabilities over current assets) of $520,718. The Company expects to seek additional equity financing to accomplish its business plan over the next several years. While the Company believes these funds will be sufficient to meet its planned exploration expenditures and corporate administration costs in the next 12 months, there remains material uncertainty on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern should it not be able to raise additional funds to carry out its business plan beyond next year. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amounts and classification of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in existence.
NOTE 2 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
a) Statement of Compliance
The interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance to IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting using accounting policies consistent with the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRSs”) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and Interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”).
These unaudited financial statements were approved and authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on February 26, 2021.
b) Basis of Presentation
The interim financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for financial instruments classified as financial instruments at fair value through profit and loss which are stated at their fair value. These interim financial statements do not include all the information required for full annual financial statements. The interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2020. The accounting policies, methods of computation and presentation applied in these financial statements are consistent with those of the previous financial year.

NOTE 3 – NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARD ISSUED
Several new accounting standards, amendments to standards, and interpretations have been issued but not yet effective up to the date of issuance of the Company’s financial statements. The Company intends to adopt the following standards when they become effective.
IFRS 16 – Leases
IFRS 16 provides a single lessee accounting model, requiring the recognition of assets and liabilities for all leases, unless the lease term is 12 months or less or the underlying asset has a low value. Lessor accounting remains largely unchanged from IAS 17 “Leases”, and the distinction between operating and finance leases is retained. The standard is effective for annual period beginning on or after January 1, 2019. The Company has determined there is no impact of this standard on its financial statements.
NOTE 4 – EXPLORATION AND EVALUATION ASSETS
The Company records its expenditures related to the acquisition, exploration, and development of mineral properties in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred. Cumulative acquisition and exploration costs incurred by the Company to December 31, 2020 on its mineral property are summarized below.
Treasure Mountain Property, British Columbia, Canada
| Balance, June 30, 2019 Acquisition Costs Exploration Costs and Exploration Advances Paid Balance, December 31, 2019 Balance, June 30, 2020 Acquisition Costs Exploration Costs Balance, December 31, 2020 |

Treasure Mountain Property, British Columbia, Canada
On November 30, 2016, the Company entered into an option agreement with Ximen Mining Corp. (“Ximen”) to acquire 100% interest in mineral claims of the Treasure Mountain Property. Upon signing of the Agreement, and to earn an undivided 100% interest in the property, the Company is required to make cash payments (and/or issue number of common shares equivalent to) totalling $400,000, issue an aggregate of 500,000 common shares, and incur exploration expenditures on the property as follows:

Exploration Expenditures:

Ximen will retain a 2.5% net smelter return royalty (the “NSR Royalty”) which the Company may buy down 1% of the NSR Royalty by paying $1,000,000 to Ximen. Upon the completion of the sale of the property, Ximen will have a right for nine months thereafter to elect to form a joint venture with the Company by paying to the Company the amount of money equal to 30% of the total amount expended on the Property by the Company. If Ximen exercises this joint-venture right, Ximen and the Company will enter into a joint venture for the exploration and development of the property.
The option agreement received final approval for the TSX Venture November 9, 2017.
Ximen Mining Corp. has a common director and officer of the Company.

NOTE 7 – CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
The Company manages its capital structure and adjusts, based on the funds available to the Company, in order to support the acquisition, exploration, and development of mineral properties. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may attempt to issue common shares or dispose of assets. The Board of Directors does not establish quantitative return on capital criteria for management, but rather relies on the expertise of the Company’s management to sustain future development of the business.
The Company manages its share capital as capital, which as at December 31, 2020, was $3,752,394 (June 30, 2020 – $3,683,144). Management reviews its capital management approach on an ongoing basis and believes that this approach, given the relative size of the Company, is reasonable.
The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements. There were no changes in the Company’s approach to capital management during the period ended December 31, 2020.

NOTE 8 – FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The fair value of the Company’s accounts payable and accrued liabilities and amounts due to related parties approximate their carrying value, which is the amount recorded on the statements of financial position. The Company’s cash under the fair value hierarchy is recorded at fair value based on level one quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
The Company’s risk exposures and the impact on the Company’s financial instruments are summarized below:
a) Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk of loss associated with a counterparty’s inability to fulfill its payment obligations. The Company’s credit risk is primarily attributable to its liquid financial assets including cash. Management believes that its credit risk is not significant.
b) Liquidity Risk
The Company’s approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure that it will have enough liquidity to meet liabilities when due. As at December 31, 2020, the Company had a cash balance of $20,056 to settle current liabilities of $543,875. All the Company’s financial liabilities have contractual maturities of less than 30 days and are subject to normal trade terms. Management expects to fund those liabilities through equity financing and loans from related parties over the coming year.
c) 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 amounts due to related parties are non-interest bearing, and as such, the Company is not exposed to significant interest rate risk.
d) Foreign Currency Risk
The Company is exposed to foreign currency risk on fluctuations related to cash and accounts payable and accrued liabilities that are denominated in U.S. Dollars. The Company’s financial instruments denoted in U.S. Dollars are insignificant and any fluctuation in foreign currency exchange rates would have no significant impact.
e) Commodity Price Risk
The Company is subject to price risk from fluctuations in the market prices of commodities as it relates to the possible underlying values of its commodity based mineral properties and the corresponding ability to raise funds for future operations. Management closely monitors commodity prices to determine the appropriate course of actions to be taken in its investing and financing activities. As the Company has not yet developed commercial mineral interests, it is not exposed to significant commodity price risk.
NOTE 9 – CORONAVIRUS (COVID-19) PANDEMIC
The outbreak of the COVID-19 virus and the worldwide pandemic has impacted the Company’s plans and activities. The Company may face disruption to operations, supply chain delays, travel and trade restrictions, and impacts on economic activity in affected countries or regions can be expected and are difficult to quantify. Regional disease outbreaks and pandemics represent a serious threat to hiring and maintaining a skilled workforce and could be a major health-care challenge for the Company. There can be no assurance that the Company’s personnel will not be impacted by these regional disease outbreaks and pandemics and ultimately that the Company would see its workforce productivity reduced or incur increased medical costs and insurance premiums as a result of these health risks.
In addition, the pandemic has created a dramatic slowdown in the global economy. The duration of the outbreak and the resulting travel restrictions, social distancing recommendations, government response actions, business disruptions and business closures may have an impact on the Company’s exploration operations and access to capital. There can be no assurance that the Company will not be impacted by adverse consequences that may be brought about by the pandemic’s impact on global industrial and financial markets which may reduce metal prices, share prices and financial liquidity thereby severely limiting access to essential capital.
