Pasinex Resources Limited Notes to Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2021 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars, unless otherwise indicated) Unaudited
1. Corporate information and nature of operations
Pasinex Resources Limited (“Pasinex” or the “Company”) is a publicly listed company incorporated in British Columbia. The Company’s shares are listed on the Canadian Securities Exchange (“CSE”) under the symbol “PSE” and on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange (“FSE”) under the symbol “PNX”. The head office, principal address and registered and records office of the Company are located at 82 Richmond Street East, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, M5C 1P1.
Pasinex owns 50% of Horzum Maden Arama ve Isletme Anonim Sirketi (“Horzum AS”) which holds the producing Pinargozu high grade zinc mine, through its 100% owned subsidiary Pasinex Arama ve Madencilik Anonim Sirketi. The other 50% owner is Akmetal Madencilik Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S. (“Akmetal”), a private Turkish company. Horzum AS sells directly to zinc smelters and refiners or through commodity brokers. The Company also holds an option to acquire 80% of the Gunman high grade zinc exploration project in Nevada ("Gunman Project" - formerly the "Spur Zinc Project").
These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements were approved and authorized for issuance by the Audit Committee and Board of Directors on November 24, 2021.
Since March 2020, 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. These measures, which include the implementation of travel bans, self-imposed quarantine periods and social distancing, have caused material disruption to businesses globally resulting in an economic slowdown. Global equity markets have experienced significant volatility and weakness. Governments and central banks have reacted with significant monetary and fiscal interventions designed to stabilize economic conditions. The duration and impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is unknown at this time, as is the efficacy of the government and central bank interventions. It is not possible to reliably estimate the length and severity of these developments and the impact on the financial results and condition of the Company and its operating subsidiaries in future periods.
2. Basis of presentation and accounting policies
(a) Statement of compliance
The Company applies International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and interpretations of the IFRS Interpretations Committee ("IFRIC"). These unaudited consolidated interim condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, Interim Financial Reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information required for full annual financial statements required by IFRS as issued by the IASB.
The policies applied in these unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements are based on IFRS issued and outstanding as of November 24, 2021, the date the Board of Directors approved the statements. The same accounting policies and methods of computation are followed in these unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements as compared with the most recent annual consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2020. Any subsequent changes to IFRS that are given effect in the Company’s annual financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2021, could result in restatement of these unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements.

(b) Principles of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of Pasinex and its subsidiaries from their respective dates of control, as listed below:
| Location Nature of Operation |
Interest |
|---|---|
| 2021 2020 |
|
| Pasinex Arama ve Madencilik AS ("Pasinex Arama") Turkey Mineral exploration Pasinex Resources Nevada Limited ("Pasinex Nevada") United States Mineralexploration |
100% 100% 100% 100% |
Pasinex and its subsidiaries are collectively referred to as the “Company”. All intercompany transactions, balances and unrealized gains and losses from intercompany transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.
In addition, the Company, through Pasinex Arama, holds a joint venture interest which is equity accounted in the consolidated financial statements, as follows:
| Location Nature of Operation |
Interest |
|---|---|
| 2021 2020 |
|
| Horzum AS Turkey Mining |
50% 50% |
(c) Basis of measurement and going concern
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, under the historical cost basis, except for financial instruments classified as financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss and fair value of stock-based compensations which, are measured at their fair value. The consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars except where otherwise indicated. In addition, these consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting. Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to conform with current year presentation.
The application of the going concern concept assumes that the Company will continue in operation for at least the next twelve months and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of operations. At September 30, 2021, the Company has a net equity deficit of $12,928,584 (December 31, 2020 – $11,919,504) and has a working capital deficiency position of $3,908,724 (December 31, 2020 – working capital deficiency position of $3,310,551). The Company had a net loss of $1,009,080 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 (nine months ended September 30, 2020 – net loss of $1,101,021) and negative cash flows from operations of $558,652 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 (nine months ended September 30, 2020 – negative cash flows from operations of $711,308) and accordingly does not have enough cash on hand to fund its payables and its expected non-discretionary obligations for the next 12 months.
The Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Pasinex Arama, rely on dividends from Horzum AS, related party loans and where possible equity financing to fund their exploration and development operations. Horzum AS’s financial position has not improved in 2021 or 2020 as its joint venture partner, Akmetal has not repaid its

Pasinex Resources Limited
debt to Horzum AS. Sales of zinc product produced by the joint venture’s Pinargozu mine have continued through this period but has not generated sufficient cash flows to be able to make additional dividend payments to Pasinex Arama. As at September 30, 2021, Horzum AS has a receivable owing from Akmetal of approximately $34.7 million (note 3).
Pasinex Arama received $32,232 in dividend payments from Horzum AS for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared with $3,298 in the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Horzum AS expenses including payroll, supplies, services costs, costs related to exploration and certain taxes due have been paid by Akmetal to keep the mine operation going. In addition, Akmetal has paid on behalf of Horzum AS certain of the restructured tax liabilities.
Management has been working with Akmetal and the Kurmel family to resolve the collectability of the trade receivable owing by Akmetal to Horzum AS. Until strong credit worthiness is demonstrated by Akmetal, accounting principles required Pasinex to maintain an expected credit loss equivalent to the full balance of the receivable (note 3(a)). Receipt of the Akmetal receivable would provide significant cash flow to Pasinex through additional dividends.
As noted in note 3(a), management expects to receive the payment of the remaining dividend and other receivables that are owing from Horzum AS to Pasinex Arama following a payment of a portion of the Akmetal receivable or through the receipt of proceeds from sales. In the absence of the receipt of dividends from Horzum AS, the Company would need to secure funding from either equity financing or additional related party loans. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company received net shareholder advances of $530,000. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to generate either sufficient dividends from Horzum AS or be able to generate funds from other sources.
Accordingly, until Akmetal makes significant payments, these conditions represent a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include adjustments to the carrying values of recorded assets and liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
(d) Accounting policies not yet effective
(i) Amendments to IAS 1: Classification of Liabilities as Current of Non-Current
The amendments only affect the presentation of liabilities in the statement of financial position — not the amount or timing of recognition of any asset, liability income or expenses, or the information that entities disclose about those items. In October 2020, the IASB amended the adoption date by one year to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023 with early application permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of these amendments on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
(ii) Amendments to IAS 37: Onerous Contracts and the cost of Fulfilling a Contract
The amendment specifies that ‘cost of fulfilling’ a contract comprises the ‘costs that relate directly to the contract’. Costs that relate directly to a contract can either be incremental costs of fulfilling that contract or an allocation of other costs that relate directly to fulfilling contracts. The amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2022, with early application permitted. The Company is currently not impacted by these amendments.
(iii) Amendments to IFRS 3: Business Combinations
The amendments updated IFRS 3 for its Reference to the Conceptual Framework , added that for transactions and other events within the scope of IAS 37 or IFRIC 21, the acquirer applies IAS 37 or IFRIC 21 to identify liabilities it has assumed in a business combination, and also the acquirer does not recognize contingent assets

acquired in a business combination. The amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2022, with early application permitted. The Company is currently not impacted by these amendments.
3. Investment in Horzum AS
On January 17, 2013, the Company, through its wholly owned Turkish subsidiary, Pasinex Arama, entered into a joint venture agreement with Turkey based miner, Akmetal, to explore for zinc and other associated commodities in the region between and around Horzum and Tufanbeyli, Adana Province, Turkey. A joint venture company was formed, Horzum AS, held 50% by each joint venture partner. Horzum AS is controlled by a board consisting of equal representatives of both Pasinex and Akmetal.
In 2013, Horzum AS acquired the Pinargozu mine in Turkey. The property is located within the Turkish Provinces of Adana and has been in operation since 2016 producing high grade zinc. The investment in Horzum AS is considered a joint venture for accounting purposes and accordingly is accounted for using the equity method.
The following table shows the change in the value of the Company’s 50% investment in Horzum AS.
| As at As at September 30, 2021 December 31, 2020 |

- | $ - |
Horzum AS can distribute its profits based on terms under the joint venture agreement, which requires approval from Horzum AS’s Board of Directors. In March 2018, after approval from its Board of Directors and shareholders, Horzum AS declared a TRY 40 million dividend, of which Pasinex’s share was TRY 20 million (approximately $3.0 million using the September 30, 2021, spot rate). As of September 30, 2021, the Company had received approximately TRY 9.3 million (approximately $2.5 million using the exchange rates in effect on the dates of receipt of the distributions) and TRY 10.7 million ($1.5 million using the September 30, 2021, spot rate) remained to be paid. Due to the uncertainty of collection of the remaining dividend from Horzum AS, Pasinex has not recognized the dividend receivable and will recognize the dividend in the period in which it is paid. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, TRY 200,000 ($32,232 using the exchange rates in effect on the dates of receipt of the distributions) (nine months ended September 30, 2020, TRY 15,000 - $3,298 using the exchange rates in effect on the dates of receipt of the distributions) was received and recorded as an equity gain.
Summarized Financial Statements for Horzum AS
Summarized financial information for Horzum AS, based on its IFRS financial statements and a reconciliation with the carrying amounts in the Company’s consolidated financial statements, are set out below.

(a) Akmetal has been facing liquidity issues since 2018. This combined with nonpayment of the Akmetal receivable led management to assess the probability of credit losses to be high. As a result, as required under IFRS 9, the Company took a full impairment charge of the receivables at December 31, 2018.
The total receivable from Akmetal is approximately $34.7 million as at the end of September 30, 2021 compared with $34 million at the end of December 31, 2020. The receivable consists of a number of items including joint venture sales proceeds received and withheld by Akmetal, the value of zinc product mined at the joint venture used by Akmetal, foreign currency gains on USD denominated amounts and the value of certain loan payments made to a customer on behalf of Akmetal (note 3(c)); less the value of ongoing operating expenses paid by Akmetal.
As a result of not having collected the Akmetal receivable, Horzum AS has not been able to pay its liabilities in the normal course of operations. Horzum AS currently has approximately $5.9 million in current liabilities and a working capital deficiency of approximately $5.2 million ($5.6 million at December 31, 2020). Included within the total current liabilities are $0.6 million owed in trade payables ($1.2 million at December 31, 2020), $1.7 million owed to the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary in Turkey ($2.1 million at December 31, 2020) and $2.6 million in various taxes payable ($2.5 million at December 31, 2020). Due to the tax restructuring $3.3 million of the taxes payable has been classified as non-current ($5.0 million at December 31, 2020).
Due to Akmetal’s continued liquidity issues and continued nonpayment of the receivable, management has continued to assess the probability of credit losses to be high. As a result, the receivable remains written down to zero. See note 2(c) Basis of Measurement and Going Concern for additional discussion on the collectability

of the Akmetal receivable.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company’s subsidiary received approximately $32,232 (TRY 200,000) in dividend payments from Horzum AS. In addition, Akmetal paid approximately $1.1 million (TRY 7.1 million) in tax instalments due under the tax restructuring plan (note 3(e)) on behalf of Horzum AS.
(b) Amounts due to shareholders and related parties include the dividend payable to Pasinex Arama.
(c) Akmetal entered into a loan facility with one of its customers for overpayments received on advanced provisional invoice payments received in 2018. Akmetal did not make payments against the loan facility, but Horzum AS has paid a total of approximately US$1.75 million (approximately $2.3 million using the September 30, 2021, spot rate) to this customer, as at September 30, 2021.
(d) In 2020 and 2021, the equity loss from Horzum AS was greater than its investment value so the loss was capped as the investment could not be less than zero. The unrecognized loss will be applied against future equity gains. In the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the net income after tax of $470,449 reduced the carry forward losses.
(e) In December 2020, Horzum AS restructured its tax liabilities that were due as at August 31, 2020, as allowed by the Turkish taxation department. Horzum AS is scheduled to make instalments of its various tax debts, with each tax debt under its own schedule of 18 equal instalments. Akmetal has paid on behalf of Horzum AS certain of the instalments due in 2021. The total amount paid to September 30, 2021, is approximately (TRY) 7.1 million Turkish Lira, which is equivalent to approximately $1.1 million using the exchange rates on the dates of the payments. The joint venture did not make any instalment payments that were due under the restructuring agreements subsequent to the end of the second quarter. As part of the tax restructuring agreements the joint venture is permitted to miss two instalments, per each restructuring agreement, during each year of the restructuring agreements three-year life. Horzum AS has missed two instalments for each of the restructuring agreements to the date of these financial statements, totaling (TRY) 4.7 million Turkish Lira, except for the restructuring that has been fully repaid. Horzum AS is therefore still in compliance with each of the tax restructuring agreements. Any missed instalments will become due and payable at the end of the month following the date of the last payment date of the restructuring. An additional requirement to remain in compliance with the restructuring agreements is that all current taxes from September 1, 2020, onward must be paid when they become due. As of the date of these financial statements, Horzum AS made all of these required payments.
