1. NATURE AND CONTINUANCE OF OPERATIONS

Playfair Mining Ltd. (the "Company") is an exploration stage company incorporated under the laws of the Province of British Columbia on August 26, 1988. The Company has not yet determined whether its exploration and evaluation assets contain economic ore reserves.

The Company's registered and records office is 2900-595 Burrard Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") with the assumption that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. A number of alternatives including, but not limited to completing a financing, are being evaluated with the objective of funding ongoing activities and obtaining additional working capital. The continuing operations of the Company are dependent upon its ability to continue to raise adequate financing and to commence profitable operations in the future and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations as they become due. These material uncertainties may cast significant doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

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 ability to raise funds.

The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in existence.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION

Statement of compliance

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements, including comparatives, have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standards ("IAS") 34 'Interim Financial Reporting' ("IAS 34") using accounting policies consistent with the International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") and Interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee ("IFRIC").

Basis of presentation

These condensed interim financial statements have been prepared on the basis of accounting policies and methods of computation consistent with those applied in the Company's February 28, 2021 annual financial statements.

3. ADVANCES RECEIVABLE

The Company advances funds to a management company owned by a former officer. The management company incurs administration expenditures and settles certain exploration expenditures on behalf of the Company. At August 31, 2021 the Company had advanced $23,379 (February 28, 2021 - $81,889). The advances were unsecured and non-interest bearing.

Title to mineral properties

Title to mineral properties involves certain inherent risks due to the difficulties of determining the validity of certain claims as well as the potential for problems arising from the frequently ambiguous conveyancing history characteristic of many mineral properties. The Company has investigated title to all of its mineral properties and, to the best of its knowledge, title to all of its properties are in good standing.

RKV Project property, Norway

On February 28, 2019, the Company had entered into an option and exploration agreement to acquire a 100% interest in the Rostvangen and Vakkerlien properties in South Central Norway ("RKV Project") from Eurasian Minerals Sweden AB ("EMX"). To acquire the properties, the Company issued 3,000,000 shares (valued at $135,000) and reimbursed EMX's government fees and licensing costs of $49,994 with a condition to the exercise of the option that the Company must incur $250,000 in exploration expenditures within one year (incurred).

Furthermore, the Company had exercised their option and issued an additional 3,000,000 shares (valued at $105,000). EMX transferred 100% of the property to the Company (March 19, 2020) and EMX will receive a 3% net smelter royalty ("NSR") on the property. Within 5 years, the Company will have the option to buy back up to 1% of the NSR for $3,000,000, leaving EMX with a 2% NSR. EMX will receive annual advance royalty ("AAR") payments of $30,000 commencing on the second anniversary of the option exercise, with the AAR payments increasing by $5,000 per year until reaching $80,000 per year.

Following exercise of the option the Company undertakes to complete a minimum of 1,000 meters of drilling in the following year and a cumulative 2,000 meters within 2 years following the option exercise. During the fiscal 2021 the agreement was amended and the Company will be required to complete a minimum of 1,000 meters of drilling within 6 months following receipt of necessary permits, licenses or consents. In addition, the Company undertakes to use commercially reasonable efforts to raise an additional $2,750,000 for advancement of the RKV Project on or before the 5th anniversary of the agreement.

No later than 2 years after the signing the Company will issue sufficient shares to EMX to bring EMX's ownership of the Company to 9.9% of issued and outstanding share capital. The Company will maintain EMX's interest in the

RKV Project property, Norway (cont'd...)

Company, at no additional cost to EMX until the Company has raised a cumulative $3,000,000 in equity to fund exploration and development on the properties or until 5 years after Exchange approval, whichever occurs first. Thereafter, EMX will have the right to participate pro-rata in future financings at its own cost to maintain its interest in the Company. During the fiscal 2021 the Company issued 3,314,911 shares (valued at $397,790) to bring EMX's ownership of the Company to 9.9%. During the six month period ended August 31, 2021 the Company issued 1,214,884 shares (valued at $242,977) to bring EMX's ownership of the Company to 9.9%.

Property Exploration Costs

Additional exploration and equipment costs of $340,615 incurred on the Ox Mountain Property (Ireland) were expensed. The agreement with Bowpark Exploration (Ireland) Ltd. has been terminated and the property licenses expired during the current fiscal year. Other exploration costs of $5,801 were also incurred during fiscal 2021. The aforementioned property was still held by the Company but was written down in prior fiscal years due to inactivity.

6. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The key management personnel of the Company are the Directors, Chief Executive Officer, and the Chief Financial Officer. Included in accounts payable at August 31, 2021 is $1,143 (February 28, 2021 - $7,443) due to directors of the Company.

9. SEGMENTED INFORMATION

The Company operates in one reportable operating segment, being the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties in Norway. Geographic information is disclosed in Note 5.

10. FINANCIAL AND CAPITAL RISK MANAGEMENT

Financial instruments measured at fair value are classified into one of three levels in the fair value hierarchy according to the relative reliability of the inputs used to estimate the fair values.

The fair value of the Company's receivables, advances receivable, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their carrying values due to their short-term nature. The Company's other financial instrument, being cash, is measured at fair value using Level 1 inputs.

10. FINANCIAL AND CAPITAL RISK MANAGEMENT (cont'd…)

The Company is exposed to varying degrees to a variety of financial instrument related risks:

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of an unexpected loss if a customer or third party to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Company's cash is held at a large Canadian financial institution in interest bearing accounts. The Company has no investment in asset backed commercial paper. Receivables consist of receivables due from the government of Canada and amounts due from related parties. Advances receivable are due from a company owned by a former officer of the Company.

Liquidity risk

The Company's approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet liabilities when they come due. As at August 31, 2021, the Company had a cash balance of $1,103,371 (February 28, 2021 - $32,330) to settle current liabilities of $157,630 (February 28, 2021 - $348,990). To maintain liquidity, the Company is currently investigating financing opportunities and new exploration projects. Current market conditions make the present environment for raising additional equity financing unfavourable and there can be no assurance these efforts will be successful in the future. All of the Company's financial liabilities are subject to normal trade terms. The Company is exposed to liquidity risk.

Market risk

Market risk is the risk of loss that may arise from changes in market factors such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and commodity and equity prices. These fluctuations may be significant.

a) Interest rate risk

The Company has a limited exposure to interest rate risk.

b) Foreign currency risk

The Company does not have any balances denominated in a foreign currency and believes it has no significant foreign currency risk.

c) Price risk

The Company is exposed to price risk with respect to commodity prices. Changes in commodity prices will impact the economics of development of the Company's mineral properties. The Company closely monitors commodity prices to determine the appropriate course of action to be taken.

Capital management

The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it, based on the funds available to the Company, in order to support the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties. The Board of Directors does not establish quantitative return on capital criteria for management, but rather relies on the expertise of the Company's management to sustain future development of the business. The Company defines capital that it manages as shareholders' equity.

The properties in which the Company currently has an interest are in the exploration stage; as such the Company has historically relied on the equity markets to fund its activities. There is no certainty with respect to the Company's ability to raise capital. The Company will continue to assess new properties and seek to acquire an interest in additional properties if it feels there is sufficient geologic or economic potential and if it has adequate financial

10. FINANCIAL AND CAPITAL RISK MANAGEMENT (cont'd...)

Capital Management (cont'd…)

resources to do so. Management reviews its capital management approach on an ongoing basis and believes that this approach, given the relative size of the Company, is reasonable.

The Company currently is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements. There were no changes in the Company's approach to capital management.
