OROCO RESOURCE CORP.

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

MAY 31, 2021

(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

To the Shareholders of Oroco Resource Corp.

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Oroco Resource Corp. (the “Company”), which comprise the consolidated statements of financial position as at May 31, 2021 and 2020, and the consolidated statements of income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss), changes in shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

In our opinion, these consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at May 31, 2021 and 2020, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”).

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audits in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the consolidated financial statements in Canada, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained in our audits is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Other Information

Management is responsible for the other information. The other information obtained at the date of this auditor's report includes Management’s Discussion and Analysis.

Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

We obtained Management’s Discussion and Analysis prior to the date of this auditor’s report. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Consolidated Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

  • Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control.

  • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.

  • Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.

  • Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

  • Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Company to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

The engagement partner on the audit resulting in this independent auditor’s report is Guy Thomas.

OROCO RESOURCE CORP. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Expressed in Canadian Dollars) May 31, 2021

1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN

Oroco Resource Corp. (the “Company”) was incorporated on July 7, 2006 under the Business Corporations Act of British Columbia and is in the business of acquiring and exploring exploration and evaluation assets in Mexico. The Company is listed on the TSX Venture Exchange (the “TSX-V”). The Company’s head office and principal address is located at #1201 - 1166 Alberni Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, V6E 3Z3.

The Company is an exploration stage business engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties in Mexico.

The Company has not yet determined whether its exploration and evaluation assets contain reserves that are economically recoverable. The continued operations of the Company and the recoverability of amounts shown for exploration and evaluation assets and related deferred exploration expenditures are dependent upon the discovery of economically recoverable reserves, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing to complete the development of the mineral properties and upon future profitable production or proceeds from the disposition thereof. Management estimates it will have sufficient funds to operate for the upcoming twelve months.

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the assumption that the Company will continue as a going concern, meaning it will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize assets and discharge liabilities in the ordinary course of operations. Different bases of measurement may be appropriate if the Company is not expected to continue operations for the foreseeable future. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might 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 results of operations or its ability to raise funds.

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Statement of compliance

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared 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”).

These consolidated financial statements were authorized by the Audit Committee and Board of Directors of the Company on September 27, 2021.

Basis of presentation

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, using the accrual basis of accounting, except for cash flow information and certain financial assets that are measured at fair value, as explained in the significant accounting policies set out in Note 3.

OROCO RESOURCE CORP. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Expressed in Canadian Dollars) May 31, 2021

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION (cont’d…)

Functional and presentation currency

These consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, unless otherwise noted, which is the functional currency of the parent and of its subsidiaries.

Basis of consolidation

These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its direct wholly-owned subsidiaries. Control exists when the Company possesses power over an investee, has exposure to variable returns from the investee and has the ability to use its power over the investee to affect its returns. Intercompany balances and transactions, and any unrealized income and expenses arising from intercompany transactions, are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements.

Country of Percentage of
Name of Subsidiary Incorporation Ownership Principal Activity
Minera Xochipala S.A. de C.V. (“MX”) Mexico 100% Exploration in Mexico
Xochipala Gold S.A. de C.V. (“XG”) Mexico 86% Exploration in Mexico
0973496 B.C. Ltd. Canada 100% Holding company
Altamura Copper Corp. (“Altamura”) Canada 100% Holding company

The Company also holds: an inactive, nominal company incorporated in Canada; a majority interest in Aztec Copper Inc. (“Aztec”), an inactive subsidiary incorporated in the United States and its subsidiary, Prime Aztec Mexicana, S.A. de C.V. an inactive subsidiary incorporated in Mexico; a 100% interest in Desarrollos Copper, S.A. de C.V. (“Desarrollos”), an inactive subsidiary incorporated in Mexico; and a 50% interest in Ruero International Ltd. (“Ruero”), an inactive subsidiary incorporated in the Bahamas.

Significant estimates

The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The Company’s management reviews these estimates and underlying assumptions on an ongoing basis, based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Revisions to estimates are adjusted for prospectively in the period in which the estimates are revised.

Critical accounting estimates are estimates and assumptions made by management that may result in a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities within the next financial year and are, but are not limited to, the following:

Share-based payment - The fair value of stock options issued are subject to the limitation of the Black-Scholes option pricing model which incorporates market data and which involves uncertainty and subjectivity in estimates used by management in the assumptions. Changes in the input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate of stock options.

Valuation of marketable securities - The Company evaluates, among other factors, the duration and extent to which the fair value of an investment is less than its cost; and the financial health of, and near term business outlook for, the investee, including factors such as industry and sector performance, changes in technology, and operational and financing cash flow.

OROCO RESOURCE CORP. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Expressed in Canadian Dollars) May 31, 2021

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION (cont’d…)

Significant estimates (cont’d…)

The carrying value and the recoverability of exploration and evaluation assets - Management has determined that exploration, evaluation and related costs incurred, which were capitalized may have future economic benefits and may be economically recoverable. Management uses several criteria in its assessments of economic recoverability and probability of future economic benefits including geologic and other technical information, history of conversion of mineral deposits with similar characteristics to its own properties to proven and probable mineral reserves, scoping and feasibility studies, accessible facilities and existing permits.

Valuation of production royalty - The Company is entitled to royalty income as disclosed in Note 5. The Company has estimated the value of the production royalty to be $nil due to lack of certainty of future ongoing production and values.

Significant judgments

Information about critical judgments in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in these consolidated financial statements are, but are not limited to, the following:

Determination of functional currency - The functional currency of the Company and its subsidiaries is the currency of the primary economic environment in which each entity operates. The Company has determined the functional currency of each entity to be the Canadian dollar. Determination of the functional currency may involve certain judgments to determine the primary economic environment. The functional currency may change if there is a change in events and conditions which determines the primary economic environment.

Classification of investments as subsidiaries, joint ventures, associated company and portfolio investments - Classification of investments requires judgement as to whether the Company controls, has joint control of or significant influence over the strategic financial and operating decisions relating to the activity of the investee. In assessing the level of control or influence that the Company has over an investment, management considers ownership percentages, board representation as well as other relevant provisions in shareholder agreements. If an investor holds or has the ability to hold 20% or more of the voting power of the investee, it is presumed that the investor has significant influence, unless it can be clearly demonstrated that this is not the case. Conversely, if the investor holds less than 20% of the voting power of the investee, it is presumed that the investor does not have significant influence, unless such influence can be clearly demonstrated. The Company previously accounted for its interest in Altamura as an equity investment as the Company had the ability to convert its advances into an increased interest in Altamura.

Acquisition of a company - The Company acquired shares in companies as further described in Note 4. These companies did not meet the definition of a business under IFRS 3 and accordingly have been accounted for as an acquisition of assets through the issuance of shares in accordance with IFRS 2. Where the acquisition was in steps, the book value of the original interest was adjusted to fair value based on the acquisition date fair value.

OROCO RESOURCE CORP. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Expressed in Canadian Dollars) May 31, 2021

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Financial instruments

Financial assets

On initial recognition, financial assets are recognized at fair value and are subsequently classified and measured at: amortized cost; fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVTOCI”); or fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL). The classification of financial assets depends on the purpose for which the financial assets were acquired and is generally based on the business model in which a financial asset is managed and its contractual cash flow characteristics. Financial assets are measured at fair value net of transaction costs that are directly attributable to its acquisition except for financial assets at FVTPL where transaction costs are expensed. All financial assets not classified and measured at amortized cost or FVTOCI are measured at FVTPL. On initial recognition of an equity instrument that is not held for trading, the Company may irrevocably elect to present subsequent changes in the investment’s fair value in other comprehensive income. The classification determines the method by which the financial assets are carried on the consolidated statement of financial position subsequent to inception and how changes in value are recorded. Financial assets are classified as current assets or non-current assets based on their maturity date.

The Company’s financial assets consist of: cash and receivables classified at amortized cost; marketable securities classified at FVTOCI; and derivative contract classified at FVTPL.

Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are designated as either: fair value through profit or loss; or amortized cost. All financial liabilities are classified and subsequently measured at amortized cost except for financial liabilities at FVTPL. The classification determines the method by which the financial liabilities are carried on the consolidated statement of financial position subsequent to inception and how changes in value are recorded.

The Company’s financial liabilities consist of: accounts payable and accrued liabilities classified at amortized cost.

Impairment of financial assets

An expected credit loss (“ECL”) model applies to financial assets measured at amortized cost, contract assets and debt investments at FVTOCI, but not to investments in equity instruments. The ECL model requires a loss allowance to be recognized based on expected credit losses. The estimated present value of future cash flows associated with the asset is determined and an impairment loss is recognized for the difference between this amount and the carrying amount as follows: the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to estimated present value of the future cash flows associated with the asset, discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate, either directly or through the use of an allowance account and the resulting loss is recognized in profit or loss for the period. In a subsequent period, if the amount of the impairment loss related to financial assets measured at amortized cost decreases, the previously recognized impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss to the extent that the carrying amount of the investment at the date the impairment is reversed does not exceed what the amortized cost would have been had the impairment not been recognized. The Company’s financial assets measured at amortized cost are subject to the ECL model.

Investments in associated companies

The Company accounts for its long-term investments in affiliated companies over which it has significant influence using the equity basis of accounting, whereby the investment is initially recorded at cost, adjusted to recognize the Company’s share of earnings or losses and reduced by dividends received.

The Company assesses its equity investments for impairment if there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the equity investment and that the event or events has an impact on the estimated future cash flow of the investment that can be reliably estimated. Objective evidence of impairment of equity investments includes:

  • significant financial difficulty of the associated companies;

  • becoming probable that the associated companies will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganization; or

  • • national or local economic conditions that correlate with defaults of the associated companies.

Derivatives

The Company utilizes currency derivative contracts to hedge its exposure to fluctuations in the exchange rate between the Canadian Dollar and Mexican Peso. These derivative contracts are not designated for hedge accounting treatment. Accordingly, changes in the fair value of derivative contracts are recorded in profit or loss to offset the changes in the value of the underlying currency being hedged.

Exploration and evaluation assets

Exploration and evaluation assets include the costs of acquiring licenses, costs associated with exploration and evaluation activity, and the fair value (at acquisition date) of exploration and evaluation assets acquired in a business combination. All costs related to the acquisition and exploration of exploration and evaluation assets are capitalized by property as an intangible asset. Costs incurred before the Company has obtained the legal rights to explore an area are charged to operations.

Exploration and evaluation assets are assessed for impairment if (i) sufficient data exists to determine technical feasibility and commercial viability and (ii) facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount.

Once the technical feasibility and commercial viability of the extraction of mineral resources in an area of interest are demonstrable, exploration and evaluation assets attributable to that area of interest are first tested for impairment and then reclassified to mining property and development assets within property, plant and equipment.

Recoverability of the carrying amount of the exploration and evaluation assets is dependent on successful development and commercial exploitation, or alternatively, sale of the respective areas of interest.

General exploration costs not related to specific properties and general administrative expenses are charged to operations in the year in which they are incurred.

The Company does not have any producing mineral properties and all of its efforts to date have been exploratory in nature. Upon the establishment of commercial production, carrying values of deferred acquisition and exploration costs are amortized over the estimated life of the mine using the units of production method.

Provisions

Rehabilitation provisions

The Company recognizes liabilities for statutory, contractual, constructive or legal obligations, including those associated with the rehabilitation of exploration and evaluation assets and equipment, when those obligations result from the acquisition, construction, development or normal operation of the assets. Initially, a liability for rehabilitation obligation is recognized at its fair value in the period in which it is incurred if a reasonable estimate of cost can be made. The Company records the present value of estimated future cash flows associated with rehabilitation as a liability when the liability is incurred and increases the carrying value of the related assets for that amount.

Subsequently, these capitalized rehabilitation costs are amortized over the life of the related assets. At the end of each period, the liability is increased to reflect the passage of time (accretion expense) and changes in the estimated future cash flows underlying any initial estimates (additional rehabilitation costs).

The Company recognizes its environmental liability on a site-by-site basis when it can be reliably estimated. Environmental expenditures related to existing conditions resulting from past or current operations and from which no current or future benefit is discernible are charged to profit or loss. The Company had no measurable rehabilitation obligations for the years presented.

Other provisions

Provisions are recognized for liabilities of uncertain timing or amount that have arisen as a result of past transactions, including legal or constructive obligations. The provision is measured at the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the obligation at the reporting date. The Company had no other provisions for the years presented.

Impairment

At the end of each reporting period, the carrying amounts of the Company’s long-lived assets are reviewed to determine whether there is any indication that those assets are impaired. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment, 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 between knowledgeable and willing parties. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset.

If the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount and the impairment loss is recognized in profit or loss. For an asset that does not generate largely independent cash inflows, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash generating unit (“CGU”) to which the asset belongs.

Where an impairment subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (or CGU) is increased to the revised estimated 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 CGU) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized immediately in profit or loss.

Equipment

Equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided for using the following methods at the following rates per annum:

Transportation equipment (straight line) 10%
Machinery and equipment (straight line) 10%
Computer equipment (declining balance) 30%
Leaseholds (declining balance) 20%
Furniture and equipment (straight line) 20%

During the year ended May 31, 2021, the Company updated its depreciation method from declining balance to straight line and changed rates used in the calculation. There was no significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.

Foreign currency translation

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated at the exchange rate in effect at the date of the transaction. Foreign denominated monetary assets and liabilities are translated to their Canadian dollar equivalents using foreign exchange rates prevailing at the statement of financial position date. Non-monetary items are translated into Canadian dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the respective transaction dates. Revenues and expenses are translated at average rates for the period, except for amortization, which is translated on the same basis as the related asset. Exchange gains or losses arising on foreign currency translation are reflected in profit or loss for the year.

Share-based payments

The fair value of options granted is recognized as stock-based compensation expense with a corresponding increase in reserves. An individual is classified as an employee when the individual is an employee for legal or tax purposes (direct employee) or provides services similar to those performed by a direct employee. Consideration paid on the exercise of stock options is credited to capital stock and the fair value of the options is reclassified from reserves to share capital.

The Company accounts for the granting of stock options and direct awards of stock to employees, directors and nonemployees using the fair value method whereby all awards will be recorded at fair value on the date of grant. Stock based compensation awards are calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Compensation expense is recognized immediately for past services and pro rata for future services over the vesting period with a corresponding increase in reserves.

Income (loss) per share

The Company presents basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share data for its common shares. Basic earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the loss attributable to common shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed similar to basic earnings (loss) per share except that the weighted average shares outstanding are increased to include additional shares for the assumed exercise of stock options and warrants, if dilutive. The number of additional shares is calculated by assuming that outstanding stock options and warrants were exercised and that the proceeds from such exercises were used to acquire common stock at the average market price during the reporting periods. There was no dilutive effect for the years presented.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d…)

Share capital

Common shares are classified as share capital. Incremental costs, net of tax effects, directly attributable to the issue of common shares are recognized as a deduction from equity. Common shares issued for consideration other than cash are valued based on their market value at the date the shares are issued.

The Company has adopted a residual value method with respect to the measurement of shares and warrants issued as private placement units. The residual value method first allocates value to the more easily measurable component based on fair value and then the residual value, if any, to the less easily measurable component. The Company considers the fair value of common shares issued in the private placements to be the more easily measurable component. The balance, if any, is allocated to the attached warrants. Any fair value attributed to the warrants is recorded as reserves.

Income taxes

Current tax is the expected tax payable or receivable on the local taxable income or loss for the year, using local tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the financial position reporting date, and includes any adjustments to tax payable or receivable in respect of previous years.

Deferred income tax is recognized in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they reverse, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the financial position reporting date. Deferred tax is not recognized for temporary differences which arise on the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting, nor taxable profit or loss.

A deferred tax asset is recognized for unused tax losses, tax credits and deductible temporary differences, to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be utilized. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realized.

Related party transactions

Parties are considered to be related if one party has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the party in making financial and operating decisions. Related parties may be individuals or corporate entities. A transaction is considered to be a related party transaction when there is a transfer of resources or obligations between related parties.

New standards, interpretations and amendments to existing standards not yet effective

There are no new standards or amendments to standards and interpretations issued by the IASB that are not yet effective that would be expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Company.

(b) Equity Investment and Advances in/to Altamura

During year ended May 31, 2021, the Company advanced to and/or paid on behalf of Altamura $nil (2020 - $262,631), received re-payments of $nil (2020 - $76,355), accrued interest owed of $nil (2020 - $66,801) and allocated $nil (2020 - $933,673) (Note 5) to the acquisition of Altamura for total outstanding advances of $nil (2020 - $nil) (the “Advances”). The Advances bore interest of 12% and were due within 90 days of request of the Company.

During year ended May 31, 2021, the Company charged Altamura $nil (2020 - $52,500) for management services and allocated $nil (2020 - $401,625) (Note 5) to the acquisition of Altamura for total outstanding management services including GST of $nil (2020 - $nil).

The Company entered into three agreements with Altamura dated effective September 27, 2018: (i) an option agreement, as amended, (the “Altamura Option Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company acquired a three year option (the “Option”), the exercise of which was approved by the shareholders of the Company and the TSX-V, to acquire all of the equity in Altamura not already held by the Company, in consideration for 39,800,000 shares of the Company; (ii) a loan agreement, as amended, (the “Altamura Loan Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to lend up to US$700,000 to Altamura, inclusive of Advances to date, but exclusive of interest and management services, and (iii) an amended and restated share option agreement (the “Advances Conversion Agreement”) pursuant to which, in the event that the Company did not exercise the Option, the Company could convert all Advances to Altamura into common shares of Altamura at a price of US$0.057 per share at any time within the first six months after the expiry of the Option. The Advances were secured by promissory notes and bore interest of 12% per annum. Prior to its acquisition by the Company, Altamura was considered to be a related party by virtue of share ownership by companies controlled by key management or their family members (Note 12).

The Company exercised its option as per the Altamura Option Agreement on March 2, 2020 and issued 39,800,000 common shares, at a value of $0.31 per share, for the acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding shares of Altamura and its subsidiaries. The subsidiaries included: the then 67% owned Mexican subsidiary, XG; a wholly owned Mexican subsidiary, Desarrollos; and the 50% owned Bahamian subsidiary, Ruero. The main asset of the companies acquired is the interest in the Santo Tomas Properties in Mexico (Note 6) owned by XG.

For accounting purposes, the acquisition was treated as an asset acquisition. As such, effective as at the date of closing, the fair value assigned to the identified assets acquired and liabilities assumed are presented below:

5. CERRO PRIETO ROYALTY

Pursuant to the sale of the Company’s interest in the Cerro Prieto Property to Goldgroup in fiscal 2013, Goldgroup agreed to pay to the Company a production royalty (the “Production Royalty”) quarterly in arrears. The Production Royalty, payable for each month in which the monthly average of the daily PM London gold fix is in excess of US$1,250 per ounce, is calculated at the rate of 20% of the dollar value of that excess for each ounce of gold produced from the property during that month, to a maximum royalty of US$90 per ounce. This Production Royalty will be payable for each ounce of the first 90,000 ounces of gold produced from the Property (approximately 77,000 ounces have been produced as at May 31, 2021).

During the year ended May 31, 2021, the Company received or accrued $1,520,615 (2020 - $890,072) in royalty revenue.

6. EXPLORATION AND EVALUATION ASSETS (cont’d…)

(a) Santo Tomas Properties, Sinaloa State, Mexico

Papago 17, La China II and AMP Santo Tomas Red 1 Concessions

The Company, through MX, holds a 77.5% interest in each of the Papago 17, La China II and AMP Santo Tomas Red 1 concessions (collectively, the “Santo Tomas Properties”) which are contiguous to the concessions held by XG which cover the known core of the Santo Tomas mineralized structure (the “Core Concessions”). The Santo Tomas Properties were acquired for a total cash payment of $47,247 and the issuance of 2,000,000 common shares, valued at $240,000. All three concessions comprising the Santo Tomas Properties are subject to a 2% net smelter royalty (“NSR”).

Rossy Concession

In fiscal 2020, the Company, through MX, entered into a letter agreement (the “Rossy Agreement”) for the acquisition of an 80% interest in the Rossy mineral concession, which is also contiguous to the Santo Tomas Properties (hereafter included within the term “Santo Tomas Properties”). Following the approval by Mexican tax authorities of a payment plan for the payment by the vendor of accrued concession duties (approved), the Company and the vendor will enter into and register a formal agreement for the transfer of the interest to the Company, pursuant to which the Company will pay the balance of the consideration of US$125,000, to be paid over two years (US$20,000 paid), issue 300,000 common shares, and agree to the granting to third parties of an aggregate 1.5% NSR. As at May 31, 2021, $nil (2020 - $29,559) had been reclassified from deferred acquisition costs to acquisition costs.

Core Concessions

In fiscal 2019, the Company entered into a purchase agreement (“Data Agreement”), as amended, pursuant to which the Company acquired geological data, analysis and models related to the Santo Tomas Properties and the Core Concessions in consideration for 500,000 common shares, valued at $137,500, and US$500,000, to be paid by way of one payment of US$50,000 at the time of signing the agreement (paid), a second payment of US$50,000 (paid) and a final payment of US$400,000. The final payment of US$400,000 payment is due upon the direct or indirect sale, assignment or transfer of the Core Concessions to a third party.

XG holds a registered 100% interest in the Core Concessions. The registration of this interest had previously been impeded by a 2016 judgment (the “Judgment”) from a claim by Aztec and its Mexican subsidiary, Prime Aztec Mexicana, S.A. de C.V. against Compania Minera Ruero, S.A. de C.V. (“CMR”), the then registered holder of the Core Concessions, Fierce Investments Ltd. (“Fierce”), and Ruero. The Judgment and a related annotation in the Mexican Public Registry of Mining (the “PRM”) were nullified in 2019. On December 20, 2019, the transfer of the Core Concessions from CMR to XG was registered in the PRM.

(a) Santo Tomas Properties, Sinaloa State, Mexico (cont’d…)

Core Concessions (cont’d…)

On November 8, 2019, the Company exercised its option (the “Aztec Share Option”) to purchase 40,000,000 shares of Aztec (the “Aztec Shares”) held by Fierce, being greater than 90% of the issued and outstanding shares of Aztec. The Aztec Shares constitute the primary consideration paid by Aztec in the transaction which was the basis of Aztec’s claim that resulted in the Judgement. Aztec disputed Fierce’s ownership of the Aztec Shares, which dispute was decided in favour of Fierce by the Superior Court of the State of Arizona. Pursuant to an assignment agreement dated September 3, 2019, the Company took an assignment of Altamura’s right to purchase the Aztec Shares under the Aztec Share Option in consideration for the reimbursement of Fierce’s legal fees related to Fierce’s legal action in Arizona, and of the consideration paid for the grant of the Aztec Share Option. On October 1, 2019, at a meeting of the shareholders of Aztec held pursuant to an order of the Superior Court of Arizona, Craig Dalziel, CEO of the Company, was elected as the sole director of Aztec. In fiscal 2020, $202,459 had been recorded as acquisition costs for the acquisition of Aztec. The acquisition of Aztec was for its claim to the Santo Tomas property; no value was attributed to other assets or liabilities of the company.

In fiscal 2020, the Company acquired Altamura (Note 4) and its related subsidiaries, whose main asset is its interest in the Core Concessions. The acquisition value attributed to the properties (exploration and evaluation assets) was $24,412,316 (Note 4(b)).

During the year ended May 31, 2021, the Company acquired an additional 1% (2020 - 4%) of XG for conversion of intercompany debt of $200,000 (2020 - $1,000,000) into equity resulting in a charge to deficit of $199,440 (2020 - $885,850).

17. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENT RISK AND CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to identify, pursue and complete the exploration and development of mineral properties, to maintain financial strength, to protect its ability to meet its on-going liabilities, to continue as a going concern, to maintain creditworthiness and to maximize returns for shareholders over the long term. The Company does not have any externally imposed capital requirements to which it is subject. Capital of the Company comprises shareholders’ equity. There has been no significant change in the Company’s objectives, policies and processes for managing its capital during the year ended May 31, 2021.

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. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may attempt to issue new shares. The Company’s investment policy is to invest its cash in financial instruments in high credit quality financial institutions with terms to maturity selected with regards to the expected timing of expenditures from continuing operations.

Fair value hierarchy

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 marketplace.

Fair value hierarchy (cont’d…)

Level 3 - Valuations in this level are those with inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.

Management of Financial Risk

The carrying value of cash, receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and derivative liability approximated their fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments. Cash is measured at a level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. The Goldgroup shares recorded in marketable securities are measured at a level 1 of the fair value hierarchy and the BC Co. shares recorded in marketable securities are measured using level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Investments classified within level 3 have significant unobservable inputs. As observable prices are not available for these securities, the Company has used valuation techniques to derive the fair value. The investments are based on cost at time of acquisition.

The Company’s financial instruments are exposed to certain financial risks, which include credit risk, liquidity risk, and market risk.

Credit Risk

Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will fail to discharge an obligation and cause the other party to incur a financial loss. The Company’s primary exposure to credit risk is on its bank accounts and receivables. The bank accounts are mainly held with a major Canadian bank and this minimizes the risk to the Company. Receivables are due primarily from Goldgroup.

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not have sufficient funds to meet its financial obligations when they are due. The Company manages liquidity risk through the management of its capital structure and financial leverage as outlined above. The Company monitors its ability to meet its short-term 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.

Foreign Exchange Risk

The Company’s property interests in Mexico make it subject to foreign currency fluctuations, 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 currencies. The effect of a 10% change in the foreign exchange rate on the monetary balances held in foreign currencies at May 31, 2021 is approximately $212,000.

Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company is not exposed to significant interest rate risk.

Management of Industry Risk

The Company is engaged in mineral exploration and manages related industry risk issues directly. The Company may be at risk for environmental issues and fluctuations in commodity pricing as well as changes in foreign government policy. Management is not aware of and does not anticipate any significant environmental remediation costs or liabilities in respect of its current operations; however, it is not possible to be certain that all aspects of environmental issues affecting the Company, if any, have been fully determined or resolved.
