Notes to the Condensed Interim Financial Statements

1 NATURE AND CONTINUANCE OF OPERATIONS

Origen Resources Inc. (formerly 1223104 B.C. Ltd.) (the “Company”) was incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) (“BCBCA”) on September 12, 2019. The address of its head office is located at Suite 488-625 Howe Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada V6C 2T6. The Company’s registered and records office is 400 – 725 Granville Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, V7Y 1G5. The Company has listed its common shares on the Canadian Securities Exchange (“CSE”) under the symbol ORGN.

On April 28, 2020, the Company and Raffles Financial Group Limited (formerly Explorex Resources Inc.) (“Raffles”) closed their plan of arrangement (the “Plan of Arrangement”). Pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement, Raffles has spun out certain assets and liabilities to the Company, along with the transfer of $500,000 in cash, for consideration of 13,621,958 common shares and 935,325 share purchase warrants of the Company to Raffles’ shareholders (Note 4). The Company is an exploration company engaged in generating, acquiring and advancing base and precious metal properties.

The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on its ability to obtain additional equity financing and achieve future profitable operations. As at December 31, 2020, the Company had working capital of $2,762,017 (March 31, 2020 – deficiency of $129,806) and had not yet achieved profitable operations. The Company expects to incur further losses in the development of its business. All of these circumstances comprise a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. While the Company has been successful in securing financings in the past, there is no assurance that it will be able to do so in the future. If the going concern assumption were not appropriate for these financial statements, it could be necessary to restate the Company’s assets and liabilities on a liquidation basis.

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

The interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance to IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting using accounting policies consistent with the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRSs”) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and Interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”).

The interim financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for certain financial instruments that are measured at revalued amounts or fair values, as explained in the accounting policies below. In addition, the financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting, except for cash flow disclosure. These interim financial statements do not include all the information required for full annual financial statements. The interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual financial statements for the period from incorporation of September 12, 2019 to March 31, 2020.

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

3 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

a) Financial instruments

The following is the Company’s accounting policy for financial assets and liabilities:

Financial assets:

The Company classifies its financial assets in the following categories: at fair value through profit and loss (“FVTPL”), at fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVTOCI”), or at amortized cost.

The determination of the classification of financial assets is made at initial recognition. Equity instruments that are held for trading (including all equity derivative instruments) are classified as FVTPL; for other equity instruments, on the day of acquisition the Company can make an irrevocable election (on an instrument-by-instrument basis) to designate them as at FVTOCI.

Financial assets at FVTPL: Financial assets carried at FVTPL are initially recorded at fair value and transaction costs are expensed in the statement of income and comprehensive income. Realized and unrealized gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of financial assets held at FVTPL are included in the statement of income and comprehensive income in the period. The Company has classified its cash and investments as FVTPL.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d…)

  • a) Financial instruments (cont’d…)

Financial assets: (cont’d…)

Financial assets at FVTOCI: Investments in equity instruments at FVTOCI are initially recognized at fair value plus transaction costs. Subsequently, they are measured at fair value, with gains and losses arising from changes in fair value recognized in other comprehensive income in they arise.

Financial assets at amortized cost: A financial asset is measured at amortized cost if the objective of the business model is to hold the financial asset for the collection of contractual cash flows, and the asset’s contractual cash flows are comprised solely of payments of principal and interest. They are classified as current assets or non-current assets based on their maturity date and are initially recognized at fair value and subsequently carried at amortized cost less any impairment. The Company has classified its receivables as amortized cost.

Impairment of financial assets at amortized cost: The Company recognizes a loss allowance for expected credit losses on financial assets that are measured at amortized cost.

Financial liabilities

The Company classifies its financial liabilities into one of two categories, depending on the purpose for which the liability was incurred. The Company's accounting policy for each category is as follows:

Financial liabilities at FVTPL: This category comprises derivatives or liabilities acquired or incurred principally for the purpose of selling or repurchasing in the near term. They are carried in the statement of financial position at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in the statement of loss and comprehensive loss.

Financial liabilities at amortized cost: This category includes accounts payable and accrued liabilities and promissory note which are recognized at amortized cost using the effective interest method.

Transaction costs in respect of financial instruments at FVTPL are recognized in the statement of loss and comprehensive loss immediately, while transaction costs associated with all other financial instruments are included in the initial measurement of the financial instrument.

3 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d…)

b) Exploration and evaluation assets

Exploration costs are capitalized on an individual prospect basis until such time as an economic ore body is defined or the prospect is abandoned. No exploration costs are capitalized until the legal right to explore the property has been obtained. When it is determined that such costs will be recouped through successful development and exploitation, the capitalized expenditures are depreciated over the expected productive life of the asset. Costs for a producing asset are amortized on a unit-of-production method based on the estimated life of the ore reserves, while costs for the prospects abandoned are written off.

Impairment review for exploration and evaluation assets is carried out on a project by project basis, with each project representing a single cash generating unit. At the end of each reporting period, the Company's assets are reviewed to determine whether there is any indication that these assets are impaired. An impairment review is undertaken when indicators of impairment arise but typically when one or more of the following circumstances apply:

  • Unexpected geological occurrences are identified that render the resource uneconomical;

  • Title to the asset is compromised;

  • Fluctuations in the metal prices render the project uneconomical;

  • Variation in the currency of operations; and

  • Threat to political stability in the country of operation.

From time to time, the Company may acquire or dispose of exploration and evaluation assets pursuant to the terms of option agreements. Due to the fact that these options are exercisable entirely at the discretion of the optionee, the amounts payable or receivable are not recorded. Option payments are recorded as exploration and evaluation assets or recoveries when the payments are made or received.

The recoverability of the amounts capitalized for the undeveloped exploration and evaluation assets is dependent upon the determination of economically recoverable ore reserves, confirmation of the Company's interest in the underlying mineral claims, the ability to farm out its exploration and evaluation assets, the ability to obtain the necessary financing to complete their development and future profitable production or proceeds from their disposition thereof.

When entitled, the Company records refundable mineral exploration tax credits or incentive grants on an accrual basis and as a reduction of the carrying value of the mineral property interest. When the Company is entitled to non-refundable exploration tax credits, and it is probable that they can be used to reduce future taxable income, a deferred income tax benefit is recognized.

3 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d…)

c) Impairment of tangible and intangible assets

Tangible and intangible assets with finite useful lives are subject to impairment tests whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. Where the carrying value of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the higher of value in use and fair value less costs to sell, the asset is written down accordingly.

Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the impairment test is carried out on the assets’ cash-generating unit, which is the lowest group of assets in which the asset belongs for which there are separately identifiable cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets.

An impairment loss is charged to profit or loss except to the extent it reverses gains previously recognized in other comprehensive loss/income. Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but to an amount that does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset (or cash-generating unit) in prior periods. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized in profit or loss.

d) Leases

Except for short term leases and leases of low-value assets, the Company (i) recognizes ‘right-of-use’ assets and lease liabilities in the statement of financial position, initially measured at the present value of future lease payments discounted at the incremental borrowing rate; (ii) recognizes depreciation of right-of-use assets and interest on lease liabilities in profit or loss; and (iii) separates the total amount of cash paid into a principal portion (presented within financing activities) and interest (presented within operating activities) in the statement of cash flows.

e) Valuation of equity units issued in private placements

The Company engages in equity financing transactions to obtain the funds necessary to continue operations and explore and evaluate mineral properties. These equity financing transactions may involve issuance of common shares or units. A unit comprises a certain number of common shares and a certain number of share purchase warrants (“Warrants”). Depending on the terms and conditions of each equity financing agreement (“Agreement”), the Warrants are exercisable into additional common shares prior to expiry at a price stipulated by the Agreement. Warrants that are part of units are assigned value based on the residual value method. Warrants that are issued as payment for agency fees or other transactions costs are accounted for as share‐based payments.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d…)

f) Share-based compensation

The Company uses the fair value-based method for measuring compensation costs. The Company grants stock options to acquire common shares of the Company to directors, officers, employees and consultants. An individual is classified as an employee when the individual is an employee for legal or tax purposes or provides services similar to those performed by an employee.

The fair value of stock options is measured on the date of grant, using the Black‐Scholes option pricing model and is recognized over the vesting period. Consideration paid for the shares on the exercise of stock options is credited to capital stock.

In situations where equity instruments are issued to non-employees and some or all of the goods or services received by the entity as consideration cannot be specifically identified, they are measured at the fair value of the share-based payment. Otherwise, share-based payments are measured at the fair value of the goods or services received.

g) Income taxes

Income tax is recognized in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognized directly in equity, in which case it is recognized in equity. Current tax expense is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the period, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at period end, adjusted for amendments to tax payable relating to previous periods.

Deferred tax is recognized in respect to the temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. The following temporary differences do not result in deferred tax assets or liabilities: goodwill not deductible for tax purposes; the initial recognition of assets or liabilities that affect neither accounting nor taxable loss; and differences relating to investments in subsidiaries to the extent that they will probably not reverse in the foreseeable future. The amount of deferred tax provided is based on the expected manner of realization or settlement of the carrying amount of assets and liabilities, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the statement of financial position date.

A deferred tax asset is recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the asset can be utilized.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the Company intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.

h) Significant judgments, estimates and assumptions

The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Significant assumptions about the future and other sources of estimation uncertainty that management has made at the end of the reporting period, that could result in a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the event that actual results differ from assumptions made, relate to, but are not limited to, the following:

  • The carrying value and the recoverability of exploration and evaluation assets, which are included in the statements of financial position. The cost model is utilized and the value of the exploration and evaluation assets is based on the expenditures incurred. At every reporting period, management assesses the potential impairment which involves assessing whether or not facts or circumstances exist that suggest the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount;

  • • The valuation of shares issued in non-cash transactions. Generally, the valuation of non-cash transactions is based on the value of the goods or services received. When this cannot be determined, it is based on the fair value of the non-cash consideration. When non-cash transactions are entered into with employees and those providing similar services, the non-cash transactions are measured at the fair value of the consideration given up using market prices;

  • The recognition of deferred tax assets. The Company considers whether the realization of deferred tax assets is probable in determining whether or not to recognize these deferred tax assets; and

  • The fair value of the exploration and evaluation properties transferred in the plan of arrangement. Management estimated the fair value of the exploration and evaluation assets transferred which formed the value recorded on completion of the transaction.

  • Valuation of investments: Many factors can enter into the valuation of investments, including the trading value and volume of shares. This determination is subjective and does not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of the shares held.

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires the Company to make judgments, apart from those involving estimates, in applying accounting policies. The most significant judgments in applying the Company’s financial statements include:

  • The assessment of the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and whether there are events or conditions that may give rise to significant uncertainty; and

  • The conclusion that the plan of arrangement was an acquisition of assets and not a business combination.

4 PLAN OF ARRANGEMENT

On April 28, 2020, the Company and Raffles closed their Plan of Arrangement. Pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement, Raffles has spun out certain assets and liabilities to the Company, along with the transfer of $500,000 in cash, for consideration of 13,621,958 common shares and 935,325 share purchase warrants of the Company to Raffles’ shareholders.

The share purchase warrants were issued pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement, whereby holders of outstanding Raffles warrants received, in exchange for each warrant, one Raffles replacement warrant and 0.5 warrant of the Company, both with exercise prices based on the proportionate market value of two companies after the completion of Plan of Arrangement. The fair value of the share purchase warrants was determined to be $Nil. All share purchase warrants issued pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement expired during the period (Note 8).

The fair value of the net assets transferred to the Company, pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement consisted of the following assets and liabilities:

Assets: $
Cash 506,899
Receivables 6,287
Prepaid expenses 2,375
Exploration and evaluation assets 2,197,415
Total assets 2,712,976
Liabilities:
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities (181,976)
Flow-through obligation (31,000)
Fair value of net assets contributed 2,500,000

The Company assumed a flow-through obligation of $31,000 as Raffles had not completely fulfilled its commitment to incur exploration expenditures by December 31, 2018 in relation to flow-through share financings in October 2017. The Company may be required to indemnify flow-through individual investors for the amount of increased taxes payable by the flow-through investor as a consequence of the failure of Raffles to incur qualifying exploration expenditures previously renounced to the flowthrough investors.

The Plan of Arrangement resulted in an increase of share capital amounting to $2,500,000.

5 INVESTMENTS

– Strategic Investment Exploits Gold Corp.

On June 4, 2020, the Company entered into a strategic investment agreement with Exploits Gold Corp. (“Exploits Gold”). Exploits Gold was a private exploration company engaged in exploring for district scale high-grade gold deposits in the Central Newfoundland Gold Belt. The Company has been granted an exclusive one year right of first refusal to acquire any of the new projects generated by Exploits in exchange for a subscription of 666,667 common shares of Exploits Gold at a price of $0.15 per common share for gross proceeds of $100,000.

On September 1, 2020, the Company entered into a share purchase and sale agreement with Crest Resources Inc. (“Crest”) to purchase additional shares of Exploits Gold. The Company purchased 3,000,000 common shares of Exploits Gold from Crest in exchange for 4,200,000 common shares of the Company for a gross fair value of $840,000.

Exploits Gold was acquired by Exploits Discovery Corp. (formerly Mariner Resources Corp.) (“Exploits”) on September 18, 2020, resulting in the Company’s strategic investment becoming a reporting issuer traded on the CSE.

(“West”) with respect to the purchase and assumption by West of all of the Company’s rights, title and interest in, to and under its interest in an option and joint venture agreement relating to Kagoot Brook dated May 10, 2018, and as amended on January 7, 2020, with Great Atlantic Resources Corp. (“Great Atlantic”) (the “Underlying Agreement”). For consideration, West issued an aggregate of 500,000 common shares, valued at $90,000, to the Company. As a result, the Company recognized a write off of $10,000 in exploration and evaluation assets during the period ended December 31, 2020.

Pursuant to the Underlying Agreement, the Company had the right to earn a 75% interest in the Kagoot Brook located near Bathurst, New Brunswick (the “Option”).

To successfully exercise the Option, the Company was required to:

  • Incur a total of $650,000 of exploration expenditures by May 10, 2022; and

  • Make aggregate cash payments of $125,000 to Great Atlantic as follows: $15,000 by January 23, 2019 (paid by Raffles); $30,000 by May 23, 2020 (paid); $30,000 by January 23, 2021 (paid by West subsequent to period end); and $50,000 by January 23, 2022.

Upon earning 75% interest in Kagoot Brook by the Company, the parties would enter into a joint venture. If a joint venture party did not contribute its proportionate share of expenditures on Kagoot Brook, the non-contributing party’s joint venture interest would be reduced proportionately. If Great Atlantic’s joint venture interest was reduced to 5% or less, Great Atlantic would be deemed to have withdrawn from the joint venture and its remaining interest in Kagoot Brook would convert into a 3% NSR royalty, with the Company having the right to repurchase up to 2% of such royalty for $1,000,000 per each 1% of NSR royalty. Should Great Atlantic seek to sell any portion of the remaining NSR royalty, the Company would retain a first right of refusal.

10 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK

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 values of cash and investments are based on Level 1 inputs of the fair value hierarchy.

The fair values of the Company’s receivables and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their carrying values due to their short-term nature.

The Company’s risk exposures and the impact on the Company’s financial instruments are summarized below:

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of potential loss to the Company if the 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 and receivables. The Company limits exposure to credit risk on liquid financial assets through maintaining its cash with high-credit quality financial institutions.

The majority of the Company’s cash is held with major Canadian based financial institutions. Receivables are due primarily from government agency.

Liquidity risk

The Company’s approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet liabilities when due. As at December 31, 2020, the Company had a cash balance of $149,381 to settle current liabilities of $78,148.
