ORESTONE MINING CORP. Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements For the three months ended April 30, 2021 and 2020 (Unaudited: expressed in Canadian dollars)
1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN
Orestone Mining Corp. (the “Company” or “Orestone”) was incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) on April 30, 2007 and its principal business activity is the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties. The address of the Company’s registered and head office is 19[th] Floor, 885 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, BC V6C 3H4. The Company’s shares are listed on the TSX Venture Exchange and trade under the symbol “ORS”.
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) applicable to a going concern basis, which assumes that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. The continuing operations of the Company are dependent upon its ability to raise adequate financing to develop its exploration and evaluation assets, and to commence profitable operations in the future. To date, the Company has not generated any significant revenues and is considered to be in the exploration stage. These uncertainties may cast significant doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
Management’s plan includes continuing to pursue additional sources of financing through equity offerings, seeking joint venture partners to fund exploration, monitoring exploration activity and reducing overhead costs. Should the Company be unable to realize on its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business, the net realizable value of its assets may be materially less than the amounts recorded on the consolidated financial statements of financial position. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that may be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in existence.
In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared coronavirus COVID-19 a global pandemic. This contagious disease outbreak, which has continued to spread, and any related adverse public health developments, has adversely affected workforces, economies, and financial markets globally, potentially leading to an economic downturn. It is not possible for the Company to predict the duration or magnitude of the adverse results of the outbreak and its effects on the Company’s business or ability to raise funds.

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
(a) Statement of compliance
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements, including comparatives, have been prepared in accordance and compliance with International Accounting Standards (“IAS”) 34 “Interim Financial Reporting” (“IAS 34”) using accounting policies consistent with IFRS issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”).
(b) Basis of preparation
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis except for marketable securities classified and measured at fair value through profit or loss. In addition, these condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting, except for cash flow information.
The preparation of these condensed consolidated interim financial statements in conformity with IAS 34 requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates. These condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not include all of the information required for full annual financial statements.

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION, (Continued)
(b) Basis of preparation, (Continued)
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements, including comparatives, have been prepared on the basis of IFRS standards that are published at the time of preparation.
3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB on a basis consistent with those followed in the Company’s most recent annual financial statements for the year ended January 31, 2021.
These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not include all note disclosures required by IFRS for annual financial statements, and therefore should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements for the year ended January 31, 2021. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows have been included. Operating results for the three-month period ended April 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the current fiscal year ending January 31, 2022.

5. EXPLORATION AND EVALUATION ASSETS
Captain Property
The Company owns a 100% interest in certain mineral claims comprising the Captain Property located near Fort St. James, British Columbia.
As at April 30, 2021, the Company had issued a $15,000 (January 31, 2021 - $15,000) reclamation bond to the Ministry of Energy, Mines and Petroleum Resources of British Columbia to guarantee reclamation of the environment on the Captain Property.
Resguardo Property
On August 16, 2018, the Company signed a unilateral purchase option agreement (the “Agreement”) for a 100% interest in certain mining concessions in the Resguardo copper-gold project in northern Chile. Following a review of the results from the reverse circulation drilling program in fiscal 2021, the low copper-gold values encountered on the primary target did not justify further work and Orestone terminated the Agreement. This resulted in an impairment of $734,863 during the year ended January 31, 2021.
During the term of the Agreement, the Company made cash payments totalling US$220,000 ($288,934).

Fiscal 2022
On March 23, 2021, the Company completed a non-brokered private placement of units (“Units”) and flowthrough common shares (“Flow-Through Shares”) for $1,854,470 (the “Offering”). In part “A” of the Offering, the Company issued 10,228,556 Units at a price of $0.09 per Unit for gross proceeds of $920,570. Each Unit consisted of one common share of the Company (“Common Share”) and one common share purchase warrant (“Warrant”). Each Warrant is exercisable for one Common Share at a price of $0.15 until March 23, 2022. In part “B” of the Offering, the Company issued 7,183,847 Flow-Through Shares at a price of $0.13 per Flow-Through Share for gross proceeds of $933,900. The Warrants were ascribed a value of $368,228 under the Black- Scholes valuation model with the residual being allocated to share capital. Finders’ fees amounting to $61,846 were paid in connection with the Offering. The Company also incurred another $16,486 share issue costs related to this Offering.
Fiscal 2021
During the year ended January 31, 2021, the Company issued an aggregate of 444,546 common shares for gross proceeds of $66,682 pursuant to the exercise of warrants.
On May 29, 2020, the Company completed a non-brokered private placement issuing 10,625,000 units (“Unit”) at a price of $0.08 per Unit for gross proceeds of $850,000. Each Unit consisted of one common share of the Company and one common share purchase warrant. Each warrant is exercisable for one common share of the Company at a price of $0.12 until May 29, 2022. If the closing trading price of the shares on the TSX Venture Exchange (or such other stock exchange on which the shares may be listed) is at or greater than $0.25 per share for any 20 consecutive trading days at any time commencing after September 29, 2020, the Company may accelerate the expiry date of the warrants by giving notice to the holders thereof and, in such case, the warrants will expire on the earlier of (a) the 10th trading day after the date on which such notice is given by the Company and (b) the original expiry date of the warrants. The warrants were ascribed a value of $366,824 under the Black-Scholes valuation model with the residual being allocated to share capital. No finders’ fees were paid in connection with the private placement. The Company incurred $29,182 share issue costs related to this private placement.
c. Share purchase option compensation plan
The Company has adopted an incentive share option plan, which provides that the Board of Directors of the Company may from time to time, in its discretion, and in accordance with the TSX Venture Exchange requirements, grant to directors, officers, employees and technical consultants to the Company, nontransferable options to purchase common shares, provided that the number of common shares reserved for issuance will not exceed 10% of the common shares to be outstanding at closing. Such options will be exercisable for a period of up to 5 years from the date of grant. In connection with the foregoing, the number of common shares reserved for issuance to any individual director or officer will not exceed 5% of the issued and outstanding common shares and the number of common shares reserved for issuance to all technical consultants will not exceed 2% of the issued and outstanding common shares.

The assumptions used in the Black Scholes Option Pricing Model to estimate the fair value of options were:
| Risk-free interest rate Expected stock price volatility Expected option life in years Expected dividend yield Forfeiture rate |
2021 2020 |
|---|---|
| 0.92% - 1.27% Nil 157.16% - 178.33% Nil 5 years Nil Nil Nil Nil Nil |
Option pricing models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected price volatility. Changes in the subjective assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, and therefore the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable measure of the fair value of the Company’s share purchase options.

9. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The fair value of the Company’s cash, marketable securities, receivables and trade and other payables approximate their carrying values.
The Company’s financial instruments recorded at fair value require disclosure about how the fair value was determined based on significant levels of inputs described in the following hierarchy:
Level 1 – Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. Active markets are those in which transactions occur in sufficient frequency and value to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.
Level 2 – Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1. Prices in Level 2 are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date. Level 2 valuations are based on inputs including quoted forward prices for commodities, time value and volatility factors, which can be substantially observed or corroborated in the market place.
Level 3 – Valuations in this level are those with inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.

9. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS, (Continued)
Cash and marketable securities are measured using level 1 inputs. There were no transfers between levels 1, 2 and 3.
The Company’s financial instruments are exposed to certain financial risks, including credit risk, liquidity risk, interest risk and market risk.
(a) Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will fail to fulfil an obligation causing the other party to incur a financial loss. The Company is exposed to credit risks arising from its cash holdings, reclamation bonds and receivables (excluding GST). The Company manages credit risk by placing cash with major Canadian financial institutions. Management believes that credit risk related to these amounts is low.
(b) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not have sufficient funds to meet its financial obligations when they are due. To manage liquidity risk, the Company reviews additional sources of capital to continue its operations and discharge its commitments as they become due.
Historically, the Company’s sole source of funding has been the issuance of equity securities for cash and cash equivalents, primarily through private placements. The Company’s access to financing is always uncertain. There can be no assurance of continued access to significant equity funding. Liquidity risk is assessed as high.
(c) Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that an investment’s value will change due to a change in the level of interest rates. The Company’s exposure to interest rate risk is minimal.
(d) Market risk
Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risk comprises two types of risk: currency risk and price risk. The Company is not subject to currency risk as the functional currency is the Canadian dollar. The Company does not use any form of derivative or hedging instruments to reduce its foreign currency risk. The Company is not affected by price risk.
(e) Management of industry risk
The Company is engaged primarily in the mineral exploration field and manages related industry risk issues directly. The Company is potentially at risk for environmental reclamation and fluctuations in commodity based market prices associated with resource property interests. Management is of the opinion that the Company addresses environmental risk and compliance in accordance with industry standards and specific project environmental requirements.
(f) Currency risk
The Company’s property interest in Chile makes it subject to foreign currency fluctuations and inflationary pressures which may adversely affect the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows. The Company is affected by changes in exchange rates between the Canadian Dollar and foreign functional currency. The Company does not invest in foreign currency contracts to mitigate the risks. The Company has net monetary assets of $79,140 dominated in US dollars.

10. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
The Company considers its capital structure to be shareholders’ equity represented by assets over liabilities. The Company manages its capital structure based on the funds available to the Company, in order to support acquisition, maintenance, exploration, and development of exploration and evaluation assets.
The Board of Directors has not established any quantitative return on capital criteria for management, instead relying on the expertise of the Company’s management to sustain future development of the business.
The properties in which the Company currently has interests are in the exploration stage so the Company is dependent on external financing to fund its activities. In order to carry out activities and administration, the Company will spend its existing working capital and raise additional amounts as needed.
The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital restrictions.
11. SEGMENTED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The Company operates in one industry segment, being the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral property interests. Geographic information is as follows:

Flow-through common shares require the Company to spend an amount equivalent to the proceeds of the issued flow-through common shares on Canadian qualifying exploration expenditures. The Company may be required to indemnify the holders of such shares for any tax and other costs payable by them in the event the Company has not made the required exploration expenditures.
During the three months ended April 30, 2021, the Company received $933,900 from the issuance of flowthrough shares at a premium to the market price and recognized a deferred premium on flow-through shares of $143,677. During the three months ended April 30, 2021, the Company incurred and renounced eligible expenditures of $394,367. These expenditures will not be available to the Company for future deduction from taxable income.
Under the IFRS framework, the increase to share capital when flow-through shares are issued is measured based on the current market price of common shares. The incremental proceeds, or “premium”, are recorded as deferred income. As at April 30, 2021, the Company has a remaining qualifying expenditure commitment of $539,533 from the proceeds of flow-through shares issued on March 23, 2021.
