Consolidated Financial Statements
Years Ended September 30, 2020 and 2019
(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)
Mao & Ying LLP CHARTERED PROFESSIONAL ACCOUNTANTS
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
To the Shareholders of Newmac Resources Inc.
Opinion
We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Newmac Resources Inc. (the “Company”), which comprise the statements of financial position as at September 30, 2020, and the statements of loss and comprehensive loss, changes in equity and cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at September 30, 2020, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs).
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit 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 Consolidated financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the consolidated 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.
Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern
We draw attention to Note 2 in the consolidated financial statements, which describes matters and conditions that indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significate 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. The other information comprises the Management's Discussion and Analysis. Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the consolidated financial statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated 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.

Auditor’s responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's 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 consolidated 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 consolidated 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 auditor's report to the related disclosures in the consolidated 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 auditor's 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 consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated 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 audit.
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 auditor’s report is Linda Zhu.
The consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended September 30, 2019 were audited by another auditor who expressed an unmodified opinion on these consolidated financial statements on January 28, 2020.

NEWMAC RESOURCES INC. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the years ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars)
1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS
Newmac Resources Inc. (the “Company” or “Newmac”) was incorporated under the laws of the province of British Columbia on August 20, 2003 and is involved in the acquisition, exploration and evaluation of mineral properties located in British Columbia, Canada. The Company is traded on the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSX-V”) under the symbol NER.
The head office and principal address are located at Suite 203, 2121 Kingsway, Vancouver, BC, Canada V5N 2T4 and the registered and records office of the Company is located at Suite 407, 1328 West Pender Street, Vancouver, BC, Canada V6E 4T1.
2. BASIS OF PREPARATION AND GOING CONCERN
- a) Statement of Compliance
The consolidated financial statements 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 consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue by the Audit Committee and Board of Directors on March 29, 2021.
b) Basis of Measurement
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis except for financial instruments classified as financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss, which are stated at their fair value. In addition, these consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting.
These consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars.
- c) Going Concern
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which assumes that the Company will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of operations.
The Company has a working capital deficiency of $594,014 and has incurred losses since its inception of $8,096,047 as at September 30, 2020. These factors indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company’s ability to continue its operations and to realize assets at their carrying values is dependent upon management’s plan to raise additional capital through equity markets. However, there is no assurance it will be able to raise funds in the future. These consolidated financial statements do not give effect to any adjustments required to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in other than the normal course of business and at amounts different from those reflected in the accompanying financial statements.

NEWMAC RESOURCES INC. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the years ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars)
3. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS
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.
Significant assumptions about the future and other sources of estimation uncertainty that management has made at the consolidated statement of financial position date, that could result in a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities, in the event that actual results differ from assumptions made, relate to, but are not limited to, the following:
- a) COVID-19 pandemic risk
The Covid-19 pandemic hit the mining sector starting March 2020. BC government imposed strict protocol to prevent the spread of the virus, with social distancing and hygiene requirements. The effects of COVID-19 are evolving and changing, it may potentially have material adverse effects on the Company’s business, operations, liquidity and cashflows.
- b) Mineral properties
Management has determined that exploratory drilling, exploration evaluation, and related costs incurred which have been capitalized have future economic benefits and are economically recoverable. Management uses several criteria in its assessments of economic recoverability and probability of future economic benefits including geologic and metallurgic information, scoping studies, accessible facilities and existing permits.
Management has considered IFRS 6 in assessing whether there are any indications that the Company’s exploration and evaluation assets are impaired and has determined there to be none for the years ended September 30, 2020 and 2019.
- c) Income taxes
Management exercises judgment to determine the extent to which deferred tax assets are recoverable, and can therefore be recognized in the consolidated statements of financial position and comprehensive loss.
- d) Estimated reclamation provisions
The Company’s provision for decommissioning liabilities represents management’s best estimate of the present value of the future cash outflows required to settle estimated reclamation and closure costs at the end of mine’s life. The provision reflects estimates of future costs, inflation, movements in foreign exchange rates and assumptions of risks associated with the future cash outflows, and the applicable risk free interest rates for discounting the future cash outflows. Changes in the above factors can result in a change to the provision recognized by the Company.
Changes to reclamation and closure cost obligations are recorded with a corresponding change to the carrying amounts of related mining properties. Adjustments to the carrying amounts of related mining properties can result in a change to future depletion expense.

3. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS (cont’d…)
e) Going concern assessment
The Company’s ability to continue its operations and to realize assets at their carrying values is dependent upon its ability to fund its existing acquisition and exploration commitments on its exploration and evaluation assets when they come due, which would cease to exist if the Company decides to terminate its commitments, and to cover its operating costs. The Company may be able to generate working capital to fund its operations by the sale of its exploration and evaluation assets or raising additional capital through equity markets. However, there is no assurance it will be able to raise funds in the future. These consolidated financial statements do not give effect to any adjustments required to realize it assets and discharge its liabilities in other than the normal course of business and at amounts different from those reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the parent company, Newmac Resources Inc., and its subsidiaries listed below:
| Newmac Molybdenum Inc. Newma Technology Inc. Newmac Company Limited Newmac (Shenzhen) Co. Ltd. Newma (Guangzhou) Technology Co. Ltd. |

For the years ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 the consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Newmac Molybdenum Inc., Newma Technology Inc. (formerly, Newmac Foods Inc.), which was incorporated on May 28, 2015 under the laws of the Province of British Columbia, Newmac Company Limited which was incorporated on February 16, 2015 under the laws of Hong Kong and those of Newmac (Shenzhen) Co. Ltd (formerly, Bonte Bebe (SZ) Co. Ltd.) which was incorporated on November 12, 2015 under the laws of Shenzen, China, and Newma (Guangzhou) Technology Co. Ltd. which was incorporated on August 14, 2019 under the laws of Guangzhou, China.
The financial statements of the subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases. All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Cash equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of issuance or are readily redeemed into known amounts of cash without significant penalties to be cash equivalents. As at September 30, 2020 and 2019, there are no cash equivalents.

4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d…)
Foreign currencies
The functional currency is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates and has been determined for each entity within the Company. The functional currency for the Company and its subsidiaries Newmac Molybdenum Inc., Newmac Technology Inc. and Newmac Company Limited is the Canadian dollar. The functional currency for the subsidiary Newmac (Shenzhen) Co. Ltd., and Newma (Guangzhou) Technology Co. Ltd. is the Chinese Renminbi. The functional currency determinations were conducted through an analysis of the consideration factors identified in IAS 21, The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates .
The foreign operations have been translated into the Canadian dollar in following matter: assets and liabilities are translated using the exchange rate at period end, and income, expenses and cash flow items are translated using the rate that approximates the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions (i.e. the average rate for the period). All resulting exchange differences are recognized directly in other comprehensive income (loss).
In preparing the financial statements of the individual entities, transactions in currencies other than the entity’s functional currency (foreign currencies) are recorded at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions. At each statement of financial position date, monetary assets and liabilities are translated using the period end foreign exchange rate. Non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated using the historical rate on the date of the transaction. Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are stated at fair value are translated using the historical rate on the date that the fair value was determined. All gains and losses on translation of these foreign currency transactions are included in profit or loss
Exploration and evaluation assets
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 included such costs as material 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.
When a project is deemed to no longer have commercially viable prospects to the Company, mineral property expenditures in respect of that project are deemed to be impaired. As a result, those mineral property expenditures, in excess of estimated recoveries, are written off to the statement of comprehensive loss or income.
The Company assesses mineral properties 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 “mine under construction”. Mineral property assets are also tested for impairment before the assets are transferred to development properties.
As the Company currently has no operational income, any incidental revenues earned in connection with exploration activities including the sale of mineral interests are applied as a reduction to capitalized acquisition and exploration costs.

4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d…)
Exploration tax credits
The Company recognizes exploration tax credit amounts when the Company’s application is approved by the taxation authorities or when the amount to be received can be reasonably estimated and collection is reasonably assured. The amount of the exploration tax credits reduces the Company’s capitalized exploration and evaluation assets.
Decommissioning liabilities
These provisions have been measured based on the Company’s 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. Actual rehabilitation costs will ultimately depend on future market prices for the rehabilitation costs which will reflect the market conditions at the time the rehabilitation costs are actually incurred. The final cost of the currently recognized rehabilitation provisions may be higher or lower than currently provided for.
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. The nature of the rehabilitation activities includes restoration, reclamation and revegetation 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 cost is capitalized by increasing the carrying amount of the related mining 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 which they occur.
Impairment
At each reporting date, the carrying amounts of the Company’s assets are reviewed to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any indication exists, then the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated to determine the extent of the impairment, if any. The recoverable amount of an asset is the higher of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the assets.
An impairment loss is recognized in operations if the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount. For an asset that does not generate independent cash flows, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash generating unit to which the asset belongs. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortization, if no impairment loss had been recognized. An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed.

4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d…)
Equipment
Property and equipment is carried at cost, less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses. Amortization is recognized using the straight line method over their estimated useful lives as follows:
| Equipment | 3 | to 5 years |
|---|---|---|
| Furniture | 5 | years |
| Computer | 2 | to 3 years |
Equipment that is withdrawn from use, or has no reasonable prospect of being recovered through use or sale, is regularly assessed and written off if applicable.
Assets are measured at historical cost less accumulated amortization and impairment losses. Amortization is charged on the straight line basis over the useful lives of these assets. Residual values, amortization methods and useful economic lives are reviewed and adjusted if appropriate, at each reporting date.
Subsequent expenditures relating to an item of equipment are capitalized when it is probable that future economic benefits from the use of the assets will be increased. All other subsequent expenditures are recognized as repairs and maintenance.
Income taxes
Income tax is recognized in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognized directly in equity, in which case it is recognized in equity. Current tax expense is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at year end, adjusted for amendments to tax payable with regards to previous years.
Deferred tax is recorded using the liability method, providing for temporary differences, between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. The following temporary differences are not provided for: goodwill not deductible for tax purposes; the initial recognition of assets or liabilities that affect neither accounting, nor taxable loss; and differences relating to investments in subsidiaries to the extent that they will probably not reverse in the foreseeable future. The amount of deferred tax provided is based on the expected manner of realization or settlement of the carrying amount of assets and liabilities, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the consolidated financial statements date.
A deferred tax asset is recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the asset can be utilized. To the extent that the Company does not consider it is probable that a future tax asset will be recovered, it provides a valuation allowance against that excess.
Additional income taxes that arise from the distribution of dividends are recognized at the same time as the liability to pay the related dividend. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the Company intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.

Share-based payment transactions
The Company may grant stock options to acquire common shares of the Company to directors, officers, employees and consultants. An individual is classified as an employee when the individual is an employee for legal or tax purposes, or provides services similar to those performed by an employee.
Stock options granted to directors, officers and employees are measured at their fair values determined on their grant date, using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, and are recognized as an expense over the vesting periods of the options. Options granted to consultants or other non-employees are measured at the fair value of goods or services received from these parties, or at their Black-Scholes fair values if the fair value of goods or services received cannot be readily measured. A corresponding increase is recorded to equity reserves for share-based compensation recorded.
When stock options are exercised, the cash proceeds along with the amount previously recorded as equity reserves are recorded as share capital. When the right to receive options is forfeited before the options have vested, any expense previously recorded is reversed.
Earnings (Loss) per share
Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income or loss applicable to common shares of the Company by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the relevant period.
Diluted earnings per share is determined by adjusting the earnings or loss attributable to common shareholders and the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the effects of dilutive instruments, which includes stock options and common share purchase warrants, as if their dilutive effect was at the beginning of the period. The calculation of the diluted number of common shares assumes that proceeds received from the exercise of “in-the-money” stock options and common share purchase warrants are used to purchase common shares of the Company at their average market price for the period. In periods that the Company reports a net loss, per share amounts are not presented on a diluted basis as the result would be antidilutive.

4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d…)
Financial instruments
The Company adopted IFRS 9, Financial Instruments (“IFRS 9”). The standard was adopted on a retrospective basis and its implementation had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Financial Assets
Financial assets are measured at fair value on initial recognition of the instrument and classified as financial assets at fair value through profit and loss (“FVTPL”), amortized cost, or fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVTOCI”). The classification depends upon the Company’s business model for managing its financial assets and the contractual terms of the cash flows. Management determines the classification of its financial asset at initial recognition. Subsequent measurement of financial instruments is based on their classification. Financial assets are de-recognized when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire or when the contractual rights to those assets are transferred.
(i) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
A financial asset shall be measured at FVTPL unless it is measured at amortized cost or FVTOCI. Financial assets and liabilities classified at FVTPL are measured at fair value with changes in those fair values recognized in the consolidated statement of loss and comprehensive loss for the year. The Company may however make the irrevocable option to classify particular investments as FVTPL.
(ii) Amortized Cost
Amortized cost are those assets which are held within a business whose objective is to hold financial assets to collect contractual cash flows; and the terms of the financial assets must provide on specified dates cash flows solely through the collection of principal and interest. Financial assets classified at amortized cost are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.
(iii) Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income
FVTOCI assets are those assets which are held within a business whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets; and the contractual terms of the financial assets give rise on specified dates to cash flows solely through the collection of principal and interest.
Impairment on Financial Assets
The Company assesses at each reporting date whether there is any objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired. A financial asset or group of financial assets is deemed to be impaired, if, and only if, there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that has occurred after the initial recognition of the asset and that event has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or the group of financial assets. The Company recognizes a loss allowance for expected credit losses on its financial assets using the simplified approach which permits the use of the lifetime expected loss provision for all amounts receivable. At each reporting date the Company assesses impairment of amounts receivable on a collective basis as its amounts receivable possess shared credit risk characteristics and have been grouped based on days past due. The loss allowance will be based upon the Company’s historical credit loss experience over the expected life of trade receivables and contract assets, adjusted for forward looking estimates. Loss allowances for financial assets measured at amortized cost are deducted from the gross carrying amount of the assets.

Financial instruments (cont’d…)
Financial Liabilities
The Company recognizes a financial liability when it becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. At initial recognition, the Company measures financial liabilities at their fair value plus transaction costs that are directly attributable to their issuance, with the exception of financial liabilities subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss for which transaction costs are immediately recorded in profit or loss. Financial liabilities are classified as either financial liabilities at FVTPL or at amortized cost. The Company determines the classification of its financial liabilities at initial recognition.

Title to mineral properties involves certain inherent risks due to the difficulties of determining the validity of certain claims as well as the potential for problems arising from the frequently ambiguous conveyancing history characteristic of many mineral properties. The Company has investigated title to all of its mineral properties and to the best of its knowledge, titles to all of its properties are in good standing.
Crazy Fox Property, British Columbia
The Company entered into an agreement on September 22, 2005 to acquire a 100% interest in the Crazy Fox Molybdenum-Tungsten Property, located 20 km northwest of Little Fort, British Columbia.

An additional 200,000 shares will be issued to the vendors if and when a positive feasibility study is completed. A 3% net smelter royalty (“NSR”) is reserved for the vendors of which 2% may be purchased at any time for $2,000,000 reducing the NSR to 1%.

12. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT
Fair value
As at September 30, 2020, the Company’s financial instruments are comprised of cash, reclamation bonds, accounts payable, amounts due to related parties and CEBA loan. The carrying values of reclamation bonds, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, amounts due to related parties and CEBA loan approximate their fair values due to the relatively short periods to maturity or on demand nature of these financial instruments. Fair values of financial instruments are classified in a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used to determine fair values. The levels of the fair value hierarchy are 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).
As at September 30, 2020 and 2019, the fair value of cash of the Company was classified as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy and is the sole financial asset recorded at fair value on a recurring basis.
Financial risk factors
The Company has exposure various risks from its use of financial instruments. Management, the Board of Directors and the Audit Committee monitor risk management activities and review the adequacy of such activities.
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of loss associated with a counterparty’s inability to fulfill its payment obligations. Management believes that the credit risk concentration with respect to financial instruments included in cash is remote.
Liquidity risk
The Company’s approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet liabilities when they come due. As at September 30, 2020, the Company had current assets of $41,645 and current liabilities of $635,659 (see Note 2(c)). All of the Company’s financial liabilities are due within one year.
Market risk
Market risk is the risk of loss that may arise from changes in market factors such as interest rates, and commodity and equity prices. These fluctuations may be significant and the Company, as all other companies in its industry, has exposure to these risks.

NEWMAC RESOURCES INC. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the years ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars)
12. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT (cont’d...)
Interest rate risk
The Company has cash balances and no interest-bearing debt. The Company’s current policy is to maintain cash in high credit quality banking institutions and does not believe interest rate risk to be significant.
Price risk
The Company’s ability to raise financing may be impacted by fluctuations in commodity prices. The Company is exposed to price risk with respect to equity prices. Equity price risk is defined as the potential adverse impact on the Company’s earnings due to movements in individual equity prices or general movements in the level of the stock market. The Company closely monitors individual equity movements, and the stock market to determine the appropriate course of action to be taken by the Company.
Foreign currency risk
Currency risk is the risk that the value of financial assets denominated in currencies, other than the functional currency of the Company, will fluctuate due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. All financial instruments are denominated in the functional currency of the Company and its subsidiaries. The Company is not significantly exposed to currency risk as at September 30, 2020 and 2019.
13. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
The Company defines capital that it manages as its shareholders’ equity. It manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it, based on the funds available to the Company, in order to support the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral properties. 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 properties in which the Company currently has an interest are in the exploration stage; as such the Company is dependent upon external financings to fund activities. In order to carry out planned exploration and pay for administrative costs, the Company will spend its existing working capital and will attempt to raise additional funds as needed.
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’s capital management objectives, policies and processes have not been changed over the year presented. The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.
