Phenom Resources Corp. (formerly First Vanadium Corp.) Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements For the three months ended February 28, 2022 and February 28, 2021 (Unaudited - Expressed in Canadian dollars)
1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN
Phenom Resources Corp. (formerly First Vanadium Corp.) (the “Company” or “Phenom Resources”) is in the business of the acquisition, exploration and evaluation of mineral properties, and either joint venturing or developing these properties further or disposing of them when the evaluation is completed. The Company has an interest in properties located in Nevada and Arizona, USA. On September 20, 2018, the Company changed its name from Cornerstone Metals Inc. to First Vanadium Corp. On July 6, 2021, the Company changed its name from First Vanadium Corp. to Phenom Resources Corp. The Company is incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia). The common shares of the Company trade on the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSX-V”) under the symbol “PHNM”. The Company’s corporate head office is located at 880-580 Hornby Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that the Company will be able to meet its obligations and continue its operations for the next twelve months. Realization values may be substantially different from carrying values as shown and these consolidated financial statements do not give effect to adjustments that would be necessary to the carrying values and classification of assets and liabilities should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. Such adjustments could be material. At February 28, 2022, the Company had not yet achieved profitable operations, had a deficit of $16,893,719 (2021 - $16,698,382) since inception, a working capital of $2,248,034 (2021 - $283,610), and expects to incur further losses in the development of its business. These circumstances comprise a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Therefore, the Company may be unable to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to obtain the necessary financing to explore its exploration property interests and to meet its ongoing levels of corporate overhead and discharge its liabilities as they come due. Although the Company has been successful in the past in obtaining financing, there is no assurance that it will be able to obtain adequate financing in the future or that such financing will be on terms advantageous to the Company. Subsequent to February 28, 2022, the Company closed a private placement for gross proceeds of $3,000,000 (Note 11).
2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Statement of compliance
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) applicable to the preparation of interim financial statements, including IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting. The condensed interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended November 30, 2021, which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB.
The Company uses the same accounting policies and methods of computations as in the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended November 30, 2021.
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements were approved by the board of directors on April 29, 2022.
Basis of presentation
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for certain financial instruments which are measured at fair value. Additionally, these consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting except for cash flow information.
3. FUTURE ACCOUNTING STANDARDS NOT YET EFFECTIVE
IAS 37–Provisions (“IAS 37”)
IAS 37 has been amended to clarify (i) the meaning of “costs to fulfil a contract”, and (ii) that, before a separate provision for an onerous contract is established, an entity recognizes any impairment loss that has occurred on assets used in fulfilling the contract, rather than on assets dedicated to that contract. These amendments are effective for periods beginning on or after January 1, 2022. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this amendment.

Carlin Gold-Vanadium Property, Nevada
On September 22, 2017 the Company entered into an assignment agreement with America’s Gold Exploration Inc. (“AGEI”). Pursuant to the assignment agreement, AGEI assigned to the Company all of AGEI’s interest in an option agreement between AGEI and Golden Predator US Holding Corp. (“GPUS”) dated June 14, 2017 as amended September 12, 2017. The option agreement grants to Phenom Resources the option to acquire a 100% interest in the Carlin GoldVanadium Project (the “Property”) located in Elko Nevada.
During the year ended November 30, 2021, the Company amended the option agreement between AGEI and GPUS. The amendment focused on the extension of the Net Smelter Return (“NSR”) buy out. To compensate for the extension, the Company paid part of the remaining $1,910,000 earlier and was required to issue 1,000,000 common share purchase warrants within 3 business days of TSX Venture Exchange approval. Each warrant will be exercisable for one common share at a purchase price of CAD$0.75 per share for a period of five years from the date of issuance (issued on July 9, 2021). The value of $680,843 attributed to the warrants was estimated using the Black-Scholes pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions: share price - $0.83; exercise price - $0.75; risk-free rate – 0.96%; expected life – 5.0 years; expected volatility – 116%; and expected dividends – nil.
The Company under the new amendment has the right to purchase the total underlying 2% royalty at any time on or before June 30, 2023 (the “Royalty Purchase Payment Deadline”) upon payment of $4,000,000. The Royalty Purchase Payment Deadline may be extended in one year increments for up to four additional years upon the payment of $250,000 per year due on or before each of June 30, 2023, 2024, 2025 and 2026.
