Silver Range Resources Ltd. Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements Unaudited – Prepared by Management
For the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019
1. Nature of operations and going concern
Silver Range Resources Ltd. (the “Company” or “Silver Range”) was incorporated on May 18, 2010 under the laws of the Province of British Columbia, Canada as a wholly owned subsidiary of Strategic Metals Ltd. (“Strategic”). In 2011, the Company and Strategic completed a Plan of Arrangement which reduced Strategic’s investment in the Company to less than 20%. The Company is registered extra-territorially to conduct operations in the Yukon Territory, Northwest Territories and Nunavut, Canada. The Company also has a US incorporated subsidiary company as detailed in note 5. The Company’s head office is located at 1016 - 510 West Hastings Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, V6B 1L8. Its records office is located at 1710 - 1177 West Hastings Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, V6E 2L3. The Company’s common shares trade on the TSX Venture Exchange (”TSX-V”).
The Company’s main corporate strategy is to advance its mineral properties to a drill-ready stage and then option or sell them to other parties. Under option or sale agreements, the Company may receive cash and/or shares in the acquiring companies and may retain interests or royalty interests in the properties. Through this process, the Company is assembling a portfolio of direct and indirect mineral property interests and marketable securities, which will assist in generating cash flows to meet overheads and ongoing exploration and drilling programs. The Company has not yet determined whether its direct or indirect mineral property interests contain mineral reserves that are economically viable. The Company's continued operations, and the underlying value and recoverability of the amounts shown for mineral property interests and marketable securities, are entirely dependent upon the existence of economically recoverable mineral reserves of the Company and those in which it holds a mineral property or shareholder interest. The continued exploration and development of projects will depend on it receiving future cash flows from the disposition or option of its mineral property interests and sale of marketable securities, or from its ability to obtain share capital financing.
In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared coronavirus COVID-19 a global pandemic. This contagious disease outbreak, which has continued to spread, and any related adverse public health developments, has adversely affected workforces, economies, and financial markets globally, potentially leading to an economic downturn. It is not possible for the Company to predict the duration or magnitude of the adverse results of the outbreak and its effects on the Company’s ability to raise capital or conduct exploration activities. There are travel restrictions and health and safety concerns in all areas where the Company operates, including the Yukon, Northwest Territories and Nunavut in Canada, and Nevada, USA, that may prohibit or delay exploration programs from proceeding. Operations will depend on obtaining necessary field supplies, obtaining contractor services and safeguarding all personnel during the outbreak, which may be prohibitive or too costly. Various Government wage and loan subsidies are available to qualified companies to assist them with operating costs during the pandemic. To date, the Company has not qualified for assistance, but the various programs are constantly being expanded and relaxed, which may qualify the Company for assistance.
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements (the “financial statements”) are prepared on the basis that the Company will continue as a going concern, which assumes that the Company will be able to continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of operations. As an exploration stage company, the Company does not have revenues and historically has recurring operating losses. As at June 30, 2020, the Company had working capital of $551,023 (December 31, 2019 - $259,448), and shareholders’ equity of $4,671,348 (December 31, 2019 - $4,349,463). Management has assessed that this working capital is sufficient for the Company to continue as a going concern beyond one year. If the going concern assumption were not appropriate for these financial statements, it could be necessary to restate the Company’s assets and liabilities on a liquidation basis.

4. Marketable securities
The Company holds share positions in other resource companies which were obtained under mineral property option agreements or by participation in private placements. The valuation of the shares has been determined in whole by reference to the bid price of the shares on the TSX-V at each reporting date. Warrants have been received as attachments to share purchase units and do not trade in an active market. At the time of purchase the per unit cost is allocated in full to each common share. The Company determines the value of the warrants at each reporting date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.
A summary of the marketable security transactions for six months ended June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019 is as follows:

5. Subsidiary information
As part of the purchase agreement with Panarc Resources Ltd. (“Panarc”), as described in note 6(b), the Company acquired a 100% interest in the shares of Manta Minerals Corporation (“Manta”), a company incorporated in the State of Nevada, USA. A nominal amount of $1 was allocated to the share purchase.
Panarc incorporated Manta to hold title to its mineral property interests in Nevada, as it is a requirement in the USA that title to USA mineral interests be held by US corporations. Since incorporation Manta has had no transactions other than to hold title to the Nevada mineral claims. All costs to acquire or explore the claims were incurred by Panarc prior to the sale to Silver Range, and by Silver Range after the sale. Other than to hold title to the Nevada minerals claims, Manta has no assets or liabilities, and has had no transactions since being acquired by Silver Range.
6. Mineral property interests
The Company’s mineral property interests include various mineral properties located in the Yukon Territory, Northwest Territories, and Nunavut in Canada and in Nevada, USA. Properties which are in close proximity and could be developed as a single economic unit are grouped into projects.

Commitment to issue shares
On April 1, 2019, the Company entered into a revised Consulting Agreement with Paladin Corp., a company controlled by the President and CEO of the Company. The Consulting Agreement terminated on March 31, 2020 and was extended by way of an Amending Agreement effective April 1, 2020 for twelve months to March 31, 2021.
Pursuant to the Amending Agreement, Paladin Corp. will continue to receive a monthly consulting fee of $11,250 in cash and shares, of which a minimum of 50% of the fee and, at the sole discretion of Paladin Corp., up to a maximum of 100% of the fee will be payable in common shares of the Company. All other terms of the Amending Agreement are unchanged from the original revised Consulting Agreement. The consulting fee is paid/accrued on a monthly basis, and the common shares are issuable semi-annually. Amounts rendered by Paladin Corp. are recorded within both operating expenses and mineral property interests (notes 11,13).
All share issuances are subject to regulatory approval, including TSX-V acceptance, and are subject to such hold periods as are required by the TSX-V and applicable regulatory authorities. The number of common shares to be issued by the Company is calculated at the end of each month during which services are provided, at a deemed price per share equal to the Market Price of the Company's shares (as that term is defined in the policies of the TSX-V) on the last day of each such month on which the shares of the Company traded, minus 50% of the maximum discount permitted by those policies.
As at June 30, 2020, the Company has accrued a commitment for $23,625, which was accrued for the three months ended June 30, 2020, comprised of $21,107 included within operating expenses and $1,393 capitalized as mineral property costs (both amounts are before applicable sales taxes)
As at June 30, 2020, the accrual represents the future issuance of an estimated 248,535 common shares to Paladin Corp. for services rendered from April 1, 2020 to June 30, 2020. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company issued 412,839 common shares to Paladin Corp. for services rendered from October 1, 2019 to March 31, 2020. (Year ended December 31, 2019 - 389,483 common shares were issued for services from April 1, 2019 to September 30, 2019).
As at December 31, 2019, $17,719 was accrued of which $11,259 was included as part of operating expenses and $6,460 capitalized as mineral property costs.
Stock options
The Company has adopted an incentive stock option plan (the “Plan”). The essential elements of the Plan provide that the aggregate number of common shares of the Company’s capital stock issuable pursuant to options granted under the Plan may not exceed 10% of the number of issued shares of the Company at the time of grant. Options granted under the Plan may have a maximum term of ten years. A participant who is not a consultant conducting investor relations activities, who is granted an option that is exercisable at or above the market price at the date of grant, can have their options vest immediately, unless otherwise determined by the Board of Directors. A participant who is a consultant conducting investor relations activities, who is granted options under the Plan, will become vested with the right to exercise one-quarter of the options upon conclusion of every three months subsequent to the grant date. All options are to be settled by physical delivery of common shares.

| 3,745,000 | 2.26 | 0.21 |
During the six months ended June 30, 2020, 300,000 stock options were granted to a new Director and a consultant. The stock options are exercisable at $0.11 each and expire on January 13, 2025. The Company recorded the fair value of all options granted using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Share-based payment expense was calculated using the following weighted average assumptions: expected life of options – five years, stock price volatility – 88.00%, no dividend yield, and a risk-free interest rate yield – 1.61%. The fair value is particularly impacted by the Company’s stock price volatility, determined using data from the previous five years.
Using the above assumptions, the fair value weighted average of options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2020, was $0.05 per option, for a total of $15,242. The total share-based payment expense for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was $7,938 (2019 - $14,040) and includes only options that vested during the period.
During the six months ended June 30, 2020, 220,000 options were cancelled as a result of a Director leaving employment. As a result, the original share-based payments expense of $39,444 was reversed from contributed surplus and credited to deficit.
During the six months ended June 30, 2019, no stock options were granted, exercised or cancelled.

Warrants
As an incentive to complete private placements, the Company may issue units which include common shares and common share purchase warrants. Using the residual value method, the Company determines whether a value should be allocated to warrants attached to units sold in completed private placements. Finders’ warrants may be issued as a private placement share issue cost and are valued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.
A summary of the Company’s common share purchase warrants as at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 and changes during the period/year then ended is as follows:

Contributed surplus
Contributed surplus is comprised of the accumulated fair value of stock options recognized as share-based payments and the value of previously forfeited common shares. Contributed surplus is increased by the fair value of stock options on vesting and is reduced by corresponding amounts when the options expire or are exercised or cancelled. Future fluctuations in contributed surplus may also include the fair value of finders’ warrants issued on private placements and corresponding reductions when the warrants expire or are exercised.

The calculation of basic and diluted loss per share for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was based on the loss of $236,697 (2019 - $225,397) and a weighted average number of common shares outstanding of 76,484,911 (2019 – 73,223,811).
All stock options and warrants were excluded from the diluted weighted average number of common shares calculation, as their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

As at June 30, 2020, the Company has unclaimed resource and other deductions in the amount of approximately $21,800,000 (December 31, 2019 - $21,738,000), which may be deducted against future taxable income. These costs are approximately $17,731,000 more than the carrying value of the mineral property interests mainly because of the large impairment charges in both 2018 and 2015. The tax benefit of approximately $4,787,000 on the difference has not been recognized for tax purposes as there is no certainty that there will be adequate taxable income to utilize the deductions.
As at June 30, 2020, the Company has unused non-capital losses of approximately $4,115,000 of which $219,000 will expire in 2031, $576,000 in 2032, $551,000 in 2033, $372,000 in 2034, $303,000 in 2035 and $2,094,000 thereafter.

15. Financial risk management
Capital management
The Company is a junior resource exploration company and considers items included in shareholders’ equity as capital. The Company has no debt and does not expect to enter into debt financing. The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of underlying assets. In order to maintain or adjust its capital structure, the Company may issue new shares, purchase shares for cancellation pursuant to normal course issuer bids or make special distributions to shareholders. The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements and does not presently utilize any quantitative measures to monitor its capital. The Company’s capital structure as at June 30, 2020, is comprised of shareholders’ equity of $4,671,348 (December 31, 2019 - $4,349,463).
The Company currently has no source of revenues. In order to fund future projects and pay for administrative costs, the Company will spend its existing working capital and raise additional funds as needed. The Company's ability to continue as a going concern on a long-term basis and realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business rather than through a process of forced liquidation is primarily dependent upon its ability to sell or option its mineral properties and its ability to borrow or raise additional financing from equity markets.
Financial instruments - fair value
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, other receivables, marketable securities, reclamation deposits, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, accounts payable to related parties, and lease liability.
The carrying value of other receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and accounts payable to related parties approximated their fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments. The carrying value of lease liability approximates its fair value due to bearing a market rate of interest.
Financial instruments measured at fair value on the statements of financial position are summarized into the following fair value hierarchy levels:
-
Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
-
Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).
Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

15. Financial risk management (continued)
Financial instruments - risk
The Company’s financial instruments can be exposed to certain financial risks, including credit risk, interest rate risk, liquidity risk and market and currency risk.
(a) Credit risk
The Company is exposed to credit risk by holding cash and cash equivalents. This risk is minimized by holding the funds in Canadian banks or with Canadian governments. The Company has minimal accounts receivable exposure as its refundable credits are due from the Canadian government.
(b) Interest rate risk
The Company is exposed to interest rate risk because of fluctuating interest rates. Fluctuations in market rates do not have a significant impact on the Company’s operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, every 1% fluctuation in interest rates would have impacted loss for the period by approximately $2,000 (2019 - $2,000) before income taxes.
(c) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company is unable to meet its financial obligations as they come due. The Company manages this risk by careful management of its working capital to ensure its expenditures will not exceed available resources.
(d) Market risk
The Company is exposed to market risk because of the fluctuating values of its marketable securities. The Company has no control over these fluctuations and does not hedge its investments. Based on the June 30, 2020 portfolio value, every 10% increase or decrease in the share price of the securities would have impacted loss for the period by approximately $9,000 (2019 - $13,000) before income taxes.
(e) Currency risk
The Company is exposed to currency risk because it holds funds and receivables in United States Dollars (“USD”), which, because of fluctuating exchange rates can create gains or losses at the time the funds are converted to Canadian dollars. The Company has no control over these fluctuations and does not hedge its foreign currency holdings. Based on its June 30, 2020 USD holdings, every 5% increase or decrease in the exchange rate would have impacted loss for the period by approximately $5,000 (2019 - $3,000) before income taxes.
16. Events after the reporting period
-
(a) On July 7, 2020, the Company entered into a Property Purchase Agreement (the “PP Agreement”) with Trifecta in respect of the Yuge Property, which had previously been under an option agreement, that would allow Trifecta to earn a 75% interest (Note 6(b)(v)).
