1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN

Treasury Metals Inc. (the "Company" or "Treasury Metals") is incorporated under the laws of Ontario and listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol "TML". The address of the Company's registered office is 130 King Street West, Suite 3680, Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The mineral properties of Treasury Metals are all located in Canada and are in the exploration stage and, on the basis of information to date, do not yet have economically recoverable reserves. The recoverability of the amounts shown on the balance sheets for mineral properties and related deferred costs is dependent upon the existence of economically recoverable reserves, maintaining beneficial interest in its properties and the underlying mining claims, obtaining the necessary regulatory approvals and permits, the ability to obtain the necessary financing to fulfill its obligations as they arise, the ability to complete the development of the claims, and achieving profitable production or the proceeds from the disposition of the properties. The Company's success depends on the successful development of the properties and corresponding permitting and feasibility study. Based upon its current operating and financial plans, management of the Company believes that it will have sufficient access to financial resources (debt and equity) to fund the Company's planned operations and development of the Goliath Gold Project.

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that the Company will continue its operations for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The Company has not generated revenue from operations. At September 30, 2020, the Company had a working capital of $7,064,689 (December 31, 2019 – $560,277) excluding the non-cash unrenounced flow–through share premium liability and the non-cash derivative liability. For the period ended September 30, 2020, the Company incurred a net loss of $5,064,661 (2019 - $2,533,029), had cash outflow from operations of $2,241,719 (2019 - $2,603,118) has not yet achieved profitable operations, had accumulated losses of $40,651,170 (December 31, 2019 - $35,586,509) and expects to incur further losses in the development of its business. Should the Company be unable to raise sufficient financing to maintain operations, the Company may be unable to realize the carrying value of its net assets. These uncertainties cast significant doubt upon the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

These interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not reflect the adjustments to carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and the reported expenses and statement of financial position classifications that would be necessary if the going concern assumption was deemed inappropriate. Such adjustments could be material.

Since December 31, 2019, the outbreak of the novel strain of coronavirus, specifically identified as "COVID19", has resulted in governments worldwide enacting emergency measures to combat the spread of the virus. These measures, which include the implementation of travel bans, selfimposed quarantine periods and social distancing, have caused material disruption to businesses globally resulting in an economic slowdown. Global equity markets have experienced significant volatility and weakness. Governments and central banks have reacted with significant monetary and fiscal interventions designed to stabilize economic conditions. The duration and impact of the COVID19 outbreak is unknown at this time, as is the efficacy of the government and central bank interventions. 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 and its operating subsidiaries, or on its ability to raise capital to fund operations, in future periods. While the Company's operations have not been significantly impacted by the COVID19 outbreak, it is not possible to reliably estimate the ongoing effect on the Company's operation.

On October 30, 2020, the Board of Directors approved the interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the periods ended September 30, 2020 and 2019.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Statement of Compliance

These interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting and do not include all the information required for full annual financial statements by International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standard Board ("IASB").

These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 which includes the information necessary or useful to understanding the Company's business and financial statement presentation. In particular, the Company's significant accounting policies are presented as Note 2 in the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019, and have been consistently applied in the preparation of these interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

Principles of Consolidation

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements include all entities over which the Company has control. For accounting purposes, control is established by an investor when it is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. Subsidiaries are fully interim condensed consolidated from the date control is transferred to the Company, and are no longer interim condensed consolidated on the date control ceases.

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned Canadian subsidiaries Goldeye Explorations Ltd., Silvereye Explorations Ltd, Tamaka Gold Corp. and Goldlund Resources Inc.

Intercompany balances and any unrealized gains and losses or income and expenses arising from intercompany transactions are eliminated in preparing the interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

Basis of Preparation

These interim condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars which is also the functional currency of the Company and its wholly owned Canadian subsidiaries.

The financial statements are prepared on the historical cost basis except for financial instruments which are measured at their fair value, as explained in the accounting policies set out in this note.

The accounting policies have been applied consistently to the periods presented in the interim condensed consolidated financial statements and for the year ended December 31, 2019, excepted as noted below; the policies are detailed in Note 2 of the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Reverse Stock Split

On August 11, 2020, the Company effected a 1-for-3 reverse stock split of its common stock. On the effective date of the reverse stock split, (i) each 3 shares of the outstanding common stock were reduced to one share of common stock; (ii) the number of shares of common stock into which each outstanding warrant or option to purchase common stock is exercisable were proportionately reduced on an 3-to-1 basis; and (iii) the exercise price of each outstanding warrant or option to purchase common stock was proportionately increased on a 1-to-3 basis. All of the share numbers, share prices, and exercise prices have been adjusted, on a retroactive basis, to reflect this 1-for-3 reverse stock split. Also, all notes disclosures related to the quantitity or unit value of issued or exercised shares, options and warrants, including loss per share and the input variables to calculate the Black-Scholes valuations have been retroactively adjusted for all periods presented to give effect to this reverse stock split.

Asset Acquisition / Business Combination

In accordance with IFRS 3 - Business Combination, a transaction is recorded as a business combination if the assets acquired and liabilities assumed constitute a business. A business is defined as an integrated set of activities and assets that is capable of being conducted and managed for the purpose of providing goods or services to customers, generating investment income (such as dividends or interest) or generating other income from ordinary activities. Where there are no such integrated activities, the transaction is treated as an asset acquisition. The acquisition of Tamaka Gold Corporation as further described in Note 9 was recorded as an asset acquisition whereby the cost of the net assets acquired was allocated to the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired.

3. ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGMENTS

The preparation of financial statements in compliance with IFRS requires the Company's management to make certain estimates and assumptions that they consider reasonable and realistic. Despite regular reviews of these estimates and assumptions, based in particular on past achievements or anticipations, facts and circumstances may lead to changes in these estimates and assumptions which could impact the reported amount of the Company's assets, liabilities, equity or earnings. The estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of these interim condensed consolidated financial statements are detailed in Note 3 of the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019.

As is described in Note 8, on July 15, 2020, the Company sold to Platinex Inc. the mining claims located in the Shining Tree District and three net smelter royalties. In consideration Platinex issued to Treasury 12,500,000 Consideration Shares and 5,000,000 Consideration Warrants. Each Consideration Warrant entitles Treasury to purchase one common share of Platinex at a price of $0.05 per share for a period of 24 months from the date of issue. If the Consideration Warrants are exercised on or before September 1, 2020, Treasury is entitled to receive an additional non-transferable common share purchase warrant (a "Secondary Warrant") for each Consideration Warrant exercised. Each Secondary Warrant entitles Treasury to purchase one common share of Platinex at a price of $0.20 per share for a period of 24 months from the date of the closing of the transaction. Subsequently, on September 1, 2020, Treasury exercised 3,000,000 Consideration Warrants under such terms receiving 3,000,000 Secondary Warrants. The 2,000,000 of cancelled Secondary Warrants with a fair value of $84,978 were recorded in the net comprehensive loss account.

The Consideration Shares are placed in a voluntary escrow agreement, with 25% (3,125,000 Consideration Shares) to be released on the 12th, 15th, 18th and 24th month anniversaries of the closing of the transaction; accordingly, the shares to be released after the 12th month anniversary are presented as non-current investments. At September 30, 2020, the remaining 2 million Consideration Warrants and 3 million Secondary Warrants were assigned a fair value of $110,503 and $139,338, respectively, using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: share price $0.065, dividend yield 0%, expected volatility, based on historical volatility 204.3%, a risk free interest rate of 0.25% and an expected life of 1.8 years.

Goliath Gold Project

The Goliath Gold Project is located in the Kenora Mining Division in northwestern Ontario, 20 km east of the City of Dryden and 325 km northwest of the port City of Thunder Bay.

The Goliath Gold Project, prior to claim conversion as part of the third phase of the Ontario Ministry of Northern Development and Mines' Mining Act Modernization process, consisted of 126 contiguous unpatented mining claims and 23 patented land parcels. The Company converted 11 mining claims into 3 mining leases during 2016 resulting in the decrease of the mining claims from 137 to 126. Post conversion, the project consists of 240 single cell mining claims and 30 boundary cell mining claims. Patented land and mining leases remain unaffected by the claim conversion process. The total area of the project is approximately 5,049 hectares (~50 km2 ) covering portions of Hartman and Zealand townships. The project comprises three historic properties which are now consolidated into one property: the larger Thunder Lake Property, the Laramide Property transferred in 2007 to the Company from Laramide Resources Ltd. ("Laramide"), and the Brisson Property acquired in 2009. The project area has been expanded from its original size through additional claim staking and land purchases/options. Certain underlying royalties and payment obligations remain on 13 of the 23 patented land parcels totaling approximately $105,000 per year.

On August 19, 2019, the CEAA issued a positive statement for the Goliath Gold Project announcing that proposed Goliath Gold Project may proceed. This decision means that Treasury Metals Inc. can now focus on the remaining technical studies and permitting, and to prepare for a future construction decision.

8. MINERAL PROPERTIES AND RELATED DEFERRED COSTS (Continued)

On October 17, 2018 the Company provided an updated National Instrument 43101 Mineral Resource Estimate on Goliath Gold Project. The 2018 Mineral Resource Estimate is an update to the NI 43101 Mineral Resource Estimate previously released on August 28, 2015.

An updated Preliminary Economic Assessment ("PEA") was completed and the results announced in March 2017.

Laramide Property, Ontario

In 2007, the Company acquired from Laramide Resources Ltd., a related party company, a 100% interest in certain parcels of land, including surface and mineral rights totaling 411 acres in 3 patented land parcels, located in Zealand Township near Dryden, Ontario (collectively the "Laramide Property"). This interest is subject to a 2.0 - 2.5% net smelter returns ("NSR") retained by the owners.

Thunder Lake Property, Ontario

In 2007, the Company and Laramide Resources Ltd. finalized and signed an agreement pursuant to which, Treasury Metals purchased 100% of Corona's and Teck's respective interests in the Thunder Lake West, Thunder Lake East and certain adjacent properties in and around Dryden, Ontario (collectively the "Thunder Lake Property").

Brisson Property, Ontario

In December 2009, the Company acquired a 100% interest in certain parcels of land in the District of Kenora. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company made option payments totaling $100,000 and issued common shares of the Company equal to $100,000 based on the market price at the date of issue.

Lara Polymetallic Project, British Columbia

In 2007, the Company acquired from Laramide Resources Ltd. a 100% interest in the Lara Property located in the Victoria Mining Division, near Chemainus on southern Vancouver Island, British Columbia. The Lara Polymetallic Project comprises 59 mineral claims covering approximately 6,392 hectares (~64 km2 ) at September 30, 2020.

The Company is committed to a 1.0% NSR, held by Argus Metals Corp. (formerly Bluerock Resources Ltd) on 8 of the mineral claims, historically known as the Chemainus claims, located on Vancouver Island.

In early 2011 the annual mining leases on a significant portion of the property were not renewed. As a consequence, the estimated non-recoverable costs associated with this project were written off in 2010. At present, the Company has renewed the mining leases of the most significant areas of this property. The expenditures are mainly related to the property renewals; there was no work done on the property.

Goldeye Explorations

On November 24, 2016, the Company closed the acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Goldeye Explorations Limited ("Goldeye") a public company that holds certain properties.

Goldeye consists of three projects, the Weebigee Project, Sandy Lake, the West Shining Tree Project, Larder Lake Mining Division, Ontario, and the Gold Rock Project, Kenora Mining Division, Ontario. Also included in Goldeye are NSR interests in Sonia-Puma NSR, Region V, Chile; McFaulds Lake NSR, Thunder Bay Mining Division, Ontario; and MacMurchy Township NSR, Larder Lake Mining Division, Ontario.

8. MINERAL PROPERTIES AND RELATED DEFERRED COSTS (Continued)

The principal asset of Goldeye is the Weebigee Project in Northwestern Ontario and all of the consideration paid in the Goldeye's acquisition was allocated to the Weebigee Project. The Company decided not to renew the Van Hise Project claims which expired in July 2017. Van Hise was not considered a strategic nor valuable project at the time of the Goldeye acquisition transaction; therefore, no charge to operations has been recorded by the Company.

Weebigee Project

The Weebigee Project is located near Sandy Lake, north of Red Lake in Northwestern Ontario. The Company holds a 100% interest in the property through its wholly owned subsidiary Goldeye, which comprises 225 claims. Certain claims are subject to a 2% net smelter return ("NSR") that is held by a former director of Goldeye. On November 12, 2013, the Company entered into an exploration agreement with Sandy Lake First Nations ("SLFN") with respect to the Company's exploration of the Weebigee Project. This exploration agreement was renewed for a two-year period on the same terms commencing on November 12, 2014 and again on November 12, 2016 and in November 15, 2018 was renewed for a further one year. A further renewal is being worked out but there is a delay due to COVID 19 outbreak.

On April 15, 2015, Goldeye entered into an option agreement (the "GPM Option Agreement") with GPM Metals Inc. ("GPM") whereby GPM has an option to earn a 50.1% interest in the Weebigee Project by paying a total of $550,000 in cash ($50,000, $100,000, $150,000 and $250,000 received in 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018, respectively) and $25,000 in shares (issued in 2015) to Goldeye over a period of four years. GPM must also complete a minimum of $5,000,000 in exploration expenditures over a four-year term. In addition, if the first option is exercised, GPM will have the option to earn an additional 19.9% interest by either funding a bankable feasibility study, or at GPM's option, paying Goldeye an additional $1,500,000 in cash and completing a minimum additional $3,000,000 in exploration expenditures over the next two years. The GPM Option Agreement is subject to the terms of the exploration agreement signed between Goldeye and GPM on November 12, 2013. In July 2016, GPM sold its interest in the Weebigee property to Sandy Lake Gold Inc. ("SLG").

A number of disputes arose from the GPM Option Agreement: the existence of a force majeure being validly declared; whether or not SLG had met the first year expenditure requirements; and whether Goldeye met the requirements necessary to participate in 50% of certain additional properties staked by SLG. These disputes went through an arbitration process that resulted in a decision that a force majeure event had occurred and, therefore, the first year's expenditure deadline was extended, the first year's expenditure requirement was met, and that Goldeye had not met the conditions to participate in specific additional property purchases. On January 16, 2019, the Arbitration Panel ruled that SLG is entitled to a costs award of $926,960 of which $820,325 was recorded in the interim condensed consolidated statement of operations of the year ended December 31, 2018 and subsequently paid in September 2019. In April 2019, SLG announced it changed its company name to G2 Goldfields Inc. ("G2").

There continue to be issues in dispute under the Option Agreement, including the detail and amount of expenditures incurred by G2 Goldfields, as well as the status of the transfer of additional Interests paid by the Company. G2 Goldfields and the Company are not in agreement as to whether G2 Goldfields is in compliance with the Option Agreement.

During the course of the above-described arbitration, G2 brought a counterclaim against Goldeye for $2,000,000 plus pre-judgment and post-judgment interest and costs on a full indemnity basis for breach of contract, including breach of certain representations, warranties, and covenants. No further steps have been taken by G2 to advance the counterclaim so full discovery has not yet taken place. Accordingly, no amounts have been recorded in the interim condensed consolidated financial statements related to this matter.

8. MINERAL PROPERTIES AND RELATED DEFERRED COSTS (Continued)

Gold Rock Project, Kenora Mining Division, Ontario

The Company's 100% owned Gold Rock Project is located near Dryden, Ontario and comprises two properties, the Gold Rock property, consisting of 20 claims and the Thunder Cloud property consisting of 1 claim. All claims at the Gold Rock Project are in good standing until 2019 or later and the Company has applied for extensions which are delayed due to the COVID 19 outbreak.

Shining Tree Project – Larder Lake Mining Division, Ontario

On July 15, 2020, a mining investment agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") was closed, by which the Company sold to Platinex Inc. the 208 unpatented mining claims located in the Shining Tree District, Northern Ontario (the "Mining Claims") and three net smelter royalties (the "Royalties").

The Mining Claims total approximately 5,045 Ha. (12,466 ac.) and are located adjacent to Platinex's Shining Tree property. The Royalties consist of a 100% interest in three royalty agreements, consisting of (i) a 2% net smelter royalty in respect of the Sonia-Puma Property held by Minera Goldeye Chile Limitada; (ii) a 1% net smelter royalty in respect of nine mineral claims forming part of the McFaulds Lake Project held by AurCrest Resources Inc.; and (iii) a 2% net smelter royalty in respect of 29 mineral claims located in MacMurchy Township, Ontario held by Golden Harp Resources Inc.

In consideration for acquiring the Mining Claims and the Royalties (the "Acquisition"), Platinex issued to Treasury 12,500,000 common shares ("Consideration Shares") and 5,000,000 non-transferable common share purchase warrants ("Consideration Warrants"). Each Consideration Warrant entitles Treasury to purchase one common share of Platinex at a price of $0.05 per share for a period of 24 months from the date of issue. If Treasury exercised the Consideration Warrants on or before September 1, 2020, it would receive an additional non-transferable common share purchase warrant (a "Secondary Warrant") for each Consideration Warrant exercised. Each Secondary Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one common share of Platinex at a price of $0.20 per share for a period of 24 months from the date of the closing of the Acquisition. The Secondary Warrants provide that Treasury shall not exercise the Secondary Warrants if such exercise would result in it owning 20% or more of the issued and outstanding common shares of Platinex.

At July 15, 2020, the fair value of the shares received was $750,000, the Consideration Warrants and Secondary Warrants were assigned a fair value of $253,592 and $212,446, respectively, using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: share price $0.06, dividend yield 0%, expected volatility, based on historical volatility 194%, a risk free interest rate of 0.26% and an expected life of 2 years. The $1,216,038 total fair value of the shares and warrants received was credited to the mineral properties and related deferred costs account.

9. ACQUISITION OF TAMAKA GOLD CORPORATION

On August 7, 2020, the Company closed a share purchase agreement with First Mining Gold Corp. ("First Mining") for the acquisition of all of the shares of Tamaka Gold Corporation ("Tamaka"), a subsidiary of First Mining that owns a 100% interest in the Goldlund Gold Project ("Goldlund Project"), located adjacent to Goliath Gold Project. In accordance with IFRS 3, Business Combinations, this transaction does not meet the definition of a business combination as the assets acquired are not an integrated set of activities with inputs, processes and outputs.

9. ACQUISITION OF TAMAKA GOLD CORPORATION (Continued)

The purchase price of $91,484,276 was allocated to the assets acquired with financial instruments recorded at fair value and other non-financial assets and liabilities. In exchange for all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Tamaka, First Mining received from the Company 43,333,333 common shares and 11,666,667 warrants with an exercise price of $1.50 for a period of 36 months, a 1.5% net smelter returns royalty ("Goldlund Royalty") with the option for the Company to buy-back 0.5% of the Goldlund Royalty for $5.0 million, and a milestone cash payment of $5.0 million, with 50% payable upon receipt of a final and binding mining lease under the Mining Act (Ontario) to extract ore from an open pit mine at Goldlund, and the remaining 50% payable upon the extraction of 300,000 tonnes of ore from a mine at Goldlund. In addition, the Company incurred in $2,317,774 for consulting and legal costs related to the acqusition. There is $13,343,910 of difference between the total consideration over the value of the assets received which was allocated to mineral properties and related deferred costs

17. COMMITMENTS AND CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS AND CONTINGENCIES

  1. Regarding the Goliath Gold Project, the Company is committed to spend $4,266,723 by December 31, 2021 on Canadian exploration expenses ("CEE") as part of its flow-through funding agreements dated on June 6, 2019 and November 21, 2019. At September 30, 2020, the Company has spent $1,419,832. All flowthrough spending commitments from previous flow-through financings have been fulfilled.

  2. Regarding the Goldlund Gold Project, as at September 30, 2020, the Company had $174,000 of unspent flow-through expenditure commitments.

  3. Following an audit commenced by the Canada Revenue Agency (the "CRA") in December 2016 of the flow-through expenditures incurred by the Company in the Goliath Gold Project, pursuant to the flow-through share financings completed on December 6, 2011, September 21, 2012, May 1, 2013, and December 20, 2013, on March 7, 2018 the Company was advised by the CRA that out of the total of $12.5 million the Company raised through the flow-through share financings and renounced to subscribers, that the CRA had reclassified approximately $1.8 million of CEE to operating expenses and a further approximately $2.2 million of CEE to Canadian Development Expenses. In addition, pursuant to the audit, the CRA has notified the Company that it is liable for Part XII.6 tax in the amount of $477,726 in connection with the shortfall from the disallowed CEE.

The Company disputes the CRA's proposed re-characterizations of expenses from CEE to either CDE or operating expenses and has filed a Notice of Objection with the CRA. Due to the uncertainty of the final outcome, no liability has been recorded in the interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

18. FINANCIAL RISK FACTORS

Capital Management

The Company 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 Company considers capital from two perspectives: its working capital position and its capital stock, warrant, and stock option components of its shareholders' equity.

At September 30, 2020, the Company has a working capital of $7,064,689 excluding the non-cash unrenounced flow-through share premium liability and non-cash derivative liability (December 31, 2019 - $560,277); Capital stock and contributed surplus total $210,735,818 (December 31, 2019 - $108,749,116).

18. FINANCIAL RISK FACTORS (Continued)

To effectively manage the Company's capital requirements, the management has in place a rigorous planning, budgeting and forecasting process to help determine the funds required to ensure the Company has the appropriate liquidity to meet its operating and growth objectives. The Company ensures that there are sufficient committed loan facilities and planned future capital raises to meet its short-term business requirements, taking into account its anticipated cash flow from operations and its holding of cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities.

At September 30, 2020, the Company expects its capital resources and projected future cash flows from financing to support its normal operating requirements on an ongoing basis, and planned development and exploration of its mineral properties and other expansionary plans. At September 30, 2020, there were certain externally imposed capital requirements related to the long term debt, to which the Company is subject and with which the Company was not in compliance. A waiver was obtained to confirm that the Company was not in default on the long-term debt.

The properties in which the Company currently has an interest are in the exploration stage; as such the Company is dependent on external financing to fund its activities. In order to carry out the planned exploration and pay for administrative costs, the Company will spend its existing working capital and raise additional amounts as needed. The Company will continue to assess new properties and seek to acquire an interest in additional properties if it feels there is sufficient geologic or economic potential and if it has adequate financial resources to do so.

Management reviews its capital management approach on an ongoing basis and believes that this approach, given the relative size of the Company, is reasonable.

There were no changes in the Company's approach to capital management during the period ended September 30, 2020.

Risk Disclosures

Exposure to credit, interest rate and currency risks arises in the normal course of the Company's business.

Credit Risk

The Company has cash and cash equivalents balance of $7,542,641 (December 31, 2019 - $1,636,845) and accounts receivable of $556,687 (December 31, 2019 - $123,772). The Company's current policy is to invest excess cash in investment grade short-term deposit certificates issued by its banking institutions. The Company periodically monitors the investments it makes and is satisfied with the credit ratings of its banks. There is no significant credit risk with respect of receivables.

Interest Rate Risk

The Company has exposure to interest rate risk since its long-term debt has an interest rate based on 12 month LIBOR, subject to an interest floor.

Market Price Risk

The Company has convertible long-term debt denominated in US Dollars. The convertible feature of this long-term debt has been classified as a non-cash derivative liability. Among other variables, the fair value of the non-cash derivative liability is affected by changes in the market price of the Company shares.

18. FINANCIAL RISK FACTORS (Continued)

Foreign Currency Risk

The Company is exposed to foreign currency risk on financial assets and liabilities that are denominated in a currency other than the Canadian dollar. The currency giving rise to this risk is primarily the U.S. dollar, the balance of net monetary liabilities in such currency as of September 30, 2020 is $5,123,092 (December 31, 2019 - $4,534,000).

Liquidity Risk

The Company is exposed to liquidity risk primarily as a result of its trade accounts payable and its debt. The Company's approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet liabilities when due. As at September 30, 2020, the Company had a cash and cash equivalents balance of $7,542,641 (December 31, 2019 - $1,636,845) to settle current liabilities of $1,995,457 (December 31, 2019 - $1,376,069), excluding the non-cash unrenounced flow-through share premium liability. All of the Company's trade accounts payable have contractual maturities of less than 30 days and are subject to normal trade terms. The Company relies on external financing to generate sufficient operating capital and the management believes it will be able to raise any required funds in the short-term.

Sensitivity Analysis

As at September 30, 2020 and 2019, the carrying and fair value amounts of the Company's financial instruments are approximately equivalent.

Based on management's knowledge and experience of the financial markets, the Company believes the following movement is "reasonably possible" over a twelve-month period.

  • i) The Company is exposed to interest rate risk on LIBOR fluctuations for its long-term debt. A variance of 1% in the 12-month LIBOR will affect the annual Company's net comprehensive loss by approximately $58,692.
  • ii) The Company is exposed to foreign currency risk on fluctuations of balances that are denominated in US currency related to cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable and accrued liabilities. Sensitivity to a plus or minus 10% change in the foreign exchange rate would affect the net comprehensive loss by $512,309.
  • iii) The Company is exposed to market risk as it relates to its investments held in marketable securities. If market prices had varied by 10% from their September 30, 2020 fair market value positions, the comprehensive loss would have varied by $56,250.

Fair Value Hierarchy

The Company has designated its investments as FVTOCI, which are measured at fair value. The non-cash derivative liability is classified as FVTPL and is measured at fair value with unrealized gains or losses reported in the interim condensed consolidated statement of operations.

Accounts payable and accrued liabilities and the long-term debt are considered as other financial liabilities, which are measured at amortized cost which also approximates fair value. The fair value of long-term debt approximates their carrying amount due to the effective interest rate being close to the market rate.

18. FINANCIAL RISK FACTORS (Continued)

The following summarizes the methods and assumptions used in estimating the fair value of the Company's financial instruments where fair value measurement is required. Fair value amounts represent point in time estimates and may not reflect fair value in the future. The measurements are subjective in nature, involve uncertainties and are a matter of significant judgment. The methods and assumptions used to develop fair value measurements, for those financial instruments where fair value is recognized in the balance sheet, have been prioritized into three levels as per the fair value hierarchy. Level one includes quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level two includes inputs that are observable other than quoted prices included in level one. Level three includes inputs that are not based on observable market data. The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents and investments approximate their fair value.
