The Company may, at its election, make up to one‐half of the payment for the first 0.5% through the issuance of common shares.

The Company may continue to have capital requirements in excess of its currently available resources. In the event the Company’s plans change, its assumptions change or prove inaccurate, or its capital resources in addition to projected cash flow, if any, prove to be insufficient to fund operations, the Company may be required to seek additional financing. There can be no assurance that the Company will have sufficient financing to meet its future capital requirements or that additional financing will be available on terms acceptable to the Company in the future.
OFF‐BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
The Company does not utilize off‐balance sheet arrangements.
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND OTHER INSTRUMENTS
The carrying amounts of cash and accounts payable approximate fair value because of the short‐term maturity of these items.
The Company is exposed to a variety of financial risks by virtue of its activities including credit, interest rate, liquidity, commodity price, and global economic risk.
10
a) Credit risk
Credit risk is risk of financial loss to the Company if a counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Company’s cash is held in large Canadian financial institutions and its receivables are due from the Government of Canada. As such, the Company determined that it is not exposed to significant credit risk.
b) Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company is exposed to limited interest rate risk as it only holds cash and highly liquid short‐term investments.
c) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its obligations as they come due. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on management’s ability to raise the required capital through future equity or debt issuances. The Company manages its liquidity risk by forecasting cash flows from operations and anticipating any investing and financing activities. Management and the Board of Directors are actively involved in the review, planning, and approval of significant expenditures and commitments.
d) Commodity price risk
The ability of the Company to explore and develop its exploration and evaluation assets and the future profitability of the Company are directly related to the price of base metals. The Company monitors these metal prices to determine the appropriate course of action to be taken.
e) Foreign currency risk
The Company is not exposed to significant foreign currency risk on fluctuations related to cash and accounts payable liabilities that are denominated in United States dollars (“US$”).The Company does not use derivatives or other techniques to manage foreign currency risk.
f) Global economic risk
General global economic conditions, including, without limitation, general levels of economic activity, fluctuations in the market prices of securities, participation by other investors in the financial markets, economic uncertainty, national and international political circumstances, natural disasters, public health crises (such as the recent global outbreak of a novel coronavirus, COVID‐19, refer to note below) and other events outside of our control, may affect the activities of the Company.
COVID‐19
Since December 31, 2019, the outbreak of the novel strain of coronavirus, specifically identified as “COVID‐19”, has resulted in governments worldwide enacting emergency measures to combat the spread of the virus. Global equity markets have experienced significant volatility and weakness.
The Company may face future disruption to operations, supply chain delays, travel and trade restrictions and impact on economic activity in affected countries or regions can be expected and can be difficult to quantify. Such pandemics or diseases represent a serious threat to maintaining a skilled workforce industry and could be a major health‐care challenge for the Company. There can be no assurance that the Company’s personnel will not be impacted by these pandemic diseases. In addition, the COVID‐19 pandemic has created a dramatic slowdown in the global economy. The duration of the COVID‐19 outbreak and the resultant travel restrictions, social distancing, Government response actions, business closures and business disruptions, can all have an impact on the Company’s operations and access to capital. There can be no assurance that the Company will not be impacted by adverse consequences that may be brought about by the COVID‐19 pandemic on global financial markets may

reduce resource prices, share prices and financial liquidity and thereby that may severely limit the financing capital available.
