Red Pine Exploration Inc. Notes to Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements October 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 for the three months ended October 31, 2021 (the “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 October31, 2021, the Company had cash of $1,347,713 (July 31, 2021: $2,167,354) and an accumulated deficit of $86,832,036 (July 31, 2021: $85,711,462) and for the three months ended October 31, 2021 had net cash used in operating activities of $787,133 (three months ended October 31, 2020 - $309,938).
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 identified economically recoverable minerals. These conditions indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
Although the Company has taken steps to verify title to the properties on which it is conducting exploration and in which it has an interest, in accordance with industry standards for the current stage of operations of such properties, these procedures do not guarantee the Company's title. Property title may be subject to government licensing requirements or regulations, unregistered prior agreements, unregistered claims, indigenous claims, and non-compliance with regulatory, environmental and social licensing requirements. The Company’s assets may also be subject to increases in taxes and royalties and renegotiation of contracts.
The Company’s operations and its ability to finance its operations could be significantly adversely affected by the effects of COVID-19. The Company cannot accurately predict the impact COVID-19 will have on its operations, including the ability of others to meet their obligations with the Company and government imposed restrictions to address COVID-19,
These 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 Financial Statements. Such adjustments could be material.

2. Significant Accounting Policies
(a) Statement of compliance
These Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance and comply with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting using accounting policies 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”). They do not include all information required for annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of the Company as at and for the year ended July 31, 2021. Selected explanatory notes are included to explain events and transactions that are significant to an understanding of the changes to the Company’s financial position and performance since the last audited annual consolidated financial statements.
The Financial Statements were approved by the Board of Directors on December 14, 2021.
(b) Basis of presentation
These 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 Financial Statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting, except for cash flow information.
(c) Basis of consolidation
These Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Augustine Ventures Inc., 874253 Ontario Ltd., and Wawa GP. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
(d) Significant accounting judgements and estimates
The preparation of the Financial Statements requires management to make judgements, estimates, and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income, and expense. In management’s opinion, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included in the Financial Statements. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the financial year. Actual annual results may differ from interim estimates. The significant judgements made by management applied in the preparation of the Financial Statements are consistent with those applied and disclosed in the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended July 31, 2021. For a description of the Company’s critical accounting estimates and assumptions, please refer to the Company’s audited financial statements and related notes for the year ended July 31, 2021.
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 Financial Statements relate to the following:
Going concern
The preparation of the Financial Statements requires management to make judgments regarding the going concern of the Company. (Note 1)

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
(d) Significant accounting judgements and estimates (continued)
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.
