SILVER SANDS RESOURCES CORP. (formerly Golden Opportunity Resources Corp.) NOTES TO THE CONDENSED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JULY 31, 2021 AND 2020 (Expressed in Canadian dollars) (unaudited)
1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS
Silver Sands Resources Corp. (the “Company” or “Silver Sands”) (formerly “Golden Opportunity Resources Corp.”) was incorporated on January 31, 2018 under the laws of British Columbia. The address of the Company’s corporate office and its principal place of business is 830-1100 Melville Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. On, November 27, 2019, the Company’s common shares commenced trading on the Canadian Securities Exchange (the “Exchange”). On June 8, 2020, the Company changed its name to Silver Sands Resources Corp. and changed its symbol to “SAND”.
The Company’s principal business activities include the acquisition and exploration of mineral property assets. As at January 31, 2021, the Company had not yet determined whether the Company’s mineral property asset contains ore reserves that are economically recoverable. The recoverability of amount shown for exploration and evaluation asset is dependent upon the discovery of economically recoverable reserves, confirmation of the Company’s interest in the underlying mineral claims, the ability of the Company to obtain the necessary financing to complete the development of and the future profitable production from the property or realizing proceeds from its disposition. The outcome of these matters cannot be predicted at this time and the uncertainties cast significant doubt upon the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company had a deficit of $3,030,213 as at July 31, 2021, which has been funded by the issuance of equity. The Company’s ability to continue its operations and to realize its assets at their carrying values is dependent upon obtaining additional financing and generating revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs.
These unaudited condensed interim financial statements do not give effect to any adjustments which would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern and therefore be required to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in other than the normal course of business and at amounts different from those reflected in these financial statements.

6. SHARE CAPITAL (continued)
e) Stock Options:
The Company adopted a Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”). Under the Plan, the Company can issue up to 10% of the issued and outstanding common shares as incentive stock options to directors, officers, employees, and consultants to the Company. The Plan limits the number of stock options which may be granted to any one individual to not more than 5% of the total issued common shares of the Company in any 12-month period. The Plan also limits the stock options which may be granted to any one individual if the exercise would result in the issuance of common shares more than 2% in any 12-month period. The number of options granted to any one consultant or a person employed to provide investor relations activities in any 12-month period must not exceed 2% of the total issued common shares of the Company. As well, stock options granted under the Plan may be subject to vesting provisions as determined by the Board of Directors.
On February 12, 2021, the Company granted 50,000 stock options to consultants of the Company at an exercise price of $0.25 for a period of five years from the date of grant, with all options vested immediately upon grant. The fair value of these options was calculated using the BlackScholes model with the following assumptions: average exercise price $0.25, expected life 5 years, risk-free dividend equivalent yield 0.509%, annualized volatility 100%, dividend rate 0%. Accordingly, the fair value of these options was calculated to be $9,200.
On December 4, 2020, the Company granted 250,000 stock options to certain directors and officers of the Company at an exercise price of $0.255 for a period of five years from the date of grant, with all options vested immediately upon grant.

8. MANAGEMENT OF CAPITAL
The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern in order to pursue the sourcing and exploration of its resource property. The Company does not have any externally imposed capital requirements to which it is subject.
The Company considers the aggregate of its share capital, contributed surplus and deficit as capital. The Company manages the capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may attempt to issue new shares or dispose of assets or adjust the amount of cash.
9. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FINANCIAL RISK
The Company uses the following hierarchy for determining and disclosing fair value of financial instruments:
Level 1 - quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2 - inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); and
Level 3 - inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
The Company has classified its cash and GST receivables measured at fair value in the statement of financial position using level 1 inputs. Accounts payable are classified as other liabilities, and their fair values approximate their carrying values due to the short terms to maturity.
Financial risk management objectives and policies
The Company’s financial instruments include cash, loan payable, and accounts payable. The risks associated with these financial instruments and the policies on how to mitigate these risks are set out below.
Management manages and monitors these exposures to ensure appropriate measures are implemented on a timely and effective manner.
(i) Currency risk
The Company’s expenses are denominated in Canadian dollars. The Company’s corporate office is based in Canada and current exposure to exchange rate fluctuations is minimal.

9. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FINANCIAL RISK (continued)
Financial risk management objectives and policies (continued)
The Company does not have any significant foreign currency denominated monetary liabilities. The principal business of the Company is the identification and evaluation of assets and once identified or evaluated, to negotiate an acquisition or participation in a business subject to receipt of shareholder approval and acceptance by regulatory authorities.
(ii) Interest rate risk
The Company is exposed to interest rate risk on the variable rate of interest earned on bank deposits. The fair value interest rate risk on bank deposits is insignificant as the deposits are short-term.
The Company has not entered into any derivative instruments to manage interest rate fluctuations.
(iii) Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of loss associated with the counterparty’s inability to fulfill its payment obligations. Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risks consist principally of cash. To minimize the credit risk the Company places these instruments with a high quality financial institution.
(iv) Liquidity risk
In the management of liquidity risk of the Company, the Company maintains a balance between continuity of funding and the flexibility through the use of borrowings. Management closely monitors the liquidity position and expects to have adequate sources of funding to finance the Company’s projects and operations.
COVID-19 Pandemic
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, customers, economies, and financial markets globally, potentially leading to an economic downturn. It has also disrupted the normal operations of many businesses, including ours. This outbreak could decrease spending, adversely affect demand for natural resources and harm our business and results of operations. It is not possible for us to predict the duration or magnitude of the adverse results of the outbreak and its effects on our business or results of operations at this time.
