Durango Resources Inc. (An Exploration Stage Company) NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Expressed in Canadian Dollars) For the Period Ended April 30, 2021 (Unaudited)
1. Nature of Business and Going Concern
Durango Resources Inc. (the “Company” or “Durango”) was incorporated on August 21, 2006 under the Business Corporations Act of British Columbia and is listed on the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSXV”) under the symbol “DGO”. The Company is engaged in the business of exploring precious and base mineral properties in Canada. At April 30, 2021, the Company is considered an exploration stage company. The head office and principal address of the Company is Suite 248, 515 West Pender Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6B 6H5.
These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis with the assumption that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. As at April 30, 2021, the Company has not recognized revenue, has working capital of $582,609 (July 31, 2020 – $206,822), has accumulated operating losses of $8,338,635 (July 31, 2020 – $7,628,413) since its inception, and has not yet determined whether its properties contain mineral reserves that are economically recoverable. The continuation of the Company is dependent upon the continuing financial support of shareholders, obtaining long-term financing to complete exploration and development and the existence of economically recoverable reserves, confirmation of the Company's interest in the underlying mineral claims and upon future profitable production. While the Company is expanding its best efforts to achieve the above plans, there is significant doubt regarding the outcome of these matters. Based on its current plans, budgeted expenditures, and cash requirements, the Company does have sufficient cash to finance its current plans. The Company expects that it may need to raise additional capital to accomplish its business plan over the next several years. The Company may seek additional financing through equity financing. There can be no assurance as to the availability or terms upon which such financing might be available. These material uncertainties may cast significant doubt about the ability of the Company’s going concern.
These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts and classification of liabilities that might arise from this uncertainty.
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 effect on the Company’s business or ability to raise funds.
2. Basis of Presentation
These financial statements, including comparatives have been prepared using accounting policies consistent with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). The financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for financial instruments classified as fair value through profit and loss, which are stated at their fair value. In addition, these financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting except for cash flow information. The financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, which is the Company’s functional currency.

3. Significant Accounting Policies
Significant Accounting Estimates and Judgments
The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of expenses during the reporting year. Actual outcomes could differ from these estimates. These financial statements include estimates which, by their nature, are uncertain. The impacts of such estimates are pervasive throughout the financial statements and may require accounting adjustments based on future occurrences. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the year in which the estimate is revised and future periods if the revision affects both current and future years. These estimates are based on historical experience, current and future economic conditions, and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
Critical Accounting Estimates
Significant assumptions about the future and other sources of estimation uncertainty that management has made at the end of the reporting period, that could result in a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the event that actual results differ from assumptions made, relate to, but are not limited to, the following:
- i) The carrying value and impairment charge, if any, of the exploration and evaluation assets. ii) The estimated amounts of reclamation and environmental obligations.
Critical Accounting Judgments
Critical accounting judgments are accounting policies that have been identified as being complex or involving subjective judgments or assessments. The Company’s management made the following critical accounting judgments:
-
i) The determination of deferred tax assets and liabilities recorded in the financial statements. ii) The determination of whether technical feasibility and commercial viability can be demonstrated for its exploration and evaluation assets. Once technical feasibility and commercial viability of a property can be demonstrated, it is reclassified from exploration and evaluation assets and subject to different accounting treatment. As at January 31, 2021 management had determined that no reclassification of exploration and evaluation assets was required.
-
iii) The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, as disclosed in Note 1.

3. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash, bank deposits, cashable guaranteed investment certificates and all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase. Due to the short time to maturity of cash equivalents, their carrying amounts approximate their fair value.
Exploration and Evaluation Assets
The Company is in the exploration stage in respect to its exploration and evaluation assets.
Pre-exploration costs are expensed in the year in which they are incurred.
Once the legal right to explore a property has been acquired, costs directly related to exploration and evaluation expenditures are recognized and capitalized, in addition to the acquisition costs. These direct expenditures include such costs as materials used, geological and geophysical evaluation, surveying costs, drilling costs, payments made to contractors and depreciation on property and equipment during the exploration phase. Costs not directly attributable to exploration and evaluation activities, including general administrative overhead costs, are expensed in the year in which they occur.
Where the Company has entered into option agreements for the acquisition of an interest in exploration and evaluation assets which provided for periodic payments, such amounts unpaid are not recorded as a liability since they are payable entirely at the Company's discretion. Although the Company has taken steps to verify title to the exploration and evaluation assets in which it has an interest, these procedures do not guarantee the Company’s title. The exploration and evaluation assets may be subject to prior undetected agreements or transfers and title may be affected by such defects.
When a project is deemed to no longer have commercially viable prospects to the Company, exploration and evaluation expenditures in respect of that project are deemed to be impaired. As a result, those exploration and evaluation expenditure costs, in excess of estimated recoveries, are written-off to profit or loss.
The Company assesses exploration and evaluation assets for impairment at each reporting date.
Once the technical feasibility and commercial viability of extracting the mineral resource has been determined, the property is considered to be a mine under development and is classified as “mine development cost”. Exploration and evaluation assets are tested for impairment before the assets are transferred to development properties.
Any incidental revenue earned in connection with exploration activities is applied as a reduction to capitalized exploration costs. Any operational income earned in connection with exploration activities is recognized in profit or loss.
Mineral exploration and evaluation expenditures are classified as intangible assets.

3. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Exploration and Evaluation Assets (continued)
The Company may occasionally enter into farm-out arrangements, whereby the Company will transfer part of a mineral interest, as consideration, for an agreement by the farmee to meet certain exploration and evaluation expenditures which would have otherwise been undertaken by the Company. The Company does not record any expenditures made by the farmee on its behalf. Any cash consideration received from the agreement is credited against the costs previously capitalized to the mineral interest given up by the Company, with any excess cash accounted for as a gain on disposal.
Exploration costs renounced due to flow-through share subscription agreements remain capitalized. However, for corporate income tax purposes, the Company has no right to claim these costs as tax-deductible expenses.
Mining exploration tax credits for certain exploration expenditures incurred in BC and Quebec are treated as a reduction of the exploration and development costs of the respective resource property. The amounts are recorded in the year received.
A full list of all the Significant Accounting Policies can be found in the Annual Audited Financial Statements dated November 27, 2020 as filed on www.sedar.com.

6. Capital Disclosures
The Company includes cash and equity, comprising of issued common shares, contributed surplus, accumulated other comprehensive income and deficit, in the definition of capital.
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, exploration and development 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 properties in which the Company currently has an interest are in the exploration stage; as such the Company is dependent upon external financings to fund activities. In order to carry out planned exploration and pay for administrative costs, the Company will spend its existing working capital and raise additional funds as needed. 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 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.
There were no changes in the Company’s approach to capital management during the period ended April 30, 2021. The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements.

9. Financial Instruments
The Company's financial instruments are exposed to certain financial risks, including credit risk, interest rate risk, liquidity risk and currency risk.
a. Credit risk
The Company is exposed to credit risk by holding cash. The maximum exposure to credit risk is equal to the carrying value of the financial assets. This risk is minimized by holding the investments in large Canadian financial institutions or with Canadian governments. The Company has minimal accounts receivable exposure, and its various refundable credits are due from Canadian governments.
b. Interest rate risk
The Company is exposed to interest rate risk because of fluctuating interest rates. Fluctuations in market rates do not have a significant impact on the Company's operations.
c. Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company is unable to meet its financial obligations as they come due. The Company manages this risk by careful management of its working capital to ensure its expenditures will not exceed available resources. As at April 30, 2021 the Company was holding cash of $504,476 to satisfy accounts payable and due to related parties of $121,830. The Company plans to obtain cash inflows from share capital financings. There can be no guarantee that management’s efforts to raise additional funds will be successful.
d. Commodity price risk
The Company’s ability to raise capital to develop its mineral properties is subject to risks associated with fluctuations in the market prices of precious metals, graphite, base metals and rare earth elements.
e. Currency rate risk
The Company’s functional currency is the Canadian dollar. There is no significant foreign exchange risk to the Company. The Company does not engage in any form of derivative or hedging instruments.
