Red Pine Exploration Inc. Notes to Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) For the six-month periods ended January 31, 2021 and 2020
1. Nature of Operations and Going Concern
Red Pine Exploration Inc. (the "Company" or “Red Pine”) was founded in 1936 under the laws of Ontario, Canada for the acquisition, exploration, and development of mining properties. The Company's head office and primary location of its registered records is 145 Wellington Street West, Suite 1001, Toronto, Ontario, M5J 1H8. The Company is currently in the exploration stage and has not commenced any commercial operations.
The accompanying Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared on the basis of a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business.
As at January 31, 2021, the Company had a working capital deficit of $287,723 (July 31, 2020: surplus $604,550) and an accumulated deficit of $70,127,203 (July 31 2020: $ 69,237,900). The Company had a net loss from operations for the six-month period ended January 31, 2021 of $889,303 (January 31, 2020: $2,102,704).
Effective March 15, 2021 the Company completed a one (1) new for every ten (10) old consolidation (10:1) of its Common Shares. There will be no name change in conjunction with the Consolidation. The Company will continue to trade under the symbol “RPX” on the TSXV. There were 477,222,387 Common Shares outstanding; after giving effect to the Consolidation there will be approximately 47,722,239 Common Shares outstanding. The share consolidation has been applied retrospectively within the condensed interim consolidated financial statements.
In assessing whether the going concern assumption is appropriate, management considers all available information about the future, which is at least, but not limited to, twelve months from the end of the reporting period. The Company's ability to continue operations and fund its mining interest expenditures is dependent on management's ability to secure additional financing. Management is actively pursuing such additional sources of financing, and while it has been successful in doing so in the past, there can be no assurance it will be able to do so in the future. The Company is currently in the exploration stage and has not commenced commercial operations. These conditions may cast significant doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company’s operations could be significantly adversely affected by the effects of a widespread global outbreak of a contagious disease, including the recent outbreak of respiratory illness caused by COVID-19. The Company cannot accurately predict the impact COVID-19 will have on its operations and the ability of others to meet their obligations with the Company, including uncertainties relating to the ultimate geographic spread of the virus, the severity of the disease, the duration of the outbreak, and the length of travel and quarantine restrictions imposed by governments of affected countries. In addition, a significant outbreak of contagious diseases in the human population could result in a widespread health crisis that could adversely affect the economies and financial markets of many countries, resulting in an economic downturn that could further affect the Company’s operations and ability to finance its operations.
These Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements do not give effect to adjustments that would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern and therefore need to realize its assets and liquidate its liabilities and commitments in other than the normal course of business and at amounts different from those in the accompanying Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements. Such adjustments could be material.

2. Basis of Presentation
(a) Statement of compliance
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance and comply with International Accounting Standard 34 Interim Financial Reporting (“IAS 34”) using accounting principles consistent with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and interpretations issued by the IFRS Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”). The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year and the corresponding interim reporting period. Furthermore, the information on accounting standards effective in future periods and not yet adopted remains unchanged from that disclosed in the annual financial statements.
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on March 30, 2021.
(b) Basis of presentation
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information required for full annual consolidated financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the financial statements for the year ended July 31, 2020.
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis except for certain financial instruments that have been measured at fair value. In addition, these condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting, except for cash flow information.
(c) Basis of consolidation
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary Augustine Ventures Inc. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
(d) Significant accounting judgements and estimates
The preparation of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed interim consolidated financial statements and reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period.
Actual outcomes could differ from these estimates. The condensed interim consolidated financial statements include estimates which, by their nature, are uncertain. The impacts of such estimates are pervasive throughout the interim condensed consolidated financial statements, and may require accounting adjustments based on future occurrences. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised and also in future periods when the revision affects both current and future periods. Significant accounting judgments, estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis.
Significant assumptions about the future and other sources of estimation uncertainty that management has made at the end of the reporting period, that could have an effect on the amounts recognized in the interim condensed consolidated financial statements relate to the following:
Going concern
The preparation of the condensed interim consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgments regarding the going concern of the Company (note 1).
Share-based compensation
Estimating fair value for granted stock options requires determining the most appropriate valuation model which is dependent on the terms and conditions of the grant. This estimate also requires determining the most appropriate inputs to the valuation model including the expected life of the option, volatility, dividend yield, and rate of forfeitures and making assumptions about them. The value of the share-based payment expense along with the assumptions and model used for estimating fair value for share-based compensation transactions are disclosed in Note 8.

During the year ended July 31, 2015, the Company recorded a contingent provision of $200,000 to recognize the obligation to flow-through subscribers of the 2011 series, which was calculated using a 35% combined rate applied against the estimated CEE shortfall.

10. Capital Management
As at January 31, 2021, the Company had a working capital deficit of $287,723 (July 31, 2020: surplus $604,550) and an accumulated deficit of $70,127,203 (July 31 2020: $ 69,237,900). The Company had a net loss from operations for the six-month period ended January 31, 2021 of $889,303 (January 31, 2020: $2,102,704).
There were no changes in the Company's approach to capital management during the six-month period ended January 31, 2021.
In managing liquidity, the Company’s primary objective is to ensure the entity can continue as a going concern while raising additional funding to meet its obligations as they come due. The Company’s operations to date have been funded by issuing equity. The Company expects to improve the working capital position by securing additional financing.
The Company’s investment policy is to invest excess cash in low risk financial instruments such as term deposits or by holding funds in high yield savings accounts with major Canadian banks. Financial instruments are exposed to certain financial risks, which may include currency risk, credit risk, liquidity risk and interest rate risk.
The Company’s mineral property interests are all in the exploration stage, as such the Company is dependent on external financing to fund its exploration activities and administrative costs. Management continues to assess the merits of mineral properties on an ongoing basis and may seek to acquire new properties or to increase ownership interests if it believes there is sufficient geologic and economic potential.
Management mitigates the risk and uncertainty associated with raising additional capital in current economic conditions through cost control measures that minimizes discretionary disbursements and reduces exploration expenditures that are deemed of limited strategic value.
The Company manages the capital structure (consisting of shareholders’ deficiency) on an ongoing basis and adjusts in response to changes in economic conditions and risks characteristics of its underlying assets. Adjustments to the Company’s capital structure may involve the issuance of new shares, assumption of new debt, acquisition or disposition of assets, or adjustments to the amounts held in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments.
The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements other than flow-through spending commitments (note 9).
11. Financial Instrument Risk Factors
The following disclosures are to enable users of the condensed interim consolidated financial statements to evaluate the nature and extent of risks arising from financial instruments at the end of the reporting period:
a) Credit risk
The Company's credit risk is the risk of counterparty default on cash and cash equivalents held on deposit with financial institutions. The Company manages this risk by ensuring that deposits are only held with large Canadian banks and financial institutions. The amount receivable is primarily HST due from the Canadian government.
b) Liquidity risk
The Company’s liquidity risk is the risk that the Company has insufficient funds to settle its contractual financial liabilities. The Company manages this risk through a budgeting process that ensures sufficient funds are available as contractual cash flows become due.
As at January 31, 2021, the Company had a cash and cash equivalents balance of $137,335 (July 31, 2020: $647,920) to settle current liabilities of $551,929 (July 31, 2020: $527,781).
While the Company has been successful in obtaining required funding in the past, there is no assurance that future financings will be available. Refer to going concern note 1.

11. Financial Instrument Risk Factors (continued)
c) Market risks
The Company’s market risk arises from changes in interest rates and commodity prices that could have an impact on profit and loss. This includes:
-
Interest rate risk, is the sensitivity of the fair value or of the future cash flows of a financial instrument to changes in interest rates. The Company does not have any financial assets or liabilities that were subject to variable interest rates.
-
Commodity price risks, particularly with respect to gold, is the sensitivity of the fair value of, or of the future cash flows, from mineral assets. The Company manages this risk by continually monitoring base and precious metal prices and commodity price trends to determine the appropriate timing for funding the exploration or development of its mineral assets, or for the acquisition or disposition of mineral assets. The Company does not have any mineral assets at the development or production stage carried at historical cost. The Company has expensed the acquisition and exploration costs of its exploration stage mineral assets.
-
Marketable securities risk, is the sensitivity of the fair value of marketable securities to supply and demand for marketable securities. The Company manages this risk by continually monitoring the market pricing and trends of its portfolio of securities to determine the appropriate timing to complete any acquisitions or dispositions. The Company has determined the marketable securities risk at period-end is minimal.
-
Currency risk, is the sensitivity of the fair value or of the future cash flows of financial instruments to changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company does not have any financial assets or liabilities that were subject to variable foreign exchange rates and as such the Company is not subject to currency risk.

12. Subsequent events
Effective March 15, 2021 the Company completed a one (1) new for every ten (10) old consolidation (10:1) of its Common Shares. There was no name change in conjunction with the Consolidation. The Company will continue to trade under the symbol “RPX” on the TSXV. There were 477,222,387 Common Shares outstanding; after giving effect to the Consolidation there are approximately 47,722,239 Common Shares outstanding. The share consolidation has been applied retrospectively within the condensed interim consolidated financial statements.
Red Pine appointed Mr. Paul Martin as a Director and nonexecutive Chair of the Company, effectively February 22, 2021.
On February 22, 2021 the Company entered into a definitive securities purchase agreement (the “Agreement”) with the holders (the “Vendors”) of the partnership interests in Citabar Limited Partnership (“Citabar”), which would result in Red Pine consolidating a 100% ownership in the Wawa Gold Project located near Wawa, Ontario through the acquisition of all of the partnership interests in Citabar (the “Transaction”). The purchase price (the “Purchase Price”) for the Transaction was $12,605.396 was payable in a combination of a minimum of $8,575,905 in cash, common shares of Red Pine, the set-off of $1,104,081 in amounts owed by Citabar to Red Pine as well as the grant to the Vendors of a 2% net smelter return royalty (“NSR”) valued at $160,000 on production from the Wawa Gold Project, of which 1.5% of the 2% NSR is subject to a buyback for a total cost of $1.75 million.
On March 30, 2021, the Company announced that it had completed the Transaction and as a result Red Pine now holds a 100% consolidated ownership interest in the Wawa Gold Project.
To finance the Transaction, the Company completed a private placement financing of subscription receipts on March 23, 2021 for gross proceeds of $20,026,805 (the “Financing”). The proceeds were placed in escrow with the Company’s transfer agent pending satisfaction of all conditions precedent to the Transaction.
As a result, on March 30, 2021, 37,567,400 subscription receipts of the Company were each automatically exercised for one common share of the Company and 5,555,212 tranche 1 flow-through subscription receipts of the Company (the “Tranche 1 FT Subscription Receipts”) and 4,496,403 tranche 2 flow-through subscription receipts of the Company (the “Tranche 2 FT Subscription Receipts” and together with the Tranche 1 FT Subscription Receipts, the “FT Subscription Receipts”) were each automatically exercised for the right (each, a “Right”) to subscribe for one common share of the Company that qualifies as “flow through” share within the meaning of the Income Tax Act (Canada) pursuant to subscription and renunciation agreements entered into by the Company and the subscribers of the FT Subscription Receipts following the issuance of the Rights. Following the transactions described above, a total of 47,619,015 common shares have been issued in connection with the Financing. A portion of the net proceeds of the Financing were used to satisfy the cash portion of the Purchase Price of the Transaction. In connection with the Financing, the Company issued compensation warrants equal to 6% of the securities sold in the Offering, or 2,825,640 compensation warrants, to the agents in the Offering with each such compensation warrant being exercisable to acquire one common share of the Company for a period of 24 months following the issuance thereof at a price of $0.40 per share and paid cash commissions of a total of $1,189,008 to the agents. In connection with the Transaction, the Company paid a cash fee of $400,000 and issued 226,244 common shares pursuant to a financial advisory services agreement.
Pursuant to the terms of the Transaction, Red Pine satisfied the Purchase Price through the payment of C$11,341,315 in cash, the granting of the NSR and the set-off of $1,104,081payable to Red Pine by Citabar. Red Pine elected to pay more than the minimum cash payment and therefore did not issue any common shares to the Vendors in connection with the Transaction. The remaining funds, after deduction for costs, will be used in accordance with the terms of the Agreement.
