Golden Tag Resources Ltd. Notes to Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements For the period ended March 31, 2020 (unaudited) – CAD $

1. Nature of operation and going concern assumption

Golden Tag Resources Ltd. (“the Company”) is incorporated under the Canada Business Corporations Act and is in the process of exploring its mineral properties and has not yet determined whether those properties contain ore reserves that are economically recoverable. The address of Golden Tag Resources Ltd.’s registered office and its principal place of business are 3608 Boul. St-Charles, Suite 16, Kirkland, Quebec, Canada. Golden Tag Resources Ltd.’s shares are listed on the TSX Venture Exchange, trading under the symbol “GOG.”

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements comprise the financial statements of Golden Tag Resources Ltd. and its wholly owned subsidiary, Golden Tag de Mexico S.A., incorporated in Mexico.

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on the basis of the going concern assumption, meaning the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of operations. The Company has not yet determined whether its mineral properties contain mineral deposits that are economically recoverable, and the Company has not yet generated income or cash flows from its operations.

The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to raise additional financing to further explore its mineral properties and support its administrative overhead. Even if the Company has been successful in the past in doing so, there is no assurance that it will manage to obtain additional financing in the future. The Company’s business involves a high degree of risk and there is no assurance that the Company will be successful in discovering economically recoverable deposits on its mineral property.

These factors indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt regarding the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. These condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not include any adjustments to the classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary, should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

2. Basis of presentation

Statement of compliance

==> picture [53 x 48] intentionally omitted <==

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in compliance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) under international Accounting Standard (“IAS”) 34 – Interim Financial Reporting. Condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not include all the notes required in annual financial statements and accordingly, should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019

Basis of measurement

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, unless otherwise stated.

Functional and presentation currency

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, unless otherwise stated, which is the Company’s functional currency. The functional currency of the Company’s Mexican subsidiary is the US dollar. The Company has adopted the Canadian dollar as its presentation currency.

3. Summary of significant accounting policies

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements were prepared using the same accounting policies, methods of computation and basis of presentation as outlined in Note 3 – Summary of Accounting Policies, as described in the Company’s

8

Golden Tag Resources Ltd. Notes to Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements For the period ended March 31, 2020 (unaudited) – CAD $

annual audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019, except for the changes in accounting policies resulting from the adoption of new standards as described below.

IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements

IAS 1 sets out the overall requirements for financial statements, including how they should be structured, the minimum requirements for their content and overriding concepts such as going concern, the accrual basis of accounting and the current/non-current distinction. The standard requires a complete set of financial statements to comprise a statement of financial position, a statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, a statement of changes in equity and a statement of cash flows. IAS 1 has been revised to incorporate a new definition of “material” and IAS 8 has been revised to refer to this new definition in IAS 1.

==> picture [50 x 53] intentionally omitted <==

The adoption of the standard did not impact the condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

IAS 8, Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors

IAS 8 is applied in selecting and applying accounting policies, accounting for changes in estimates and reflecting corrections of prior period errors. The standard requires compliance with any specific IFRS applying to a transaction, event or condition, and provides guidance on developing accounting policies for other items that result in relevant and reliable information. Changes in accounting policies and corrections of errors are generally retrospectively accounted for, whereas changes in accounting estimates are generally accounted for on a prospective basis.

The adoption of the standard did not impact the condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

4. Critical accounting estimates, judgments and assumptions

==> picture [46 x 48] intentionally omitted <==

When preparing the condensed consolidated interim financial statements, management undertakes a number of judgements, estimates and assumptions about recognition and measurement of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. The actual results are likely to differ from the judgments, estimates and assumptions made by management, and will seldom equal the estimated results. Information about the significant judgments, estimates and assumptions that have the most significant effect on the recognition and measurement of assets, liabilities, income and expenses are detailed in note 4 of the Company\s annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019.

5. Segment reporting

IFRS 8 requires operating segments to be identified on the basis of internal reports on the performance of the managerial units of the Company to the Board of Directors. An analysis of the Company’s business segments is set out below:

13. Capital management policies and procedures

When managing capital, the Company’s objective is to ensure the entity continues as a going concern as well as to maintain optimal returns to shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders. The Company’s capital items are cash, marketable securities and common shares. Management adjusts the capital structure as necessary in order to support the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral properties. The Board of Directors does not establish quantitative return on capital criteria for management, but rather relies on the expertise of the Company’s management team to sustain the future development of the business.

The property in which the Company currently has an interest is in the exploration stage. As such the Company is dependent on external financing to fund its activities. In order to carry out the planned exploration and pay for administrative costs, the Company will spend its existing working capital and raise additional amounts as needed. The Company will continue to assess new properties and seek to acquire an interest in additional properties if it feels there is sufficient potential and if it has adequate financial resources to do so. Management reviews its capital management approach on an ongoing basis and believes that this approach, given the relative size of the Company, is appropriate.

There were no changes in the Company’s approach to capital management during the period ended March 31, 2020. The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements.

14. Financial instruments risks

The Company is exposed to various risks in relation to financial instruments. The Company's financial assets and liabilities by category are summarized in Note 3. The main types of risks are market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Company's risk management is coordinated in close cooperation with the Board of Directors, and focuses on actively securing the Company's short- to medium-term cash flows by minimizing the exposure to financial markets. The Company does not actively engage in the trading of financial assets for speculative purposes.

The most significant financial risks to which the Company is exposed are described below. The Company is exposed to market risk through its use of financial instruments and specifically to currency risk and market risk on the marketable securities. No changes were made in the objectives, policies and processes during the reporting periods.

Foreign currency risk

Most of the Company's transactions are carried out in Canadian dollars. Exposures to currency exchange rates arise from the Company's expenses in foreign currency, which are primarily denominated in US dollars and Mexican Pesos since a portion of the Company’s expenditures related to exploration and evaluation activities are incurred in US dollars and Mexican Pesos. The Company does not enter into arrangements to hedge its foreign exchange risk.

Financial instruments denominated in foreign currency are as follows:

At March 31, 2020, with other variables unchanged, a 10% change in the US/CDN and Peso/CDN exchange rate would impact pre-tax income by approximately $247 and $424 respectively (2019 - $107 and $486). Exposure to foreign exchange rates varies during the year depending on the volume of foreign transaction

Credit risk

The Company's maximum exposure to credit risk is limited to the carrying amount of financial assets. The credit risk is considered negligible, since the counterparties are reputable banks with high quality external credit ratings.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk management serves to maintain a sufficient amount of cash and to ensure that the Company has financing sources such as private and public investments for a sufficient amount.

The Company's liabilities have contractual maturities (including interest payments where applicable) as summarized below:

Trade payables
March 31, 2020
$
December 31, 2019
$
8,534
21,225

Since March 31, 2020, the outbreak of the novel strain of coronavirus, specifically identified as "COVID-19", has resulted in governments worldwide enacting emergency measures to combat the spread of the virus. These measures, which include the implementation of travel bans, self-imposed quarantine periods and social distancing, have caused material disruption to businesses globally resulting in an economic slowdown. Global equity markets have experienced significant volatility and weakness. Governments and central banks have reacted with significant monetary and fiscal interventions designed to stabilize economic conditions. The duration and impact of the COVID-19 outbreak is unknown at this time, as is the efficacy of the government and central bank interventions. It is not possible to reliably estimate the length and severity of these developments and the impact on the financial results and condition of the Company in future periods.
