Notes to the interim consolidated financial statements March 31, 2020 (Expressed in Canadian dollars) (Unaudited – Prepared by Management)

1. Nature of Operations and Continuance of Business

Searchlight Resources Inc. (formerly Canyon Copper Corp.), (the “Company”), was incorporated in the State of Nevada, U.S.A. on January 21, 2000 under the name Aberdene Mines Limited. On August 7, 2006, the Company changed its name to Canyon Copper Corp. On May 31, 2013, the Company changed its incorporation jurisdiction to be British Columbia, Canada. On July 25, 2018, the Company changed its name to Searchlight Resources Inc. The Company’s principal business plan is to acquire, explore and develop mineral properties and ultimately seek earnings by exploiting mineral claims. The Company’s registered office is Suite 408, 1199 West Pender Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6E 2R1.

These interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes that the Company will realize the carrying value of its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. As at March 31, 2020, the Company has not generated any revenue and has accumulated losses of $30,608,257 since inception. There is no guarantee that the Company will be able to complete any of the above objectives. These factors indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast substantial doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These interim consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

  • (a) Statement of Compliance and Basis of Presentation

These interim consolidated financial statements, including comparatives, have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) applicable to the preparation of interim financial statements, including IAS 34, “ Interim Financial Reporting” .

These interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Canyon Copper (USA) Ltd., a company incorporated in the state of Nevada. All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated on consolidation.

These interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis. These interim consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, which is the Company’s functional currency.

(b) Accounting Standards Adopted

Effective July 1, 2019, the Company has adopted IFRS 16 Leases, which was issued in January 2016 and sets out a new model for lease accounting, replacing IAS 17 – Leases. This is the first set of the Company’s consolidated financial statements where IFRS 16 has been applied and there has been no material effect on the interim consolidated financial statements.

Other accounting standards or amendments to existing accounting standards that have been issued but have future effective dates are either not applicable or are not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s interim consolidated financial statements.

The fair values of other financial instruments, which include amounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, amounts due to related parties, accrued interest on loans payable to related parties, and loans payable to related parties approximate their carrying values due to the relatively short-term maturity of these instruments.

  • (b) Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash and amounts receivable. The Company limits its exposure to credit loss by placing its cash with high credit quality financial institutions. Amounts receivable consists of GST refunds due from the Government of Canada. The carrying amount of financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure.

(c) Foreign Exchange Rate Risk

The Company operates in Canada and United States. Future exploration programs and option payments may be denominated in U.S. dollars. Foreign exchange risk arises from purchase

11. Financial Instruments (continued)

transactions as well as financial assets and liabilities denominated in these foreign currencies. The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposure to foreign exchange rate risk. However, management of the Company believes there is no significant exposure to foreign currency fluctuations.

(d) Interest Rate Risk

The Company’s cash may contain highly liquid investments that earn interest at market rates. The Company manages its interest rate risk by maximizing the interest earned on excess funds while maintaining the liquidity necessary to fund daily operations. Fluctuations in market interest rates do not have a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations due to the short term to maturity of the investments held.

(e) Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company currently settles its financial obligations out of cash. The ability to do this relies on the Company raising debt or equity financing in a timely manner and by maintaining sufficient cash in excess of anticipated needs.

  • (f) Price Risk

The Company is exposed to price risk with respect to commodity prices. The Company’s ability to raise capital to fund exploration and development activities is subject to risks associated with fluctuations in the market price of commodities. The Company is exposed to price risk with the marketable securities held in publicly traded companies. The Company’s marketable securities are subject to risks associated with fluctuations in the market price of the marketable securities.

12. Capital Management

The Company manages its capital to maintain its ability to continue as a going concern and to provide returns to shareholders and benefits to other stakeholders. The capital structure of the Company consists of cash and equity comprised of issued share capital and contributed surplus.

The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of economic conditions. The Company, upon approval from its Board of Directors, will balance its overall capital structure through new share issues or by undertaking other activities as deemed appropriate under the specific circumstances.

The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements and the Company’s overall strategy with respect to capital risk management remains unchanged from the year ended June 30, 2019.

13. Segmented Information

The Company operates in one reportable segment, being the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral properties, with all current exploration activities conducted in Canada and the United States.

Each flow-through unit consists of one common share and onehalf flow-through share purchase warrant with each whole flow-through share purchase warrant entitling the holder to acquire one flow-through common share at a price of $0.05 per share for a period of twelve months from the date of issue. Each non flow-through unit consists of one common share and one share purchase warrant with each share purchase warrant entitling the holder to purchase one common share at $0.05 per share for a period of thirty six months from the date of issue.
