On July 15, 2020, the Company acquired, through the purchase of a Ohadi GeoEx Inc. a private Idaho corporation, four additional gold properties, The Doc, Majestic, Mammoth, and Red Cloud which lie to the south of Gold Lion’s South Orogrande property located near Dixie, Idaho.

Under the terms of the agreement under which Gold Lion will acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of the Idaho company, Gold Lion will issue an aggregate of 2,600,000 Gold Lion common shares at a price of $0.56 per share to that company’s shareholders upon closing of the transaction.

Net assets acquired
Exploration and evaluation assets $ 1,456,000
Consideration
Fair value of 2,600,000 common shares issued $ 1,456,000

Fairview Property

(v) Incur exploration expenditures of $500,000 between January 1, 2022 and December 31, 2022.

An independent geological report (the “Technical Report”) prepared by Agnes M. Koffyberg, P. Geo., who is a “Qualified Person” as defined in National Instrument 43‐101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43‐101”), was completed in relation to the Property on March 12, 2019. The Technical Report recommends that the Company conduct a two phase exploration program, comprised of: phase one, consisting of a thorough review and compilation of the prior work done on the Property, prospecting, geological mapping and soil sampling, and a IP survey; and phase two, if warranted by the results of phase one, consisting of a drilling program to examine targets generated from the results of phase one.

Cuteye Properties

On January 24, 2020, Gold Lion Resources Inc. (“Gold Lion” or the “Company”) completed an acquisition agreement and an amalgamation agreement (collectively, the “Agreements”) with a private British Columbia numbered company (“Numberco”) pursuant to which Gold Lion acquired the Cuteye Group of Properties (the “Property”). Under the Agreements, Gold Lion and Numberco completed a “three‐cornered amalgamation” pursuant to which Gold Lion issued an aggregate of 6,000,000 Gold Lion common shares to the shareholders of Numberco, and Numberco amalgamated with Gold Lion’s wholly‐owned subsidiary to continue as 1238339 BC LTD. (“123 LTD.”).

The Property includes the Mister Jay (2373 ha), Lady Jane (242 ha), Lama (69 ha), and Missus Jay (468 ha) claim blocks covering twelve mineral showings in BC’s Golden Triangle, roughly 25km southwest of Glenora, British Columbia.

Robber Gulch/South Orogrande/Erikson Ridge

On April 7, 2020 the Company’s wholly‐owned subsidiary, Gold Lion Resources (NV) Inc., entered into an option agreement to earn 100% of the South Orogrande, Robber Gulch, and Erikson Ridge gold projects (the “Projects”) in Idaho from Bronco Creek Exploration Inc., a wholly‐owned subsidiary of EMX Royalty Corp (“EMX”).

4

The three Projects comprise 4,400 hectares within regions of Idaho.

Each Project is covered by a separate exploration and option agreement (each, an “Agreement”). Pursuant to each Agreement, the Company can exercise its option to earn 100% interest in the respective Project by completing the following milestones on or before the dates indicated:

Upon the Company’s exercise of the option for a Project, EMX will retain a 3.5% NSR royalty on the Project, of which the Company may purchase up to 1.0% of the NSR royalty (the first 0.5% for 350 ounces of gold or cash equivalent prior to the third anniversary after exercise of the option, then the remaining 0.5% can be purchased at any time thereafter, until commercial production, for 1,150 ounces of gold or cash equivalent). 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. After exercise of the option, annual advance royalty (“AAR”) payments are due starting at US$30,000 on the first anniversary of the exercise of the option and increasing to US$10,000 per year to a maximum of US$80,000 per year. All AAR payments cease upon commencement of commercial production from a Project.

In addition, Gold Lion will make milestone payments for a given Project to EMX consisting of:

  • 300 ounces of gold upon completion of a Preliminary Economic Assessment,

  • 550 ounces of gold upon completion of a Pre‐Feasibility Study, and

  • 650 ounces of gold upon completion of a Feasibility Study.

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.
