Silver Range Resources Ltd. Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2020 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

To the Shareholders of Silver Range Resources Ltd.

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Silver Range Resources Ltd. (the “Company”), which comprise the consolidated statements of financial position as at December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the consolidated statements of changes in shareholders’ equity, income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss), and cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

In our opinion, these consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2020 and 2019, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”).

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audits in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the consolidated financial statements in Canada, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained in our audits is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Other Information

Management is responsible for the other information. The other information obtained at the date of this auditor's report includes Management’s Discussion and Analysis.

Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

We obtained Management’s Discussion and Analysis prior to the date of this auditor’s report. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Consolidated Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

  • Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control.

  • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.

  • Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.

  • Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

  • Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Company to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

The engagement partner on the audit resulting in this independent auditor’s report is Stephen Hawkshaw.

Silver Range Resources Ltd. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

For the years ended December 31, 2020 and December 31, 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 Territory, Northwest Territories and Nunavut in Canada, and in 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 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 December 31, 2020, the Company had working capital of $856,760 (December 31, 2019 - $259,448), and shareholders’ equity of $5,109,489 (December 31, 2019 - $4,349,463). Subsequent to December 31, 2020, the Company completed a private placement for gross proceeds of $582,500 (note 16(b)). 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.

Silver Range Resources Ltd. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

For the years ended December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019

2. Significant accounting policies

(a) Basis of presentation

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards and Interpretations (collectively, “IFRS”), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”).

These financial statements have been prepared on an historical cost basis, except for financial instruments which are classified as fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”). In addition, these financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting, except for cash flow information.

All amounts on these financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars which is the functional currency of the Company and its subsidiary.

(b) Principles of consolidation

These financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiary.

Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Company and are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases. The accounting policies of subsidiaries are changed where necessary to align them with the policies adopted by the Company.

Associates are those entities in which the Company has significant influence, but not control over the financial and operating policies. Significant influence is presumed to exist when the Company holds between 20 and 50 percent of the voting power of another entity. Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method (equity accounted investees) and are recognized initially at cost. When applicable, the financial statements include the Company’s share of the income and expenses and equity movements of equity accounted investees, after adjustments to align the accounting policies with those of the Company from the date that significant influence or joint control commences, until the date that significant influence or joint control ceases. When the Company’s share of losses exceeds its interest in an equity accounted investee, the carrying amount of that interest, including any long-term investments, is reduced to nil, and the recognition of further losses is discontinued, except to the extent that the Company has an obligation, or has made payments on behalf of the investee. The Company has no associates requiring equity accounting.

A jointly controlled operation is a joint venture carried on by each venturer using its own assets in pursuit of the joint operations. When applicable, the financial statements include the assets that the Company controls and the liabilities that it incurs in the course of pursuing the joint operation and its share of any revenues and expenses from the joint operation.

Inter-company balances and transactions, and any unrealized income and expenses arising from inter-company transactions, are eliminated in preparing the financial statements. Unrealized gains arising from transactions with equity accounted investees are eliminated against the investment, to the extent of the Company’s interest in the investee. Unrealized losses are eliminated in the same way as unrealized gains, but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment.

Silver Range Resources Ltd. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

For the years ended December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019

2. Significant accounting policies (continued)

  • (c) Financial instruments

The Company classifies its financial instruments in the following categories: as FVTPL, financial assets at amortized cost and other financial liabilities at amortized cost. The classification depends on the purpose for which the financial assets or liabilities were acquired or incurred. Management determines the classification of financial assets and liabilities at initial recognition.

Recognition

The Company recognizes financial assets and financial liabilities on the date the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments.

Classification

  • The Company classifies its financial assets and financial liabilities using the following measurement categories:

  • (a) Those to be measured subsequently at fair value (either through other comprehensive income (loss) or through profit or loss); and

  • (b) Those to be measured at amortized cost.

The classification of financial assets depends on the business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual terms of the cash flows. Financial liabilities are classified as those to be measured at amortized cost unless they are designated as those to be measured subsequently at fair value through profit or loss (an irrevocable election at the time of recognition). For assets and liabilities measured at fair value, gains and losses are either recorded in profit or loss or other comprehensive income (loss).

The Company reclassifies financial assets when and only when its business model for managing those assets changes. Financial liabilities are not reclassified.

Silver Range Resources Ltd. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

For the years ended December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019

2. Significant accounting policies (continued)

(c) Financial instruments (continued)

The Company’s marketable securities are classified as FVTPL. Marketable securities held in companies with an active market are classified as current assets at fair value. Marketable securities held in non-public companies without an active market are classified as non-current assets and are valued at fair value. In situations where fair value is indeterminable or impracticable to determine, the shares are recorded at cost. This may occur when nonpublic company shares are received as payment for mineral property interests. In such situations cost is determined by reference to the issue price of similar shares issued by the non-public entity for cash, at or near the time of issue of the investment shares, and in similar volumes. When, at future measurement dates fair value is still indeterminable, or impracticable, cost is used as the measure of fair value.

Cash and cash equivalents and reclamation deposits are classified as FVTPL and are accounted for at fair value. Other receivables are classified as amortized cost and are accounted for using the effective interest rate method.

Derivative financial assets

Warrants are classified as derivative financial assets and are recorded at FVTPL. Warrants without an active market that are received as attachments to common share units are initially recorded at nominal amounts. At the time of purchase the total unit cost is allocated in full to each common share. Subsequent value is determined at measurement date using a valuation technique, such as the Black-Scholes option pricing model, or when the valuation technique input variables are not reliable, using the intrinsic value, which is equal to the higher of the market value of the underlying security, less the exercise price of the warrant, or zero.

Other financial liabilities

The Company has the following other financial liabilities: accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and accounts payable to related parties.

Such financial liabilities are recognized initially at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition these financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Interest expense is recorded to profit or loss.

(d) Mineral property interests

The acquisition costs of mineral property interests and any subsequent exploration and evaluation costs are capitalized until the property to which they relate is placed into production, sold, allowed to lapse or abandoned. Exploration and evaluation costs incurred prior to obtaining ownership, or the right to explore a property, are expensed as incurred as property examination costs. Mineral property interests that have close proximity and have the possibility of being developed as a single mine are grouped as projects and are considered separate cash generating units (“CGU”) for the purpose of determining future mineral reserves and impairments.

The acquisition costs include the cash consideration paid and the fair value of any shares issued for mineral property interests being acquired or optioned pursuant to the terms of relevant agreements.

Proceeds received from a partial sale or option of any interest in a property are credited against the carrying value of the property. When the proceeds exceed the carrying costs the excess is recorded in profit or loss in the year the excess is received. When all of the interest in a property is sold, subject only to any retained royalty interests which may exist, the accumulated property costs are written-off, with any gain or loss included in profit or loss in the year the transaction takes place. No initial value is assigned to any retained royalty interest. The royalty interest is subsequently assessed for value by reference to developments on the underlying mineral property.

Management reviews its mineral property interests at each reporting period for signs of impairment and annually after each exploration season to consider if there is impairment in value taking into consideration current year exploration results, or likely gains from the disposition or option of the property. If a property is abandoned or inactive for a prolonged period, or considered to have no future economic potential, the acquisition and deferred exploration and evaluation costs are written-off to profit or loss.

For the years ended December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019

2. Significant accounting policies (continued)

(d) Mineral property interests (continued)

Once an economically viable resource has been determined for an area and the decision to proceed with development has been approved, mineral property interests attributable to that area are first tested for impairment and then reclassified to property and equipment. Subsequent recovery of the resulting carrying value depends on successful development or sale of the undeveloped project. Should a project be put into production, the costs of acquisition, exploration and evaluation will be amortized over the life of the project based on estimated economic reserves. If the carrying value of a project exceeds its estimated net realizable value or value in use, an impairment provision is recorded.

Exploration costs renounced to shareholders pursuant to flow-through share subscription agreements remain capitalized, however, for income tax purposes the Company has no right to claim these costs as tax deductible expenses.

When entitled, the Company records refundable mineral exploration tax credits or incentive grants on an accrual basis and as a reduction of the carrying value of the mineral property interest. When the Company is entitled to non-refundable exploration tax credits, and it is probable that they can be used to reduce future taxable income, a deferred income tax benefit is recognized.

(e) Equipment

Equipment is measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Equipment not available for use is not subject to depreciation. Depreciation on the Company’s equipment, being a right-of-use asset is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease (note 7).

An asset’s residual value, useful life and depreciation method is reviewed at each reporting period and adjusted if appropriate. When parts of an item of equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of equipment.

Subsequent costs that meet the asset recognition criteria are capitalized, while costs incurred that do not extend the economic useful life of an asset are considered repairs and maintenance, which are accounted for as an expense recognized during the period. Gains and losses on disposal of an item are determined by comparing the proceeds from disposal with the carrying amount of the item and recognized in profit or loss.

(f) Impairment

Financial assets

The Company assesses all information available, including on a forward-looking basis, the expected credit losses associated with its assets carried at amortized cost. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk. To assess whether there is a significant increase in credit risk, the Company compares the risk of a default occurring on the asset as the reporting date, with the risk of default as at the date of initial recognition, based on all information available, and reasonable and supportive forwardlooking information.

Non-financial assets

Non-financial assets are reviewed quarterly by management for indicators that carrying value is impaired and may not be recoverable. When indicators of impairment are present the recoverable amount of an asset is evaluated at the CGU level, which is the smallest identifiable group of assets that generates cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets. The recoverable amount of a CGU is the greater of the CGU’s fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. An impairment loss is recognized in profit or loss to the extent that the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount. The Company’s mineral property interest impairment policy is more specifically discussed in note 2(d) above.

(g) Share capital

Common shares are classified as equity. Transaction costs directly attributable to the issue of common shares and share options are recognized as a deduction from equity, net of any tax effects. Common shares issued for consideration other than cash, are valued based on their market value at the date the shares are issued.

When share capital recognized as equity is repurchased, the amount of the consideration paid, which includes directly attributable costs, net of any tax effects, is recognized as a deduction from equity. Share capital is reduced by the average per-common-share carrying amount, with the difference between this amount and the consideration paid, added to or deducted from contributed surplus.

The Company has adopted a residual value method with respect to the measurement of shares and warrants issued as private placement units. The residual value method first allocates value to the more easily measurable component based on fair value and then the residual value, if any, to the less easily measurable component. The Company considers the fair value of common shares issued in a unit private placement to be the more easily measurable component and the common shares are valued at their fair value, as determined by the closing quoted bid price on the issue date. The balance, if any, is allocated to the attached warrants. Any value attributed to the warrants is recorded as contributed surplus.

(h) Flow-through share private placements

As an incentive to complete private placements the Company may issue common shares, which by agreement are designated as flow-through shares. Such agreements require the Company to spend the funds from these placements on qualified exploration expenditures and renounce the expenditures and income tax benefits to the flow-through shareholders, resulting in no exploration deductions to the Company.

The shares are usually issued at a premium to the trading value of the Company’s common shares at the date the private placement closes. The premium is a reflection of the value of the income tax benefits that the Company must pass on to the flow-through shareholders. On issue, share capital is increased only by the non-flow-through share equivalent value. Any premium is recorded as a flow-through share premium liability.

The loss of the tax benefit is recorded as a deferred income tax liability and eliminates the original flow-through share premium liability, with the difference, if any, recorded as a deferred income tax expense. In instances where the Company has unused temporary income tax benefits, or unused non-capital losses or tax credits available to offset the deferred income tax liability, the realization of these income tax benefits is shown as a recovery in profit or loss in the year the deferred income tax liability is recorded.

The deferred income tax liability and reversal of the flow-through share premium liability are recorded on a prorata basis as the required exploration expenditures are completed and renounced to the flow-through shareholders.

2. Significant accounting policies

(i) Share-based payment transactions

The Company has a stock option plan that provides for the granting of options to Officers, Directors, related company employees and consultants to acquire shares of the Company. The fair value of the options is measured on grant date and is recognized as an expense with a corresponding increase in contributed surplus as the options vest.

Options granted to employees and others providing similar services are measured at grant date at the fair value of the instruments issued. Fair value is determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the options were granted. The amount recognized as an expense is adjusted to reflect the actual number of share options that are expected to vest. Each tranche in an award with graded vesting is considered a separate grant with a different vesting date and fair value. Each grant is accounted for on that basis.

Options granted to non-employees are measured at the fair value of the goods or services received, unless that fair value cannot be estimated reliably, in which case the fair value of the equity instruments issued is used. The value of the goods or services is recorded at the earlier of the vesting date, or the date the goods or services are received.

On vesting, share-based payments are recorded as an operating expense and as contributed surplus. When options are exercised the consideration received is recorded as share capital. In addition, the related share-based payments originally recorded as contributed surplus are transferred to share capital. When an option is cancelled or expires, the initial recorded value is reversed from contributed surplus and credited to deficit.

(j) Environmental rehabilitation

An obligation to incur restoration, rehabilitation and environmental costs arises when environmental disturbance is caused by the exploration, development or ongoing production of a mineral property interest. The estimated costs arising from the decommissioning of plant and other site preparation work, discounted to their net present value, are determined, and capitalized at the start of each project to the carrying amount of the asset, as soon as the obligation to incur such costs arises. Discount rates, using a pre-tax rate that reflects the time value of money, are used to calculate the net present value. These costs are charged against profit or loss over the economic life of the related asset, through amortization using either the unit-of-production or the straight-line method. The related liability is adjusted at each reporting date for the unwinding of the discount rate, for changes to the current market-based discount rate, and for changes to the amount or timing of the underlying cash flows needed to settle the obligation. Costs for restoration of subsequent site damage which is created on an ongoing basis during production are provided for at their net present values and charged against profits as extraction progresses.

The Company has no known restoration, rehabilitation or environmental costs, of any significance, related to its mineral property interests.

2. Significant accounting policies (continued)

(k) Income taxes

Income tax expense is comprised of current and deferred income taxes. Current income tax and deferred income tax are recognized in profit or loss, except to the extent that they relate to items recognized directly in equity or equity investments.

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 in respect of previous years.

Deferred income tax is recognized in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred income tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they reverse, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current income tax liabilities and assets, and they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority for the same taxable entity. A deferred income tax asset is recognized for unused tax losses, tax credits and deductible temporary differences, to the extent that it is probable that future taxable income will be available against which they can be utilized. Deferred income tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related income tax benefit will be realized.

(l) Earnings (loss) per share

The Company presents basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share (“EPS”) data for its common shares. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to common shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year, adjusted for own shares held. Diluted EPS is determined by dividing the profit or loss attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, adjusted for own shares held and for the effects of all potential dilutive common shares related to outstanding stock options and warrants issued by the Company.

(m) Use of estimates and critical judgments

The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the year. Actual results could differ from those estimates and judgments. Those areas requiring the use of management estimates and judgments include:

Estimates

  • (i) Option or sale agreements, under which the Company may receive shares (marketable securities) as payment, require the Company to determine the fair value of the shares received. Many factors can enter into this determination, including, if public shares, the number of shares received, the trading value of the shares, and volume of shares, and if non-public shares, the underlying asset value of the shares, or value of the claims under option or sale. This determination is subjective and does not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of the shares received.

  • (ii) Recorded costs of flow-through share premium liabilities reflect the premium received by the Company on the issue of flow-through shares. The premium is subject to measurement uncertainly and requires the Company to assess the value of non-flow through shares. This determination is subjective and does not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of the premium liability.

  • (iii) The determination of the fair value of stock options or compensatory warrants using stock pricing models requires the input of highly subjective variables, including expected price volatility. Wide fluctuations in the variables could materially affect the fair value estimate; therefore, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of the Company’s stock options and warrants.

2. Significant accounting policies (continued)

  • (m) Use of estimates and critical judgments (continued)

Judgments

  • (i) Recorded costs of mineral property interests and deferred exploration and evaluation costs are not intended to reflect present or future values of these properties. The recorded costs are subject to measurement uncertainty and it is reasonably possible, based on existing knowledge, that change in future conditions could require a material change in the recognized amount. Management is required, at each reporting date, to review its mineral property interests for signs of impairment. This is a highly subjective process taking into consideration exploration results, metal prices, economics, financing prospects and sale or option prospects. Management makes these judgments based on information available, but there is no certainty that a property is or is not impaired. Although the Company has taken steps to verify title to mineral properties in which it has an interest, these procedures do not guarantee the Company’s title. Such properties may be subject to prior agreements or transfers and title may be affected by undetected defects.

  • (ii) The assessment of the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern as discussed in Note 1 involves judgment regarding future funding available for its operations and working capital requirements.

  • (iii) The determination of deferred income tax assets or liabilities requires subjective assumptions regarding future income tax rates and the likelihood of utilizing tax carry-forwards. Changes in these assumptions could materially affect the recorded amounts, and therefore do not necessarily provide certainty as to their recorded values.

(n) Standards issued but not yet effective

Certain pronouncements have been issued by the IASB or IFRIC that are effective for accounting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2021. The Company has reviewed these updates and determined that many of these updates are not applicable or consequential to the Company and have been excluded from discussion within these significant accounting policies.

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 the years ended December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 is as follows:

5. Subsidiary information

In July 2016, the Company completed the purchase of various mineral properties located in the Northwest Territories and Nunavut, Canada, and in Nevada, USA, from Panarc Resources Ltd. (“Panarc”). On closing, Panarc was issued 10,000,000 common shares of the Company at a price of $0.205 per share for total consideration of $2,050,000. Panarc did not retain any royalty or other interest in any of the acquired properties. The purchase price was allocated to the various properties based on the hectares of each property.

Also purchased from Panarc in July 2016 was 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.

By agreement dated November 7, 2017, and amended on August 9, 2018, the Company agreed to sell 100% of its Cabin Lake property located in the Northwest Territories, to Rover.

The Company retains a 2% NSR on all mineral production from the Cabin Lake property and Rover is required to make annual advance royalty payments equal to the lesser of $20,000 or 7% of annual exploration expenditures by Rover for each of the calendar years 2019, 2020 and 2021, and thereafter at $20,000 per year. The advance royalty payments cease once a total of $220,000 has been paid.

During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company accrued $20,000 as an advance royalty payment from Rover (2019 - $nil as Rover did not incur any expenditures on the property during the year then ended). The royalty was recognized within gain on sale of mineral property interests as the carrying value of the Cabin Lake property was $nil.

Rover has the right to acquire up to 1.5% of the 2% NSR by making payments of either $750,000 or $1,500,000, depending on the indicated gold reserves that may be reported.

On December 4, 2020, Rover assigned its interest and obligations in the First Option to a private Ontariobased company (the “Assignee”) in addition to amending the timing and amount of expenditures required.

To complete the First Option, the following payments and expenditures are required:

Cash payments of $300,000:

For an additional 25% interest (the “Second Option”) Rover is required to issue Silver Range 2,500,000 common shares by September 30, 2022.

Should Assignee and Rover acquire a collective 100% interest in the property, the Company will retain a 2% NSR from any commercial production, one-half of which may be purchased by Rover for $1,000,000. Advance annual royalty payments of $50,000 will be paid to the Company commencing September 30, 2023.

During the year ended December 31, 2019, a write-off of $76,410 was recorded against the Uptown Gold project as it was determined that the carrying value of the project exceeded the then expected proceeds from the option to Rover.

Commitment to issue shares

On April 1, 2019, the Company entered into a revised Consulting Agreement with Paladin 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 December 31, 2020, the Company has accrued a commitment for $17,719, comprised of $10,829 included within operating expenses and $6,046 capitalized as mineral property costs (both amounts are before applicable sales taxes). On October 29, 2020, the Company issued 297,600 common shares to Paladin Corp. in settlement of the accrued commitment which represents services rendered from April 1, 2020 to September 30, 2020. Additionally, on May 6, 2020, the Company issued 412,839 common shares to Paladin Corp. for services rendered from October 1, 2019 to March 31, 2020, (October 25, 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.

A summary of the status of the Company’s stock options as at December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 and changes during the years then ended is as follows:

3,945,000 1.91 0.21

During the year ended December 31, 2020, 500,000 stock options were granted to a new Director and consultants. The stock options are exercisable at a weighted average price of $0.15 each and expire on January 13, 2025 (300,000), September 2, 2025 (100,000), or November 5, 2025 (100,000). 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 – 89.00%, no dividend yield, and a risk-free interest rate yield – 1.13%. The fair value is particularly impacted by the Company’s stock price volatility, determined using data from the previous five years. During the year ended December 31, 2019, no stock options were granted.

Using the above assumptions, the fair value weighted average of options granted during the year ended December 31, 2020, was $0.09 per option, for an aggregate total of $44,822. The total share-based payment expense for the year ended December 31, 2020 was $21,101 (2019 - $16,156) and includes only options that vested during the year.

During the year ended December 31, 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 year ended December 31, 2019, 1,280,000 options were either cancelled as a result of certain employees, directors, and consultants leaving employment, or expired unexercised. As a result, the original share-based payments expense of $43,926 and $44,557 respectively, was reversed from contributed surplus and credited to deficit.

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 December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 and changes during the years 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.

10. Earnings (loss) per share

The calculation of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share for the years ended December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, is based on the following:

Year ended December 31, December 31,
2020 2019
Income (loss) for the year $ 158,750
$ (485,003)
Weighted average number of common shares outstanding - basic 79,150,912 73,867,423
Dilutive effect of stock options and warrants 82,104 -
Weighted average number of common shares outstanding- diluted 79,233,016 73,867,423
Basic earnings (loss) per share $ $ 0.00
$ (0.01)
Diluted earnings (loss) per share$ $ 0.00 $ (0.01)

The calculation of basic earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2020 was based on the income attributable to common shareholders, and the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. The calculation of diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution of common share equivalents, such as outstanding stock options and warrants, in the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, if dilutive. During the year ended December 31, 2020, certain stock options had a dilutive impact.

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 December 31, 2020, is comprised of shareholders’ equity of $5,109,489 (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, and accounts payable to related parties.

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.

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 receivables 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 year ended December 31, 2020, every 1% fluctuation in interest rates would have impacted income (loss) for the year by approximately $3,000 (2019 - $3,000) 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 December 31, 2020 portfolio value, every 10% increase or decrease in the share price of the securities would have impacted income (loss) for the year by approximately $64,000 (2019 - $20,000) 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 December 31, 2020 USD holdings, every 5% increase or decrease in the exchange rate would have impacted income (loss) for the year by approximately $1,000 (2019 - $3,000) before income taxes.

16. Events after the reporting period

  • (a) On February 19, 2021, the Company signed an Asset Purchase Agreement with Silver47 Exploration Corp. (“Silver47”) to sell Silver47 a 100% interest in the Company’s Michelle project located in the Yukon, Canada.

To complete the purchase, Silver47 is required to:

  • Issue to the Company 19.9% of Silver47’s common shares following a listing on a Canadian securities exchange before March 1, 2022;

  • Grant the Company a 1% NSR royalty. Silver47 will have the right of first refusal on the sale of the royalty; and

  • Making a one-time milestone payment of $1,000,000 in cash or Silver47 common shares upon the declaration of a NI 43-101 compliant resource or reserve estimate in excess of 80,000,000 ounces of silver.

  • (b) On February 24, 2021, the Company closed a non-brokered private placement consisting of the issuance of 2,330,000 units at a price of $0.25 each, for gross proceeds of $582,500. Each unit consists of one common share and one share purchase warrant, with each warrant exercisable at $0.33 until February 24, 2024.
