NORAM LITHIUM CORP. (formerly Noram Ventures Inc.) NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS As at and for the periods ended October 31, 2021 and 2020

(Unaudited - Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

1. Nature of operations and going concern

Noram Lithium Corp. (formerly Noram Ventures Inc.), (“Noram” or the “Company”) was incorporated on June 15, 2010 under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia). The Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Green Energy Resources Inc. (“Green Energy”), is in the business of acquiring, exploring and developing mineral exploration properties in the state of Nevada, USA. The Company’s shares are listed on the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSX-V”).

The address of the Company’s registered and records office is 2150, 555 West Hastings Street, Vancouver, BC, V6B 4N6.

These consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared using accounting principles applicable to a going concern which assumes 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 business rather than through a process of forced liquidation.

The business of exploration involves a high degree of risk and there can be no assurance that current exploration programs will result in profitable mining operations. The recoverability of resource property expenditures is dependent upon several factors. These include the discovery of economically recoverable reserves, the ability of the Company to obtain the necessary financing to complete the development of these properties, and future profitable production or proceeds from disposition of mineral properties. The Company will need access to capital to continue advancing its properties. Additional financing is subject to the global financial markets and prevailing economic conditions. These factors will likely make it more challenging to obtain financing. These matters and conditions indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as going concern.

These consolidated interim financial statements do not reflect the adjustments to the carrying value of assets and liabilities, or the impact on the statement of operations and comprehensive loss and financial position classifications that would be necessary were the going concern assumption not appropriate.

Since January 31, 2020, the outbreak of the novel strain of coronavirus, specifically identified as “COVID-19”, has resulted in governments worldwide enacting emergency measures to combat the spread of the virus. These measures, which include the implementation of travel bans, self-imposed 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 COVID-19 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 operations in future periods.

These consolidated interim financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors of the Company on December 30, 2021.

2. Basis of presentation and statement of compliance

Statement of compliance

These consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) applicable to the preparation of interim financial statements, including International Accounting Standards (“IAS”) 34, Interim Financial Reporting. These consolidated interim financial statements do not include all of the information required for full annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited annual financial statements for the year ended January 31, 2021, which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS.

These consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for certain financial instruments which are measured at fair value.

These consolidated interim financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars.

Basis of consolidation

These consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary Green Energy Inc. (“Green Energy”), incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on May 10, 2016.

Significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions

The preparation of the Company’s consolidated interim financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses and related disclosure. Estimates and assumptions are continuously evaluated and are based on management’s experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. However, actual outcomes can differ from these estimates. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.

Critical judgments in applying accounting policies:

The following are critical judgments that management has made in the process of applying accounting policies and that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the consolidated interim financial statements:

  • the determination that the Company will continue as a going concern for the next year; and

  • • the determination that there have been no events or changes in circumstances that indicate the carrying amount of exploration and evaluation assets may not be recoverable.

(Unaudited - Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

2. Basis of presentation and statement of compliance (continued)

Impairment

At each reporting period, management reviews all assets for indicators of impairment. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated to determine the extent of the impairment loss, if any. The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. Fair value is determined as the amount that would be obtained from the sale of the asset in an arm’s length transaction. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value. If the recoverable amount of the asset is less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount and the impairment loss is recognized in the profit or loss for that period. For an asset that does not generate largely independent cash inflows, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash generating unit to which that asset belongs.

Past impairments are also considered at each reporting period and where there is an indication that an impairment loss may have decreased, the recoverable amount is calculated as outlined above to determine the extent of the recovery. If the recoverable amount of the asset is more than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to its recoverable amount and the impairment loss is reversed in the profit or loss for that period. The increased carrying amount due to reversal will not be more than what the depreciated historical cost would have been if the impairment had not been recognized.

Recent accounting pronouncements

The Company has reviewed new and revised accounting pronouncements that have been issued but are not yet effective. The Company has not early adopted any of these standards and is currently evaluating the impact, if any, that these standards might have on its financial statements.

3. Short-term investment

Short-term investment represents GIC deposits at a large Canadian financial institution with a maturity of more than 30 days when purchased.

The Company entered into an agreement to acquire mineral claims in Clayton Valley, Nevada. The Company paid USD$ 100,000 ($125,480) for the mineral claims, by way of a promissory note to the vendor and a Net Smelter Royalty (“NSR”) of 2.5%. The promissory note and all accrued interest at the rate of 8% per annum is due on or before April 27, 2017. The definitive agreement and transfer of tenure was closed on April 27, 2016.

The Company subsequently acquired additional claims by way of staking.

On February 8, 2017, the Company entered into a definitive property option agreement (the “Option Agreement”) with CDN Maverick Capital Corp.

In order to keep the Option Agreement in good standing and in force and effect, Maverick shall make mandatory payments to Green Energy Resources Inc. (“Green Energy”) a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company to acquire up to a maximum of 50% interest in the claims by paying up to an aggregate of $900,000, issuing 100,000 common shares of Maverick (the “Maverick” shares), and completing a NI 43-101 Technical Report on the drilling results by November 30, 2017.

9. Financial Instruments

Fair Values and Classification

The Company’s financial instruments include cash, short term investment, reclamation bond and accounts payable. Cash, short term investment, reclamation bond and accounts payable are classified as financial instruments at fair value through profit and loss and are measured at fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments.

IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value 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).

10. Financial risk management objectives and policies

The risks associated with financial instruments and the policies on how to mitigate these risks are set out below. Management monitors these exposures to ensure appropriate measures are implemented on a timely and effective manner.

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, short-term investment and reclamation bond 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 by depositing only with reputable financial institutions. Credit risk is assessed as low.

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. Liquidity risk is assessed as low.

10. Financial risk management objectives and policies (continued)

Significant commitments in years subsequent to October 31, 2021 are as follows:

Carrying Contractual Within 1
value Cash flows Year 1 -5Years
$ $ $ $
Accounts payable 195,935 195,935 195,935 -
Lease liability 6,528 10,229 10,229 -

Foreign exchange risk

Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair values of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because they are denominated in currencies that differ from the respective functional currency. The Company believes it has no significant foreign exchange risk.

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or the future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company has no interest-bearing debt as at October 31, 2021. The Company has no significant interest rate risk.

11. 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 properties in which the Company currently has an interest are in the exploration stage; as such the Company has historically relied on the equity markets 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.

The capital structure of the Company consists of shareholder’s equity, comprising issued capital and deficit. The Company is not exposed to any externally imposed requirements. Management reviews its capital management approach on an ongoing basis and believes that this approach, given the relative size of the Company, is reasonable.

12. Segmented information

The Company operates in one reportable segment, being the identification, acquisition and exploration of mineral interests in the USA.
