SABLE RESOURCES LTD. Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS

Sable Resources Ltd. (the "Company") is incorporated under the Business Corporation Act (British Columbia). The Company is engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral resource properties in Argentina and Mexico. The address of the Company's corporate office and principal place of business is Suite 900, 999 West Hastings Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6C 2W2. The Company’s shares are listed on the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSXV”) and on the OTC Venture Market (“OTCQB”) under the symbols SAE and SBLRF, respectively.

The Company has not yet determined whether any of its properties contain mineral deposits that are economically recoverable. The recoverability of any amounts shown as mineral property interests is dependent upon the existence of economically recoverable mineral reserves, the ability of the Company to obtain the necessary financing to complete the exploration and development of its properties, and future profitable production or proceeds from the disposition of its properties. There is no assurance that The Company funding initiatives will continue to be successful. The underlying value of the mineral properties is dependent upon the existence and economic recovery of mineral reserves and is subject to, but not limited to, the risks and challenges identified above. Changes in future conditions could require material writedowns of the carrying value of mineral properties and deferred exploration.

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements were approved and authorized for issue by the Company’s Board of Directors on November 22, 2021.

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

a) Statement of Compliance

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). These consolidated financial statements represent the Company’s presentation of its results and financial position under IFRS. These accounting policies are based on the IFRS standards and International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”) interpretations that the Company expects to be applicable at that time. The policies set out below were consistently applied to all presented unless otherwise noted.

b) Basis of Measurement

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements were prepared on an accrual basis, are based on historical costs except for financial instruments measured at fair value and are presented in Canadian dollars, which is the functional currency of the Company’s Canadian entity. The functional currency of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries is US dollars.

Amendments to IAS 16

Amendments to IAS 16, Property, Plant and Equipment—Proceeds before Intended Use. Effective on January 1, 2022, the amendments to IAS 16 require that entities are no longer able to deduct the net proceeds from selling any items from an asset’s carrying amount before it is capable of operating in the manner intended by management. Instead, the proceeds should be recognised in accordance with applicable standards and in particular applying the measurement requirements of IAS 2 for the cost of those items. The Amendments to IAS 16 may impact the Company’s development projects. The Company early adopted the amendment in January 2021. There was no impact to the current period or comparative periods presented as a result of the amendment.

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION (continued)

c) Subsidiaries

Subsidiaries are all corporations over which the Company is able, directly or indirectly, to control financial and operating policies, which is the authority usually connected with holding majority voting rights. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is acquired by the Company. They are deconsolidated from the date that control by the Company ceases.

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 include the financial position, financial performance and cash flows of the Company and its subsidiary detailed below:

Company and its subsidiary detailed below:
Functional

Sable Resources Ltd. Canada Parent Consolidated $CAD
Exploraciones Sable, S.de R.L. de C.V. Mexico 100% Consolidated $USD
Exploraciones Tres Cordilleras, S.A. de C.V. Mexico 100% Consolidated $USD
Exploraciones Calalinas, S.A. de C.V. Mexico 100% Consolidated $USD
Exploraciones Vientos de Sur, S.A. de C.V. Mexico 100% Consolidated $USD

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

a) Accounting policies

These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020 which includes information necessary for useful to understanding the Company’s business and financial statement presentation. Foremost, the Company’s significant accounting policies are presented as Note 3 in the audited consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2020 and have been consistently applied in the preparation of these unaudited condensed interim financial statements.

4. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES, JUDGMENTS AND UNCERTAINTIES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the Company’s management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements. Although these estimates are based on management’s best knowledge of the amount, event or actions, actual results may differ from those estimates.

In preparing these unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements, the significant judgements and estimates made by management in applying the Company’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the audited consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2020 other than as stated below.

Deferred exploration recoveries - Management considered the facts and circumstances surrounding the receipt of deferred exploration recoveries (note 22) in determining that it represents a liability to the Company. The payment represents a portion of the funding that will form the consideration for South32 Limited’s (“South32”) investment in Olivares S.A. (“Olivares”), should South32 exercise its right to acquire a 65% direct interest in Olivares. In management’s view, as the Company continues to operate the Don Julio Project, this payment for the future sale of a controlling interest in Olivares is considered to be a present obligation of the Company.

4. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES, JUDGMENTS AND UNCERTAINTIES (continued)

COVID-19 - The outbreak of the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”), has resulted in governments worldwide enacting emergency measures to combat the spread of the virus. Measures taken to contain the spread of the virus, including travel bans, quarantines, social distancing, and closures of non-essential services have triggered significant disruptions to businesses worldwide, resulting in an economic slowdown. The duration and impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is unclear at this time and as a result it is not possible for management to estimate the severity of the impact it may have on the financial results and operations of the Company in future periods. It is management’s assumption that the Company will continue to operate as a going concern.

5. SALE OF MINERAL PROPERTY INTERESTS

On November 18, 2020, the Company announced that it had completed the sale of its option to acquire the Margarita Silver Project, located in Chihuahua State, Mexico, to Molimentales del Noroeste, S.A. de C.V., a subsidiary of Magna Gold Corp. ("Magna").

The Company received total compensation of $1,500,000 in cash and 3,219,278 Magna common shares at a deemed price of $1.0872 per Magna share equal in value to $3,500,000, calculated based on the volume weighted average price of Magna shares on the TSX Venture Exchange for the 15 trading days prior to the date of the option acquisition agreement.

The gain on the sale of the option to acquire the Margarita Silver Project was calculated as follows:

Consideration received:
Fair value of common shares $ 3,500,000
Cash consideration 1,500,000
Total consideration received $ 5,000,000
Mineral property interests 1,345,118
Net assets sold 1,345,118
Gain on sale of mineralproperties, net $ 3,654,882

6. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on deposit with major Canadian, Argentinian and Mexican banks in general interest-bearing accounts totaling $24,412,600 (December 31, 2020 - $17,068,469).

Cash and cash equivalents include a $40,000 (December 31, 2020 - $40,000) one-year cashable guaranteed investment certificate (GIC) held with the Royal Bank of Canada with an interest rate of 0.5% and maturing on July 1, 2022.

Argentina

  • a) Don Julio and Don Julio Regional Project

On December 6, 2017 the Company entered into an agreement to acquire up to a 100% interest in the Don Julio and Don Julio Regional Project located in the San Juan Province of Argentina, subject to a 2% net smelter royalty, of which one half may be purchased by the Company for US$2,500,000 anytime after 12 months from which commercial production has been declared for any part of the project. This was subsequently amended on June 1, 2020, whereby the remaining 1% net smelter royalty can be purchased by the Company for US$5,000,000.

On May 31, 2018, the Company received the environmental impact assessment permit for the Project.

The Company classifies its financial instruments carried at fair value according to a three level hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the fair value measurements. The three levels of fair value hierarchy are as follows:

  • Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

  • Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for assets and liabilities, either directly or indirectly;

  • Level 3 – Inputs for assets or liabilities that are not based on observable market data

As at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities were recorded at fair value under level 1 within the fair value hierarchy.

The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, amounts receivable, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate fair value because of the limited terms of these instruments.

19. USE OF MARKETABLE SECURITIES

From time to time, the Company may acquire and transfer marketable securities to facilitate intragroup funding transfers between the Canadian parent and its Argentine operating subsidiaries.

The Company does not acquire marketable securities or engage in these transactions for speculative purposes. In this regard, under this strategy, the Company generally uses marketable securities of large and well established companies, with high trading volumes and low volatility. Nonetheless, as the process to acquire, transfer and ultimately sell the marketable securities occurs over several days, some fluctuations are unavoidable.

19. USE OF MARKETABLE SECURITIES (continued)

As the marketable securities are acquired with the intention of a near term sale, they are considered financial instruments that are held for trading, all changes in the fair value of the instruments, between acquisition and disposition, are recognized through profit or loss. The Company conducts such transactions on an intra-period basis and does not hold the equity instruments at period end.

As a result of having utilized this mechanism for intragroup funding for the nine month period ended September 30, 2021, the Company realized a net gain of $2,062,530 (September 30, 2020: $nil), comprised of a favorable foreign currency impact of $2,078,094 (September 30, 2020: $nil) and a trading loss of $15,564 (September 30, 2020: $nil).

20. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

The Company's capital management objectives are to raise the necessary equity financing to fund its exploration projects and mining activities and to manage the equity funds raised to best optimize its exploration and mining programs in the interests of its shareholders and other stakeholders at an acceptable risk.

In management of capital, the Company includes shareholders' equity and cash and cash equivalents in the definition of capital.

The Company manages its capital structure and adjusts it in the light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of its underlying assets. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may raise additional equity funds and acquire new exploration properties as circumstances dictate.

The Company’s capital consists of the following:

22. SOUTH32 EARN-IN AGREEMENT

During the period ended September 30, 2021, the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary Olivares signed an earn-in agreement (“EIA”) with a wholly-owned subsidiary of South32, to jointly explore the Don Julio and Don Julio Regional Project.

Earn-in Agreement

The EIA grants South32 the right to acquire 65% of the shares of Olivares by providing US$8.5 million in exploration funding over a period of five years (the "EIA Period") and assuming responsibility for paying 100% of the cash option payments due to the underlying owners of the Project during the EIA Period. At South32's election the EIA Period can be extended by one year to a total period of six years in consideration for South32 providing an additional US$1.5 million in exploration funding. The Company will operate all exploration programs during the EIA Period, and will receive a 7.5% operator fee on all qualifying exploration expenditures. Pursuant to the terms of the EIA, to maintain the option to acquire a 100% interest in the Project in good standing, the Company retains the obligation to issue shares to the underlying owners.

During the nine month period ended September 30, 2021, Olivares received payments of $1,169,831 or US$983,387 equivalent. These payments have been deferred as a liability and represent a portion of the funding that will form the consideration for South32’s investment in Olivares, should South32 exercise its right to acquire a 65% direct interest in Olivares as discussed above.

Shareholders’ Agreement

On satisfying the exploration funding and cash option payment requirements under the EIA, South32 may elect to subscribe for 65% of the shares of Olivares. The Company, Olivares and South32 would then enter into a Shareholders' Agreement, on terms agreed and appended to the EIA.

During the period governed by the Shareholders' Agreement (the "Joint Venture Period"), Sable and South32 will contribute their proportionate share of further exploration and development expenditures or dilute on a straight-line basis. Other key terms of the Shareholders' Agreement include:

  • If South32 elects not to contribute to the first approved program and budget of the Joint Venture Period (which budget must be a minimum of US$4,000,000), then its interest in Olivares will be immediately reduced to 49%, with Sable's interest immediately increasing to 51%;

  • At any time, South32 may elect to sole fund a Preliminary Economic Assessment ("PEA") in exchange for an additional 10% interest in Olivares, such PEA to be delivered within five years of South32's election;

  • The Shareholder with the larger interest in Olivares will have the right to act as Operator either directly or through an affiliate;

  • For as long as South32 continues to hold the larger interest in Olivares, South32 will have the right to appoint an affiliate to act as the worldwide marketing and distribution agent for product produced;

  • In the event that Sable or South32 dilute below a 10% interest in Olivares, then the non-diluted party is entitled to buy out the diluted party's participating interest; and

  • At any time, should the surrender or abandonment of part of the Project be authorized by Olivares, each shareholder will have the right to elect to take an assignment of the surrendered or abandoned portion, subject to any prior rights of third parties.

23. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

As of September 30, 2021, the Company is committed to spending approximately $133,186 over the next four years on its Toronto office lease (note 13).

Due to the size, complexity and nature of the Company’s operations, various legal, tax, environmental and regulatory matters are outstanding from time to time. By their nature, contingencies will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The assessment of contingencies inherently involves the exercise of significant judgment and estimates of the outcome of future events.

24. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On October 14, 2021, the Company granted an aggregate of 4,250,000 options to purchase common shares of the Company exercisable at a price of $0.25 per share for a period of five years to certain directors, officers, employees and consultants.
