OPHIR GOLD CORP. (formerly Minkap Resources Inc.) NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE THREE AND SIX MONTH PERIODS ENDED NOVEMBER 30, 2020 AND 2019 (Expressed in Canadian dollars)

1. NATURE OF BUSINESS AND GOING CONCERN

Ophir Gold Corp. (the “Company” or “Ophir”), (formerly MinKap Resources Inc.) was incorporated under the Business Corporations Act in British Columbia on April 26, 2010. The head office, principal address and records office of the Company are located at 595 Howe Street, Suite 206, Vancouver, BC V6C 2T5. The Company’s registered address is 700 West Georgia Street, 25[th] Floor, Vancouver, British Columbia, V7Y 1B3.

Effective April 23, 2019 the Company implemented a consolidation of its common shares on the basis of 6 old for 1 new common share of the Company. All share and per share information has been retroactively restated to reflect the consolidation. Additionally, the Company changed its name from Kapuskasing Gold Corp. to MinKap Resources Inc. On October 9, 2020, the Company further changed its name from MinKap Resources Inc. to Ophir Gold Corp.

At the end of 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”) was reported in China. The COVID-19 outbreak has developed rapidly in 2020, with a significant number of infections around the world. On March 11, 2020, it was labelled a pandemic by the World Health Organization. During the first quarter of 2020, attempts at containment of COVID-19 have resulted in decreased economic activity, which has adversely affected the broader global economy. The rapid development and fluidity of the situation precludes any prediction as to the ultimate impact of COVID-19; however, the Company seeks to obtain the best possible information to enable the assessment of the risks involved, and implement appropriate measures to respond. The Company has taken a number of measures to safeguard the health of its workers and the local communities where it operates. The Company, with proper mitigation measures in place, is able to explore its mineral assets at this time, although there is no guarantee the situation will remain as such.

GOING CONCERN

The Company’s principal business activities include the acquisition and exploration of mineral property assets. At November 30, 2020, the Company had not yet determined whether the properties contain ore reserves that are economically recoverable. The recoverability of amounts shown for an exploration and evaluation asset is dependent upon the discovery of economically recoverable reserves, confirmation of the Company's interest in the underlying mineral claims, the ability of the Company to obtain the necessary financing to complete the development of and future profitable production from the properties or realizing proceeds from their disposition.

The Company has taken the appropriate steps to verify title to the properties on which it is conducting exploration and in which it has an interest, and to the best of the Company’s knowledge the Company holds title to its properties. These steps have been taken in accordance with industry standards for the current stage of exploration of such properties; however, these procedures may not always guarantee the Company's title. Dependent on jurisdiction, property title may be subject to unregistered prior agreements, unregistered claims, aboriginal claims, and/or non-compliance with regulatory and environmental requirements.

The Company's ability to retain the rights to certain of its properties is dependent upon the Company continuing to make option payments and/or meet other commitments (see note 9).

The Company has an accumulated deficit of $5,946,536 as at November 30, 2020 (May 31, 2020 - $5,796,033). The Company's ability to continue its operations and to realize its assets at their carrying values is dependent upon obtaining additional financing and generating revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs.

As at November 30, 2020, the Company’s current cash resources are insufficient to cover the expected expenditures in fiscal 2021. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on being able to obtain the necessary financing to satisfy its liabilities as they become due. There can be no assurances that management will be successful in securing adequate financing.

During the six month period ended November 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company reported a net loss of $150,503 and a net loss of $113,730 respectively. Historically, the Company has recognized recurring losses and the need for continued financing to further successful exploration may cast significant doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

These unaudited condensed interim financial statements do not give effect to any adjustments which would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern and therefore be 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.

OPHIR GOLD CORP. (formerly Minkap Resources Inc.) NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE THREE AND SIX MONTH PERIODS ENDED NOVEMBER 30, 2020 AND 2019 (Expressed in Canadian dollars)

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION

2.1 Statement of Compliance

These unaudited condensed interim financial statements, including comparatives, have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standards (“IAS”) 34 ‘Interim Financial Reporting’ (“IAS 34”) using accounting policies consistent with the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and Interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”).

These unaudited condensed interim financial statements were authorized by the Board of Directors of the Company on January 25, 2021.

2.2 Basis of Preparation and Functional and Presentation Currency

These unaudited condensed interim financial statements have been prepared on the basis of accounting policies and methods of computation consistent with those applied in the Company’s May 31, 2020 annual financial statements.

The financial statements are presented in Canadian Dollars, which is also the functional currency of the Company.

2.3 Significant Accounting Judgments and Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments and estimates and form assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its judgments and estimates in relation to assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses. Management uses historical experience and various other factors it believes to be reasonable under the given circumstances as the basis for its judgments and estimates. Actual outcomes may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions.

The most significant estimates and judgments relate to, but are not limited to, the following:

  • determination of the flow-through share premium requires the use of estimates when using the residual value method while calculating the premium associated with the issuance of flow-through shares compared with common shares;

  • calculation of the fair value of share-based payments requires the use of estimates of inputs in the Black-Scholes option pricing valuation model;

  • assessment of the carrying value of exploration and evaluation assets at each reporting date to determine whether any indication of impairment exists. When an impairment exists, the calculation of recoverable amount requires the use of estimates and assumptions such as long-term commodity prices, discount rates, recoverable metals, and operating performance;

  • ownership and control of property requires the use of judgment; and

  • assessment of the going concern assumption as detailed in Note 1 to the financial statements.

At November 30, 2020, the Company anticipates full recovery of these amounts and therefore no impairment has been recorded against these receivables. The credit risk on the receivables has been further discussed in Note 11.

The Company holds no collateral for any receivable amounts outstanding as at November 30, 2020.

4. MARKETABLE SECURITIES

Marketable securities are comprised of 1,000,000 (May 31, 2020 – 1,000,000) shares of Ubique Minerals Ltd. The Company has classified this investment as fair value through profit and loss investments.

As at November 30, 2020, the shares were valued at their fair value of $45,000 ($0.045 per share) (May 31, 2020 - $10,000 ($0.01 per share)) based on current market price. The impact to the financial statements of this revaluation to market value resulted in an unrealized gain of $35,000 for the six-month period ended November 30, 2020 (2019 – $30,000 unrealized loss).

Ubique will then have the right to buy back 1.75% of the NSR for $2,000,000. The underlying vendors are entitled to a NSR of 3% of which 2% may be repurchased for $2,000,000. In addition, the underlying vendors are entitled to a bonus payment in the event that the Operator delineates a NI 43-101 compliant resource of a minimum of 5,000,000 tonnes of ore with a grade of at least 7% zinc.

9. COMMITMENTS

The Company is obligated to make certain payments and issue shares as described in Note 5 in connection with the acquisition and continued exploration of its exploration and evaluation assets.

10. MANAGEMENT OF CAPITAL

The Company considers its capital to be all components of shareholders’ equity. The Company manages the capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. The Board of Directors does not establish quantitative return on capital criteria, but rather relies on the expertise of management and other professionals to sustain future development of the business.

The Company’s properties are in the exploration and development stage and, as a result, the Company currently has no source of operating cash flow. The Company intends to raise such funds as and when required to complete its projects. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to raise additional funds on reasonable terms. The only sources of future funds presently available to the Company are through the exercise of outstanding stock options or warrants, the sale of equity capital of the Company or the sale by the Company of an interest in any of its properties in whole or in part. The ability of the Company to arrange such financing in the future will depend in part upon the prevailing capital market conditions as well as the business performance of the Company. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in its efforts to arrange additional financing, if needed, on terms satisfactory to the Company.

Management reviews is 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 six month period ended November 30, 2020. The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital restrictions.

11. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company is exposed to varying degrees to a variety of financial instrument related risks. The Board approves and monitors the risk management processes. The type of risk exposure and the way in which such exposure is managed is provided as follows:

Credit Risk

Credit risk is the risk of potential loss to the Company if a counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Company’s credit risk is primarily attributable to its liquid financial assets including cash. The Company limits the exposure to credit risk by only investing its cash with high-credit quality financial institutions.

Price Risk

The Company holds the common shares of a TSX Venture Exchange traded company. The Company has classified this investment as fair value through profit and loss investments and such common shares are subject to stock market volatility. The value of this financial instrument fluctuates on a daily basis due to external market factors that are not within the control of the Company. The Company monitors the trading value of these common shares in order to ensure that, if in the best interest of the Company, sale of the shares is made under favourable conditions. A 10% increase (decrease) in the share price would increase (decrease) net loss by $4,500 (2019 - $500).

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 manages liquidity risk through the management of its capital structure and financial leverage as described in Note 10.

The Company monitors its ability to meet its short-term exploration and administrative expenditures by raising additional funds through share issuance when required. All of the Company’s financial liabilities have contractual maturities of 30 days or due on demand and are subject to normal trade terms. The Company does not have investments in any asset backed deposits.

In the normal course of business, the Company enters into contracts that give rise to commitments for future minimum payments. The following table summarizes the Company’s significant commitments and corresponding maturities:

<1 year 1 – 3 Years Total
Accountspayable and accrued liabilities $ 293,424 - $293,424

Foreign Exchange Risk

The Company currently does not have significant foreign exchange risk as all of its transactions are in Canadian dollars.

Interest Rate Risk

The Company is not exposed to significant interest rate risk.

Commodity Price Risk

The Company’s ability to raise capital to fund exploration activities is subject to risks associated with fluctuations in the market price of mineral resources. The Company closely monitors commodity prices to determine the appropriate course of action to be taken.

11. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued)

Fair Value Measurements

Financial instruments measured at fair value are classified into one of three levels in the fair value hierarchy according to the relative reliability of the inputs used to estimate the fair values. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are:

  • Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

  • Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly; and

  • • Level 3 – Inputs that are not based on observable market data.

The fair value of cash and marketable securities is determined based on “Level 1” inputs which consist of quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. As at November 30, 2020, the Company believes that the carrying values of accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximates its fair value because of their nature and relatively short maturity dates or durations.

Assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis were presented on the Company’s Statements of Financial Position as of November 30, 2020, as follows:

Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total
Cash $ 507,350 $ - $ - $ 507,350
Marketable securities 45,000 - - 45,000
