RT MINERALS CORP. NOTES TO THE CONDENSED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) – Page 7 FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED FEBRUARY 28, 2021 AND 2020 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars)
1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN
RT Minerals Corp. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the Business Corporations Act of British Columbia on March 9, 2007. The Company’s business activity is the exploration and evaluation of mineral properties in Canada. The Company is listed on the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSXV”), having the symbol RTM-V, as a Tier 2 mining issuer.
The address of the Company’s corporate office and principal place of business is Suite 1210 - 1130 West Pender Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
The Company has not generated revenue from operations since inception and has accumulated losses of $14,632,939 since inception and expects to incur further losses in the development of its business, all of which indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to raise financing and generate future profitable operations. As the Company is in the exploration stage, the recoverability of costs incurred to date on exploration properties is dependent upon the existence of economically recoverable reserves, the ability of the Company to obtain the necessary financing to complete the exploration and development of its properties and upon future profitable production or proceeds from the disposition of the properties. The Company will periodically have to raise funds to continue operations, and although it has been successful in doing so in the past, there is no assurance it will be able to do so in the future.
2. BASIS OF PREPARATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the three month period ended February 28, 2021 have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. They do not include all disclosures that would otherwise be required in a complete set of financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s 2020 annual financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”).
The condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared using accounting policies consistent with those used in the Company’s 2020 annual financial statements except for new standards, interpretations and amendments mandatorily effective for the first time from January 1, 2020. Note 2 sets out the impact of new standards, interpretations and amendments that have had a material effect on the financial statements.
The condensed interim financial statements were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on April 28, 2021.
The preparation of condensed interim consolidated financial statements in compliance with IAS 34 requires management to make certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgment in applying the Company’s accounting policies. The areas where significant judgments and estimates have been made in preparing the financial statements and their effect are disclosed in Note 3.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED
Basis of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, RT Minerals Corp (Guyana) Inc. (“RTMG”). RTMG was incorporated in Guyana and is currently dormant. Inter-company balances and transactions, including unrealized income and expenses arising from inter-company transactions, are eliminated on consolidation.
Foreign Currency Translation
The presentation currency and functional currency of the Company and its Guyana subsidiary is the Canadian dollar as this is the principal currency of the economic environment in which they operate. The Company’s Guyana subsidiary is financially and operationally dependent on the Company. The Company translates transactions in foreign currencies into Canadian dollars at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rates in effect at the consolidated statement of financial position date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at historical rates. The resulting exchange gains or losses are recognized in comprehensive loss.
New Accounting Standards, Interpretations and Amendments to Existing Standards
A number of new or amended accounting standards are scheduled for mandatory adoption on or after December 1, 2021. The Company has not early adopted these new standards in preparing these consolidated financial statements. These new standards are either not applicable or are not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
3. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGMENTS
There have been no material revisions to the nature of judgments and amount of changes in estimates of amounts reported in the Company’s 2020 annual financial statements.

10. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT
Fair values
The Company’s financial instruments include cash, short-term investments, amounts receivable, trade and other payables, amounts due to related parties and loan payable. The fair value of these financial instruments approximates their carrying values due to the relative short-term maturity of these instruments.
The following table summarizes information regarding the carrying and fair values of the Company’s financial instruments:
| February 28, 2021 Fair Value Carrying Value $ $ 450,288 450,288 79,799 79,799 |
November 30, 2020 | |

733,359 733,359 409,154 409,154 |
(i) Cash and short-term investments
(ii) Trade and other payables, due to related parties and loan payable
The Company classifies its fair value measurements in accordance with an established hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs in valuation techniques used to measure fair value as follows:
Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); and Level 3 - Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.

10. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT (CONTINUED)
The following table sets forth the Company’s financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis by level within the fair value hierarchy as follows:
| As at February 28, 2021 | Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Total |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| $ | $ | $ | $ | |
| Cash | 220,288 | - | - | 220,288 |
| Term deposits | 230,000 | - | - | 230,000 |
The Company believes the recorded values of all other financial instruments approximate their current fair values because of their nature and respective maturity dates.
The Company’s financial instruments are exposed to certain financial risks: credit risk, liquidity risk, market risk and currency risk.
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of an unexpected loss associated with a counterparty’s inability to fulfill its contractual obligations. Management evaluates credit risk on an ongoing basis and monitors activities related to amounts and other receivable including the amounts of counterparty concentrations. The primary sources of credit risk for the Company arise from its financial assets consisting of cash and cash equivalents. The carrying value of these financial assets represents the Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk. To minimize credit risk the Company only holds its cash and term deposits with high credit chartered Canadian financial institutions. As at February 28, 2021, the Company has no financial assets that are past due or impaired due to credit risk defaults.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its obligations with respect to financial liabilities as they fall due. The Company’s financial liabilities consist of its trade and other payable, amounts due to related parties and loan payable. The Company has a working capital surplus of $477,696 as at February 28, 2021 and requires additional financing for operations and meet its current obligations. The Company handles its liquidity risk through the management of its capital structure as described in Note 11.
The following are the contractual maturities of financial liabilities as at February 28, 2021:
| Carrying Amount Contractual Cash Flows Within 1 year Within 2 years Within 3 years $ $ $ $ $ |
Over 3 years $ |
|---|---|
| Trade payables 10,606 10,606 10,606 - - Due to related parties 29,193 29,193 29,193 - - Loan payable 40,000 40,000 - 40,000 |

10. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT (CONTINUED)
Market risk
Market risk is the risk of loss that may arise from changes in market factors such as interest rates, investment fluctuations, and commodity and equity prices. Market conditions will cause fluctuations in the fair values of financial assets and cause fluctuations in the fair value of future cash flows for assets or liabilities. The Company is not exposed to significant interest rate risk as the Company has no fluctuating interest bearing debt. The Company’s ability to raise capital to fund exploration or development activities is subject to risks associated with fluctuations in gold and metal prices. Management closely monitors commodity prices, individual equity movements, and the stock market to determine the appropriate course of action to be taken by the Company.
Currency risk
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair values of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because they are denominated in currencies that differ from the respective functional currencies. The Company does not hedge its exposure to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. The Company’s Guyana subsidiary is exposed to currency risk as it incurs expenditures that are denominated in US dollars while its functional currency is the Canadian dollar.
Pandemic risk
The outbreak and spread of a novel coronavirus (COVID-19), declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization, has already had significant human, political, and economic consequences around the world. The coronavirus is still evolving, and its full impact remains to be determined. However, its wide-ranging effects include financial market volatility, interest rate cuts, disrupted movement of people and goods, and diminished consumer confidence. The effects of the coronavirus may be difficult to assess or predict with meaningful precision both generally and as an industry- or issuer-specific basis. This is an uncertain issue where actual effects will depend on many factors beyond the control and knowledge of the Company. The Company continues to closely evaluate the impact of COVID-19 on its operations.
11. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
The Company’s objective when managing capital is to safeguard the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern such that it can support continued development of its exploration and evaluation assets, pursue the acquisition and exploration of other mineral interests, and to maintain a flexible capital structure for its projects for the benefit of its shareholders and other stakeholders. The Company is not exposed to externally imposed capital requirements.
The Company considers items included in equity to be capital. The Company manages the capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. In order to maintain or adjust its capital structure, the Company may issue new shares, sell assets to settle liabilities, option its properties for cash from optionees, enter into joint venture arrangements, return capital to its shareholders or adjust the amount of cash.
