Silver Bear Resources Plc Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements For the three and nine months ended 30 September 2020 and 2019

NATURE OF OPERATIONS

Silver Bear Resources Plc was incorporated in United Kingdom on 14 March 2017 under the Companies Act 2006, registered office address 2nd Floor Regis House, 45 King William Street, London, United Kingdom, EC4R 9AN. Silver Bear Resources Plc became the parent company of Silver Bear Resources Inc. on 30 September 2017 following a plan of arrangement transaction involving a one-for-one share exchange of all then outstanding common shares of Silver Bear Resources Inc. for ordinary shares of Silver Bear Resources Plc. Silver Bear Resources Inc. was incorporated under the Business Corporations Act of the Province of Ontario, Canada, on 8 April 2004 and continued under Articles of Continuance dated 30 August 2004 under the Business Corporations Act (Yukon) and 1 February 2005 under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario). The primary business of the Group is the acquisition, exploration, evaluation and development of precious metal properties. The head office of the Group is registered in London, United Kingdom. The strategy of the Group is to focus on the exploration and development of precious metal deposits. The principal asset of the Group is its right to explore and develop the Mangazeisky project (“Mangazeisky”), located approximately 400 kilometers north of Yakutsk in the Republic of Sakha (Yaktutia), in the Russian Federation. On June 22, 2018, the Group announced that it had achieved first silver production in April 2018 as a result of its commissioning activities.

Under the license No. YAKU 12692 BP registered on September 28, 2004, the Group carries out a geological study of the Endybal area - prospecting and evaluation of silver and gold deposits. According to Supplement No. 1, registered on 12 September 2016, the expiry date of the above license is 31 December 2023. The license area is located on the territory of the Kobyai region of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia).

In 2013, the Group obtained a subsoil license No. YAKU 03626 BE, registered on August 28, 2013, for the exploration and production of silver, copper, lead, zinc at the Vertikalny deposit. The license area is located on the territory of the Kobyai region of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia). The license expires on September 1, 2033. In 2015 the Group commenced the development of Mangazeisky that includes the construction of a silver mine with associated processing facilities and infrastructure. It has been determined that development costs incurred from 1 July 2015 have future economic benefits and are economically recoverable. In making this judgement, management assessed various sources of information including the geological and metallurgical information, scoping and feasibility studies, proximity of operating facilities, operating management expertise and existing permits.

1. BASIS OF PREPARATION

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), in accordance with International Standards (IAS) 34 – Interim Financial Reporting and interpretations issued by the IFRS Interpretations Committee (IFRS IC) applicable to companies reporting under IFRS. The financial statements comply with IFRS as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). The Group has consistently applied the accounting policies used in the preparation of its IFRS financial statements throughout all periods presented, as if these policies had always been in effect.

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of Silver Bear Resources Plc and its 100% owned subsidiaries: Silver Bear Resources Inc. (a Canadian corporation), Silver Bear Resources B.V. (a Netherlands corporation) and AO Prognoz (a Russian Federation corporation). All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated on consolidation.

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were reviewed, approved and authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on 13 November 2020

Basis of consolidation

Following Silver Bear Resources Plc becoming the parent company of the Group (as detailed in note 1), this transaction was not treated as a business combination under IFRS 3 “Business combinations” but was considered as a capital reorganisation, as these entities are under common control.

The consolidated financial statements of Silver Bear Resources Plc are presented using the values from the consolidated financial statements of Silver Bear Resources Inc. The equity structure (that is, the issued share capital) reflects that of Silver Bear Resources Plc, with other amounts in equity being those from the consolidated financial statements of the previous group holding entity, Silver Bear Resources Inc. The resulting difference that will arise was recognised as a component of equity.

Going Concern

These unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) applicable to a going concern which contemplates that the Group will be able to realize its assets and settle its liabilities in the normal course as they come due for the foreseeable future.

Starting from 1 July 2019 the commissioning activities was completed with the successful installation and implementation of equipment to implement Merrill–Crowe process. This allow the Group to achieve sustainable commercial production in line with the life of mine plans. In 2020 the Group has acquired XRT equipment, which is currently being installed on site, which will help increase recoveries in the production process. This equipment will need to go through a commissioning period before the results of this are seen.

The Group has reported $2,811,002 cash and cash equivalents, total operating cash inflow of $4,785,325. The Group has reported a total net loss for the period of $59,768,597 including foreign exchange loss from shareholders loans in amount of $47,968,367 and net current assets of $23,226,215. The Group is in an overall net liability position of $65,178,024 due to the significant funding from the Group’s major shareholders.

Management have prepared cash flow forecasts for the 12 month period from the date of approval of these financial statements, which are based on the Group's principal asset, the Mangazeisky silver asset in Russia, achieving sustainable production levels to generate sufficient cash flows to fund its operations and repay debt obligations and other liabilities as they fall due.

Management has assessed the impact of the current COVID-19 pandemic. Due to the remote location of the mine site, operations are currently unaffected by the pandemic, but given the uncertainty in the global economic market, Management note it could cause issues with production and sale of silver in the future. Management has extended the rotation of the current employees on the mine staff to provide continuity of operations over the next 3 months. Management continue to monitor Government and local legislation on a daily basis. The directors and Management continue to assess the Group’s funding position to ensure sufficient facilities are in place to manage any short term impact on working capital.

The Group’s cash flow forecast is reliant on sustained production from the mine. Given the mine is in the first 12 months of commercial production and the current issues with the COVID-19 pandemic, these events indicate the existence of a material uncertainty, which may cast significant doubt over the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, and, therefore, it may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. If consistent sustained production is not realized then additional funds will be needed within twelve months from the date of the approval of these financial statements to fund both working capital and meet the Group’s liabilities as and when they fall due. The financial statements do not include the adjustments that would result if the Group was unable to continue as a going concern.

The Directors are confident that production in 2020-2021 will be in line with budget. Accordingly, the Directors continue to adopt the going concern basis for the preparation of these financial statements.

Significant Accounting Policies

Foreign currency translation

Items included in the financial statements of each entity are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which it operates (“functional currency”). The consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars which is the functional currency of Silver Bear Resources Inc, and Silver Bear Resources B.V. Silver Bear Resources Plc has changed its functional currency as of 1 January 2018 from Canadian dollars to Russian roubles when it was deemed that the majority of underlying transactions now took place in roubles. Silver Bear Resources Plc functional currency is different to presentation currency, because the group is listed on TSX and presentation of financial statements in Canadian dollars is considered to be beneficial for potential and current shareholders in Canada. The financial statements of AO Prognoz have the Russian rouble as their functional currency. The results of both Silver Bear Resources Plc and AO Prognoz are translated into the Canadian dollar presentation currency for consolidation purposes as follows: assets and liabilities – at the closing rate at the date of the statements of financial position, and income and expenses at the average rate for each quarter (as this is considered a reasonable approximation to actual rates). All resulting changes are recognized in other comprehensive income as cumulative translation adjustments.

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency of the entity in which they occur using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of foreign currency transactions and from the translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than functional currency at period-end exchange rates are recognized in profit or loss.

Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

Mineral properties

Mineral properties include the costs of acquiring exploration and mining licenses, as well as the cost of assets associated with the obligation for environmental rehabilitation and costs of developing the mining properties. Licenses are valued at cost at the date of acquisition less impairment. Mining properties under development are accounted for at cost and are not amortised until production has commenced. Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the development of mining properties and preparing them for production.

Intangible assets

Intangible assets are carried at cost, less accumulated amortisation. All intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over one to eleven years.

Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost, less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.

Once a mine development phase was ceased and the production phase was commenced the processing plant equipment and buildings depreciated using a unit-of production method based on estimated economically recoverable reserves, which results in a depreciation charge proportional to the depletion of reserves.

Starting from 1 April 2020 management of the Group has changed depreciation base for unit of production method from mineral reserves to mineral resources in proportional to the depletion of resources. Management believes that this change in accounting estimate represent the most accurate and fair view for depreciation charge calculation.

Other property, plant and equipment, with the exception of leasehold improvements, are depreciated on a straight-line basis

Leased equipment are amortized over the remaining life of the lease. Significant components of property, plant and equipment are recorded and depreciated separately. Residual values, the method of depreciation and the useful lives of assets are revised annually and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate, if there is an indicator of a significant change since the last reporting date. Depreciation of underlying property, plant and equipment which directly contributed the developing the mining properties are capitalized as additions in mineral properties.

Recognition of costs in the carrying amount of an item of property, plant and equipment ceases when the item is in the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management.

In order to determine whether the project is ready to operate as intended by management, judgement was applied taking into account commercial production indicators such as pre-production output has reached a nominated percentage, the internal project management team has transferred the mine to the operational team, the majority of the assets necessary for the mining project are substantially complete and ready for use and the project’s ability to sustain commercial levels of production. These indicators provided guidance to recognize that the mine development phase was ceased and the production phase is commence starting from 1 July 2019.

During the mine development phase from 1 July 2015 to 1 July 2019, all costs that was directly attributable to developing the mine was capitalized and the incidental revenue generated was credited against the capital cost up to the date when the commercial production indicators are met.

Exploration costs

Field exploration, supervisory costs and costs associated with maintaining the mineral property are expensed until the Group has a reasonable expectation that the property is technically feasible and commercially viable.

Impairment of non-financial assets

The Group reviews and evaluates the recoverable amount of its mineral properties, property, plant and equipment and other noncurrent assets annually and when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of related assets or groups of assets might not be recoverable.

For the purpose of measuring recoverable amounts, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (cash-generating units). The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use (being the present value of the expected future cash flows of the relevant asset). Any resulting write-down of the excess of carrying value over the recoverable amount is charged to the consolidated statement of operations.

Provision for decommissioning and restoration liability

Mining and exploration activities normally give rise to obligations for environmental rehabilitation. Rehabilitation work may include facility decommissioning and dismantling; removal or treatment of waste materials; site and land rehabilitation, including compliance with and monitoring of environmental regulations; security and other site-related costs required to perform the rehabilitation work; and operation of equipment designed to reduce or eliminate environmental effects. The extent of work required and the associated costs are dependent on the requirements of relevant authorities and our environmental policies. Routine operating costs that may impact the ultimate closure and rehabilitation activities, such as waste material handling conducted as an integral part of a mining or exploration process, are not included in the provision. The timing of the actual rehabilitation expenditure is dependent upon a number of factors such as the life and nature of the asset, the license conditions and the operating environment. Expenditures may occur before and after the site closure and can continue for an extended period of time depending on rehabilitation requirements.

Rehabilitation provisions are measured at the expected value of future cash flows associated with the settlement of the obligation and discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate which reflects current assessments of the time value of money.

The expected future cash flows exclude the effect of inflation. The unwinding of the discount in subsequent periods is presented as interest expense. The asset associated with retirement obligations represents the part of the cost of acquiring the future economic benefits of the operation and is capitalized to mineral properties as part of the carrying amount of the long-lived asset and amortized over the expected economic life of the operation to which it relates. The Group re-measures the liability at each reporting date. Changes in estimates are recorded using current discount rate assumptions. Adjustments are also accounted for as a change in the corresponding value of the related assets.

Financial instruments

Financial assets:

Financial assets within the scope of IFRS 9 are initially recognized at fair value and are classified financial assets at amortised cost. The Group determines the classification of its financial assets at initial recognition.

The Group’s financial assets include cash and cash equivalents, accounts. Regular purchases and sales of financial assets are recognized on the trade-date, being the date on which the Group commits to purchase or sell assets.

Under IFRS 9, impairment provisions are recognized based on a forward-looking expected credit loss model. The methodology used to determine the amount of the provision is based on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition of the financial asset.

Financial assets are derecognized when the rights to receive cash flows from investments and the Group has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership.

Financial liabilities:

Financial liabilities within the scope of IFRS 9 are initially recognized at fair value and are classified as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, financial liabilities, or as derivatives designated as hedging instruments in an effective hedge, as appropriate.

The Group’s current financial liabilities include accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and short-term loans. Initially they are recognized at fair value, and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Amortized cost approximates fair value due to the short-term maturity of these liabilities.

Financial instruments are initially recorded at fair value. The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, miscellaneous receivables, short-term loans, lease liabilities and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their recorded amounts because of their short-term nature. The fair value of long-term loans and non-current lease liabilities is shown at their carrying values as any differences are not material.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash represents cash on hand and demand deposits. Cash equivalents represent short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and subject to insignificant risk of change in value.

Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

Revenue recognition

Timing of recognition is governed by IFRS 15. Entity recognizes revenues when a performance obligation is satisfied, which is when “control” of the goods has transferred to the customer. Control of goods is transferred at the point of time, when silver is passed to the buyer at the refinery site. Payments terms allows 80% prepayment in advance and the remaining payment based on the final Price, dependent on silver weight per Act of Acceptance and London price on London Market of metals, adjusted for the prepaid amount under provisional price. Pre-commercial production silver sales that were generated from 1 April 2018 to 1 July 2019 was excluded from operating activities and was reflected within non-current assets on the consolidated statement of financial position.

Current and deferred income Taxes

Current income tax is the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable or receivable in respect of previous years.

The Group uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes, under which deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying value of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured using tax rates in effect for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred income tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates or laws is recognized as part of the provision for income tax in the year the changes are considered substantively enacted. Deferred tax benefits attributable to these differences, if any, are recognized to the extent that the realization of such benefits is more likely than not.

The Group did not recognize deferred taxes raised during pre-production stage.

Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the profit/(loss) for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.

Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing the profit/(loss) for the period by the diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding.

Share-based payments

The fair value of any stock options granted to directors, officers, consultants and employees is recognized as an expense over the vesting period with a corresponding increase recorded to contributed surplus. The fair value of share-based compensation is determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and management's assumptions as disclosed in Note 15. An estimate for forfeitures is made when determining the number of equity instruments expected to vest. Upon exercise of the stock options, consideration paid by the option holder is recorded as an increase to share capital.

Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, which are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale, are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale. All other borrowing costs are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred, using the average exchange rate prevailing for that period. Translation differences associated with borrowings costs are expensed.

Prepaid expenses

Prepaid expenses represent payments made or obligations incurred in advance of the receipt of goods or rendering of services. Prepaid expenses are typically included in other current assets on the consolidated statement of financial position.

Inventories

Costs incurred in bringing each product to its present location and conditions are accounted for as follows:

Raw materials: purchase price plus transportation cost plus any applicable customs duties and taxes;

Ore stockpiles comprises direct labour, other direct costs and related production overheads (based on normal operating capacity) but excludes borrowing costs.

Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

The cost of silver for sale and silver in circuit comprises raw materials, direct labour, other direct costs and related production overheads (based on normal operating capacity) but excludes borrowing costs

Inventories are accounted for using weighted average basis. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

Inventory measured at lower of cost and net realisable value.

Leases

All leases are accounted for by recognising a right-of-use asset and a lease liability except for:

Leases of low value assets; and leases with a duration of 12 months or less.

Lease liabilities are measured at the present value of the contractual payments due to the lessor over the lease term, with the discount rate determined by reference to the rate inherent in the lease unless.

On initial recognition, the carrying value of the lease liability also includes amounts expected to be payable under any residual value guarantee, the exercise price of any purchase option granted in favour of the group if it is reasonably certain to assess that option;

any penalties payable for terminating the lease, if the term of the lease has been estimated on the basis of termination option being exercised.

Lease liabilities accounted under a separate line in financial statement.

Right of use assets are initially measured at the amount of the lease liability, reduced for any lease incentives received, and increased for lease payments made at or before commencement of the lease, initial direct costs incurred and the amount of any provision recognised where the group is contractually required to dismantle, remove or restore the leased asset.

Right of the use assets represent by mining equipment under leased contracts, leased equipment accounted in property plant and equipment.

Subsequent to initial measurement lease liabilities increase as a result of interest charged at a constant rate on the balance outstanding and are reduced for lease payments made. Right-of-use assets are amortised on a straight-line basis over the remaining term of the lease.

Amounts payable for leases covered by the short-term exemption are charged to the income statement on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease

Accounting estimates and management judgments

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.

The significant areas of estimation and uncertainties considered by management in preparing the consolidated financial statements include:

Critical judgements in applying accounting policies:

Determination of functional currency

Based on the primary indicators in IAS 21 – The Effects of Change in Foreign Exchange Rates – the Russian rouble has been determined as the functional currency of AO Prognoz, an operating subsidiary of the Group, because the Russian rouble is the currency that mainly influences labour, material and other costs of providing goods or services, and is the currency in which these costs are denominated and settled.

Effects of changes in foreign exchange rates on the consolidation of the financial statements are recorded in other comprehensive income and carried in the form of a cumulative translation adjustment in the accumulated other comprehensive income section of the Statement of financial position of the Group.

Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

The functional currency of Silver Bear Resources Plc changed from Canadian dollars to Russian rouble in 2018 as it is now deemed that the majority of underlying transactions for this entity are undertaken in roubles and therefore it is appropriate for this to be its functional currency.

The functional currency of Silver Bear Resources Inc. and Silver Bear Resources BV has been determined to be the Canadian Dollar reflecting the current principal equity and financing structure.

Commercial production

Capitalization of development costs (note 9 and 10)

Management has determined that development costs incurred from 1 July 2015 to 1 July 2019 have future economic benefits and are economically recoverable. In making this judgement, management assessed various sources of information including the geological and metallurgical information, scoping and feasibility studies, proximity of operating facilities, operating management expertise and existing permits. In order to determine whether the project is ready to operate as intended by management, judgement was applied taking into account commercial production indicators such as pre-production output has reached a nominated percentage, the internal project management team has transferred the mine to the operational team, the majority of the assets necessary for the mining project are substantially complete and ready for use and the project’s ability to sustain commercial levels of production. These indicators have provided guidance to recognize that the mine development phase was ceased and the production phase was commenced starting from 1 July 2019.

Impairment of mineral properties and property, plant and equipment

The carrying value of mineral properties and property, plant and equipment are disclosed in Note 9 and Note 10. While assessing whether any indications of impairment exist for mineral properties, consideration is given to both external and internal sources of information. Information that management considers includes, changes in the market, and changes in the economic and legal environment in which the Group operates that are not within its control that could affect the recoverable amount of mineral properties. Internal sources of information include the manner in which mineral properties are being used or are expected to be used and indications of expected economic performance of the assets. Estimates include but are not limited to estimates of the discounted future after-tax cash flows expected to be derived from the Group’s mineral properties, costs to sell the properties and the appropriate discount rate. Reductions in metal price forecasts, reductions in the amount of recoverable mineral reserves and mineral resources, and/or adverse current economics can result in a write-down of the carrying amounts of the Group’s mineral properties.

Key sources of estimation uncertainty:

Depreciation rates

The Group proven and probable mineral reserves at the beginning of commercial production was 717 thousand tonnes, depletion for the period 1 July 2019- 31 March 2020 was 95 thousand tonnes.

Starting from 1 April 2020 management of the group has changed depreciation base for unit of production method from mineral reserves to mineral resources in proportion to the depletion of resources. Management believes that this change in accounting estimate represent the most accurate and fair view for depreciation charge calculation.

The Group use mineral resources, that at the date of change in accounting estimate was 810 thousand tonnes, depletion for the period 1 April 2020- 30 September 2020 was 54 thousand tonnes.

Rehabilitation provisions and asset retirement obligations

The carrying value of the asset retirement obligation is disclosed in Note 14. Exploration and development activities carried out by the Group give rise to obligations for environmental rehabilitation. Significant uncertainty exists as to the amount and timing of associated cash flows and regulatory requirements. A Russian Central Bank borrowing rate for a 10-year zero coupon year bond is used in discounting future cash flows as a pre-tax discount rate.

The expected life of the mine is used as the discounting period. If the estimated discount rate used in the calculation had been higher than the management estimate, the carrying amount of the provision would have been lower and the interest expense higher.

If the estimated period over which the cash flows associated with the asset retirement obligations are calculated had been longer than management’s estimates, the carrying amount of the provision would have been lower as would have been the interest expense.

Management has reviewed and evaluated the existence of impairment triggers and concluded that no impairment triggers existed as at 30 September 2020. Management have assessed the recoverable amount of its mineral properties and property, plant and equipment by performing a value in use calculation, expected future economic benefits and future cash flows exceed carrying value of mineral properties and property, plant and equipment.

Mineral properties and property, plant and equipment relate to a sole cash generating unit, the Vertikalny silver mine development. The Vertikalny silver mine development is part of the Mangazeisky combined mine plan for Vertikalny and Mangazeisky North deposits. The Group currently holds an exploration license for a number of deposits within the Mangazeisky license area which expires in 2023 and a mining license for the Vertikalny deposit expiring in 2033.

Accounting developments not yet adopted

There are a number of standards and interpretations which have been issued by the International Accounting Standards Board that are effective in future accounting periods that the Group has decided not to adopt early. The Group is currently assessing the impact of these new accounting standards and amendments.

3. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT AND FINANCIAL RISK FACTORS

The Group manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it, based on the funds available to the Group, in order to support the current production operations, acquisition, exploration and development of precious metal properties.

The Group considers excess cash balances, all the components of shareholders’ equity and loans as capital. The Board of Directors does not establish quantitative return on capital criteria for management, but rather relies on the expertise of the Group’s management to sustain the future development of the business.

The property in which the Group currently has an interest is in production stage.

In order to fund the ongoing development activities, the Group will spend existing working capital and plans to raise additional amounts as needed through equity and/or debt. The Group will continue to assess new properties and seek to acquire an interest in additional properties where sufficient geologic or economic potential are noted and if financial resources exist to do so. Management reviews its capital management approach on an ongoing basis and believes that this approach, given the relative size of the Group, is reasonable.

There were no changes in the Group’s approach to capital management during the period ended 30 September 2020 compared to the year ended 31 December 2019. The Group is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements.

FINANCIAL RISK FACTORS

The Group is exposed to credit and liquidity risks and market risk. The risk management policies employed by the Group to manage these risks are discussed below

Market risk

The Group takes on exposure to market risks. Market risks arise from open positions in (a) silver prices (b) foreign currencies, (c) interest bearing assets and liabilities and (d) equity products, all of which are exposed to general and specific market movements. Management sets limits on the value of risk that may be accepted, which is monitored on a daily basis. However, the use of this approach does not prevent losses outside of these limits in the event of more significant market movements.

Sensitivities to market risks included below are based on a change in a factor while holding all other factors constant. In practice this is unlikely to occur and changes in some of the factors may be correlated – for example, changes in interest rate and changes in foreign currency rates.

Credit risk

The Group has no significant concentration of credit risk arising from operations. Cash equivalents consist of interest earning bank accounts held in banks in the Russia and Canada which in the presentational currency total $2,787,749 and $23,253 respectively. The Group’s Canadian chartered banks have a credit rating of at least A2 (Moody’s) and the Group’s Russian banks have a credit rating of at least ba1 (Moody’s).

Miscellaneous receivables and prepaid expenses other than tax refunds due from the Canadian and Russian tax authorities are insignificant.

Management believes that the credit risk concentration with respect to accounts receivable is not higher than the country credit risk.

Liquidity risk

The Group’s approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure it will have sufficient liquidity to meet liabilities when due by continual review of budgets and forecasts and discussions with shareholders and other providers of finance as appropriate. The Group’s current assets and current liabilities are show in the table below:

	September	December
	2020	2019
Total current assets	32,405,217	31,536,590
Total current liabilities	9,179,003	5,955,102

As at 30 September 2020 the Group had total current assets of $32,405,217 (31 December 2019 – $31,536,590) to settle total current liabilities of $9,179,003 (31 December 2019 – $5,955,102), as well as its commitments outlined in Note 21. Total liabilities of $191,433,739 include long-term loans totaling $185,804,525 accrued interest of $3,323,837 and fair value gain on modification of loans of $8,902,358.

As at 30 September 2020, the Group had cash balances of $2,811,002 (31 December 2019 – $5,444,288).

3. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT AND FINANCIAL RISK FACTORS (Continued)

Interest rate risk

The Group has cash balances and interest-bearing debt on short term loans and long-term loans at commercial fixed rates. The Group’s current policy is to invest excess cash in interest-earning bank accounts with Canadian and Russian financial institutions. The Group periodically monitors the investments it makes and is satisfied with the credit ratings of its banks.

Foreign currency risk

The Group has funded certain exploration, project construction and administrative expenses on a transaction by transaction basis using U.S. dollar and Russian rouble. USD funding has been provided directly to AO Prognoz in Russia and converted to Russian rouble. This exposes the Group to changes in foreign exchange rates for Great British pound, U.S. dollar and Russian rouble.

Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Group’s exposure to the risk of changes in foreign exchange rates relates primarily to the Group’s borrowings (when borrowing is denominated in a different currency from functional currencies of the Group companies).

23. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Financial instruments measured at fair value on the consolidated statements of financial position are classified into one of three levels in the fair value hierarchy according to the relative reliability of the inputs used to estimate the fair values. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are:

Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly; and
Level 3 – Inputs that are not based on observable market data.

The Group’s current financial instruments consist of cash, accounts receivable, short-term loans, lease liabilities and accounts payable and accrued liabilities. The fair value of these financial instruments approximates their carrying values due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The Group’s non-current financial instruments consist of long-term loans and lease liabilities. The fair value of these instruments approximates their carrying values as any differences are not material. Financial assets and financial liabilities as at 30 September 2020 and 31 December 2019 were as follows:
