OROCO RESOURCE CORP. NOTES TO THE CONDENSED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Expressed in Canadian Dollars) (Unaudited) November 30, 2020
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 in the exploration stage and has not yet determined whether its exploration and evaluation assets contain reserves that are economically recoverable. 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.
The Company’s exploration and evaluation assets consist of the Santo Tomas, Xochipala, and Salvador properties in Mexico. The outlook for the Company is tied to realizing on the value of its exploration and evaluation assets and marketable securities, raising the financing necessary to maintain operations thereafter, and ultimately on generating future profitable operations. The Company has incurred ongoing losses. Subsequent to November 30, 2020, the Company raised additional funds from the issuance of capital stock (Note 15). Management estimates it will have sufficient funds to operate for the upcoming twelve months.
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not reflect adjustments to the carrying value of assets and liabilities, the reported expenses and balance sheet classifications used that would be necessary if the going concern assumption were not appropriate.
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 condensed interim consolidated financial statements, including comparatives, have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") and the interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee ("IFRIC"s). They do not include all disclosures required by International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") for annual financial statements, and, therefore, should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended May 31, 2020, prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB.
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements were authorized by the Audit Committee and Board of Directors of the Company on January 29, 2021.
Basis of presentation
These condensed interim 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.

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION (cont’d…)
Functional and presentation currency
These condensed interim 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 condensed interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its direct whollyowned 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 condensed interim consolidated financial statements.
| Country of | Percentage of | ||

The Company also holds an inactive, nominal company incorporated in Canada, and 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.
Significant estimates
The preparation of these condensed interim 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.

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 condensed interim 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.

(b) Equity Investment and Advances in/to Altamura
During the six months ended November 30, 2020, the Company advanced to and/or paid on behalf of Altamura $Nil (2019 - $223,146) and accrued interest owed of $Nil (2019 - $45,686) for total outstanding advances of $Nil (May 31, 2020 - $Nil) (the “Advances”).
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.
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 include: the then 67% owned Mexican subsidiary, XG.; the 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).
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:

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
During the year ended May 31, 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”). Upon approval by Mexican tax authorities of a payment plan for the payment by the vendor of accrued concession duties, 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, issue 300,000 common shares, and agree to the granting to third parties of an aggregate 1.5% NSR.
Core Concessions
During the year ended May 31, 2020, 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.

6. EXPLORATION AND EVALUATION ASSETS (cont’d…)
(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. Acquisition costs of $202,459 were recorded 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 was $24,412,316 (Note 4(b)).
Subsequent to the acquisition of Altamura, the Company acquired an additional 4% of XG for conversion of intercompany debt of $1,000,000 into equity resulting in a charge to deficit of $885,850 (Note 10).
Altamura also holds an option to acquire all of the remaining interest in XG held by the sole other shareholder of XG (currently 29%) for US$16,000,000 (the “XG Option”), subject to a 1% NSR (the “Option NSR”), 0.5% of which may be bought back for US$2,000,000. The Company’s interest in the Core Concessions is subject to an NSR of 1.5%, in favour of ATM Mining Corp., a company owned by the spouse of the Company’s CEO, Craig Dalziel, and an arm’s length third party (the “ATM NSR”). 0.5% of the ATM NSR will be cancelled if the Option NSR is granted, with the result that the Core Concessions will, upon the buy-back of half of the Option NSR, if granted, be subject to a maximum 1.5% NSR.
Altamura has certain fee obligations, as amended, (the “Fee Agreement”), related to the Core Concessions as follows:
(i) US$600,000 payable within twelve months of title to the Core Concessions being registered to XG in the PRM (occurred) (US$200,000 has been paid as at November 30, 2020). As at November 30, 2020, the Company has $519,066 (US$400,000) (May 31, 2020 - $688,380 (US$500,000)) owed due to the registration of the Core Concessions (Note 8).
Altamura has certain contingent fee obligations (the “Contingent Fee Agreement”), related to the Core Concessions as follows:
-
(i) upon the direct or indirect sale, assignment or transfer of the Core Concessions in a transaction intended to be final disposition:
-
A. pay 10% of the sale price, to a maximum of US$3,600,000, (inclusive of the first US$600,000); and
-
B. pay 1.5% of the sale price, to a maximum of US$4,100,000, of which up to $1,000,000 is payable to David Rose, an officer of the Company.

14. 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 six months ended November, 2020.
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.

14. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENT RISK AND CAPITAL MANAGEMENT (cont’d…)
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, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities 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. The bank accounts are mainly held with a major Canadian bank and this minimizes the risk to the Company.
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 Company does not invest in derivatives to mitigate these risks. The effect of a 10% change in the foreign exchange rate on the cash held in foreign currencies at November 30, 2020 is $136,000.
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.
