Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements Three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 (Unaudited - Expressed in Canadian dollars, unless otherwise stated, except per share, options or warrant)

1. Nature of Operations and Going Concern

Rathdowney Resources Ltd. ("Rathdowney" or the "Company") is a public company incorporated on April 3, 2008, under the laws of the Province of British Columbia, Canada. The address of the Company's corporate office is the 14th Floor, 1040 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, BC, Canada V6E 4H1.

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements (the "Interim Financial Statements") of the Company as at for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, comprise the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the "Group" and individually as "Group entities"). Rathdowney Resources Ltd. is the ultimate legal parent entity of the Group.

The Group is in the process of advancing its mineral property interests and has not yet determined whether its mineral property interests contain economically recoverable mineral reserves. The Group has outlined mineral resources and completed a Preliminary Economic Assessment, which indicates strong potential financial returns for an operation at Project Olza. If the Group's on-going technical work confirms these projections, the Project could possibly be economic.

The Group's continuing operations are entirely dependent upon the existence of economically recoverable mineral reserves, the ability of the Group to obtain the necessary financing to continue the exploration and development of its mineral property interests and to obtain the permits necessary to mine, and on future profitable production or proceeds from the disposition of its mineral property interests. General market conditions for junior exploration companies have resulted in depressed equity prices. These Interim Financial Statements have been prepared on a going concern basis that contemplates the realization of assets and discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future.

As at June 30, 2021, the Group had cash of $156,780 (December 31, 2020 –$490,559), a working capital deficiency, and a shareholders' deficiency. Of the total current liabilities of the Group at June 30, 2021 $8,936,593 (December 31, 2020 – $8,414,402) are payable to related parties (note 10).

These material uncertainties cast significant doubt on the ability of the Group to continue as a going concern.

The Group is continually seeking opportunities for additional funding and has reasonable expectation that it will succeed in raising additional funds when necessary. However, there can be no assurance that the Group will obtain the required additional financial resources to continue its current operational base. If the Group is unable to obtain adequate additional financing, it will need to curtail its expenditures further, until additional funds can be raised through financing activities. In the current year, the Company is taking steps to conserve cash and reduce expenses by closing a non operating subsidiary. Management believes that it is able to maintain its core mineral rights in good standing for the next 12-month period.

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements

Three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020

(Unaudited - Expressed in Canadian dollars, unless otherwise stated, except per share, options or warrant)

These Interim Financial Statements do not include any adjustments to the amounts and classification of assets and liabilities that may be necessary should the Group be unable to continue as a going concern.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

(a) Statement of compliance

These Interim Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting ("IAS 34"). Accordingly, these Interim Financial Statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") for complete financial statements for year-end reporting purposes. These Interim Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2020, which were prepared in accordance with IFRS and are publicly available at www.sedar.com. Results for the period ended June 30, 2021, are not necessarily indicative of future results.

These Interim Financial Statements were authorized for issuance by the Audit Committee of the Company on August 20, 2021.

(b) Significant accounting estimates and judgments

The preparation of Interim Financial Statements in conformity with IAS 34 requires management to make judgments, estimates, and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from such estimates. There was no change in the use of estimates and judgments during the current period as compared to those described in note 2 of the Company's audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020.

(c) Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Amendments to IAS 16, Property, Plant and Equipment

The amendments clarify the accounting for the net proceeds from selling any items produced while bringing an item of property, plant and equipment ("PPE") to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management. The amendments prohibit entities from deducting amounts received from selling items produced from the cost of PPE while the Group is preparing the asset for its intended use. Instead, sales proceeds and the cost of producing these items will be recognized in profit or loss. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2022, with earlier application permitted. The amendments apply retrospectively, but only to assets brought to the location and condition necessary for them to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management on or after the beginning of the earliest period presented in the financial statements in which the Group first applies the amendments.

6. Mineral Property Interests

The Company holds interests in mineral exploration concessions in the Republic of Poland.

(a) Poland

In 2010, Rathdowney acquired the contiguous Zawiercie and Rokitno exploration concessions, collectively named "Project Olza", in the Upper Silesian zinc-lead mining district in the Republic of Poland through its wholly owned subsidiary.

The Rokitno concession was issued to Rathdowney Polska by the Ministry of the Environment in May 2010 and the Zawiercie concession was issued in July 2010, which allowed for exploration for zinc and lead for a period of five years. The permits and the associated usufruct agreements grant right of surface access to the permit holder; however, this must be undertaken by arrangement with individual landowners, who must be informed in writing in advance of any drilling activity on their land.

Rathdowney Polska also signed an agreement for use of the historical geological information on its Rokitno and Zawiercie concessions. Additionally, Rathdowney Polska has submitted updates to the geological documentation required (in addition to other legal requirements) for the subsequent granting/renewal of a concession for mineral exploitation to the Minister of Environment. In November 2014, the Zawiercie and Rokitno concessions were renewed to May 2020. In October 2020, the Zawiercie concession was renewed for an additional five years until October 2025. The Company expects to further extend the Rokitno concession in the ordinary course of business.

The Company also has acquired rights the Zawiercie concession outside of the area of geological documentation for five years and the Company has applied for rights to the Rokitno concession outside of the area of geological documentation.
