OMINECA MINING AND METALS LTD. (An Exploration Stage Corporation) Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Expressed in Canadian dollars)

September 30, 2021 and 2020

1. Nature and Continuance of Operations.

The Company’s corporate office and principal place of business is Suite 602, 224-4[th] Avenue South, Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada.

Management believes the Company will realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability in the future to achieve profitable operations and, in the meantime, to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities when they become due. During the year, there was a global pandemic outbreak of COVID-19. The actual and threatened spread of the virus globally has had material adverse effect on the global economy and, specifically, the regional economies in which the Company operates. The pandemic could continue to have a negative impact on the stock market, including trading prices of the Company’s shares and its ability to raise new capital. These factors, amongst others, could have a significant impact on the Company’s operations. These material uncertainties cast a substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. External financing, predominantly by the issuance of equity to the public, will be sought to finance the operations of the Company. These consolidated 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 business.

2. Basis of Preparation

(a) Statement of Compliance

These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in conformity with International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) 34, Interim Financial Reporting, and do not include all the information required for full annual financial statements 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"). It is suggested that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the annual audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020.

These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements were authorized for issue by the Company’s Board of Directors on November 19, 2021.

(b) Basis of Measurement

These condensed consolidated interim 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 (“FVTPL”) and at fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVOCI”) which are stated at their fair value. In addition, these audited consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting, except for cash flow information.

These audited consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, which is also the Company’s functional currency.

3. Current Investments

The Company holds securities that have been designated as FVTPL as follows:

Current:
Common shares in public companies
September 30, 2021
Fair Value
Cost
$ 31,945
$ 35,278
December 31, 2020
Fair Value
Cost
$23,778
$ 56,597

For securities traded in an active market, fair value is based on the quoted closing bid prices of the securities at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020. Cost is calculated using the quoted closing bid price on the date of receipt of the securities.

The Company recorded unrealized gain of $8,167 (2020 – loss of $nil) in the period.

6. Convertible Debenture

The Company has a convertible debenture with 49 North Resources Inc. The debenture was amended on September 19, 2016 extending the maturity by three years to October 1, 2021 (previously October 1, 2018). In the event commercial production has not been achieved for an aggregate period of 24 months, at the maturity date this debenture will automatically renew for an additional term of 5 years. As commercial production has not commenced as of December 31, 2020, the maturity date will be extended and the balance remains in long-term liabilities.

Under the Amended Debenture, 49 North can convert the principal amount into common shares of Omineca at a conversion price of $0.20 per common share prior to October 1, 2017; $0.50 per common share on or after October 1, 2017 but prior to October 1, 2018; and $0.75 per common share on or after October 1, 2018 (previously $1.25 after October 1, 2015). The debenture bears interest of 8% per annum, calculated and compounded monthly and is payable upon maturity at October 1, 2021. Accrued interest on the Amended Debenture is also convertible at a conversion price equal to the greater of the minimum price per common share permitted by the TSXV and the prevailing conversion price applicable to the principal amount at the time of conversion.

The change in terms of the debt resulted in less than a 10% change in cash flows, therefore it was considered a modification of the original debt, rather than an extinguishment of the old debt and the recognition of a new debt.

Payments against principal and interest shall be payable in the event ore sales are generated. The Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, CVG Mining Ltd., has guaranteed the debenture and grants to 49 North Resources Inc. a fixed and specific first ranking mortgage, assignment and charge in the Wingdam property.

6. Convertible Debenture - continued

The convertible debenture has been classified into its separate debenture liability and equity portions in the Company’s consolidated financial statements by the fair value method using an effective interest of 9.76% when valuing the liability first. This resulted in an initial amount of $5,019,984 being allocated to the liability portion and $303,244 being allocated to the equity portion. The carrying value of the debenture will be accreted up to its face value over the term to maturity.

All related party transactions in the normal course of business have been measured at the agreed upon exchange amounts, which is the amount of consideration established and agreed to by the related parties.

11. Commitments and Contingencies

The Company has $90,000 (2020 - $84,000) held as project reclamation deposits in favor of regulatory authorities. The amount of the deposit is determined at the time the exploration program is planned and a notice of work is submitted to the regulatory authority. If the work is more extensive than previously planned, the amount of the deposit will be increased. When reclamation work is completed on a project to the satisfaction of the regulatory authority, the deposit is released to the Company.

The Company has agreed to indemnify directors and officers under the bylaws of the Company to the extent permitted by law. The nature of the indemnifications prevent the Company from making a reasonable estimate of the maximum potential amount it could be required to pay to beneficiaries of such an indemnification agreement. The Company has purchased various insurance policies to reduce the risks association with such indemnification.

During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Corporation closed a flow-through financing and recorded a premium received on flow-through shares in the amount of $176,530, which was recorded as a liability to be reversed to profit and loss as the eligible expenditures were incurred.

12. Financial Instruments

For disclosure purposes, all financial instruments measured at fair value are categorized into one of three hierarchy levels, described below. Each level is based on the transparency of the inputs used to measure the fair values of assets and liabilities:

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

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

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

The Company holds various forms of financial instruments. The nature of these instruments and the Company’s operations expose the Company to concentration risk, credit risk, currency risk, price risk, commodity price risk and liquidity risk. The Company manages its exposure to these risks by operating in a manner that minimizes its exposure to the extent practical.

a) Concentration risk

At September 30, 2021, all of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents were held at two recognized Canadian national financial institutions. As a result, the Company was exposed to all of the risks associated with those institutions. Concentration risk also exists in marketable securities (investments) because the Company’s investments are primarily in shares of junior resource companies involved in gold exploration.

b) Credit risk

The Company is exposed to credit risk, which is the risk that a customer or counterparty will fail to perform an obligation or settle a liability, resulting in financial loss to the Company. The Company manages exposure to credit risk by adopting credit risk guidelines that limit transactions according to counterparty credit worthiness. The maximum credit exposure associated with accounts receivable is the carrying value.

c) Currency risk

Currency risk is the risk to the Company's operations that arise from fluctuations of foreign exchange rates and the degree of volatility of these rates. The Company does not use derivative instruments to reduce its exposure to foreign currency risk. As at September 30, 2021, the Company has no monetary assets or liabilities in foreign currencies.

d) Price risk

The Company’s investments designated as FVTPL and are traded on the TSX Venture Exchange. A 1% change in the quoted share price would not significantly impact the fair value of the investments. The change would be recorded in profit or loss.

e) Commodity price risk

The value of the Company’s exploration and evaluation resource properties is related to the price of various commodities and the outlook for them. Commodity prices have historically fluctuated widely and are affected by numerous factors outside of the Company’s control, including, but not limited to, industrial retail demand, central bank lending, forward sales by producers and speculators, level of worldwide production and short-term changes in supply and demand.

f)

Liquidity risk

The Company has a working capital of $735,529 at September 30, 2021 (December 31, 2020 - $3,987,133 deficiency) which is not sufficient to meet long term business requirements when taking into account cash flows from operations and the Company’s holdings of cash and cash equivalents. Future operations or exploration programs will require additional financing primarily through equity markets, or through joint venture partnerships.

13. Supplemental Cash Flow Information

Non-cash investing and financing activities:

Included in exploration and evaluation assets are $68,530 (2020 - $62,181) in capitalized accretion and interest and $553,701 (2020 - $547,745) in accounts payable and accrued liabilities.

The Company allocated $47,999 (2020 - $nil) from contributed surplus to share capital upon the exercise of stock options.

14. Capital Management

The Company includes cash and cash equivalents and equity, comprising of issued common shares, equity component of convertible debenture, contributed surplus, and deficit, in the definition of capital. 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 exploration and evaluation 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 raise additional funds 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 periods ended September 30, 2021 and 2020. The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements.
