1 Nature of operations
Silver Tiger Metals Inc. (previously Oceanus Resources Corporation) (the “Company”) was incorporated under the Canada Business Corporations Act on June 14, 2010. Its common shares are listed on the TSX Venture Exchange (the “Exchange”) under the trading symbol SLVR and on the OTCQX under the trading symbol SLVTF. The Company’s registered office is located at Suite 2108, 1969 Upper Water Street, Halifax, Nova Scotia. The Company has one reportable and one geographic segment.
The Company is a mineral exploration company engaged in locating and acquiring high quality projects and exploring for silver and gold. To date, the Company has not generated any revenue and is considered to be in the exploration stage. The Company is in the process of exploring and evaluating its resource properties in Mexico. The recoverability of amounts spent for the acquisition, exploration and development of the resource properties is dependent upon the discovery of economically recoverable reserves, the ability of the Company to obtain the necessary financing to complete the exploration and development of its properties, and upon future profitable production or proceeds from the disposition of the properties. The operations of the Company will require various licenses and permits from governmental authorities which are or may be granted subject to various conditions and may be subject to renewal from time to time. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to comply with such conditions and obtain or retain all necessary licenses and permits that may be required to carry out exploration, development and mining operations at its projects. Failure to comply with these conditions may render the licenses liable to forfeiture.
COVID-19
On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared a pandemic following the emergence and rapid spread of a novel strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”). The Company’s business could be adversely affected by the effects of the continued spread of COVID-19. Since early March 2020, significant measures have been implemented in Canada, Mexico and the rest of the world by governmental authorities in response to COVID19. The Company cannot accurately predict the impact COVID-19 will have on the ability of third parties to meet their obligations with the Company, including due to uncertainties relating to the ultimate geographic spread of the virus, the severity of the disease, the duration of the outbreak, and the length of travel and quarantine restrictions imposed by governments of affected countries. In particular, the continued spread of COVID-19 globally could materially and adversely impact the Company’s business including without limitation, employee health, limitations on travel, the availability of industry experts and personnel, restrictions on planned drill and exploration programs, and other factors that depend on future developments beyond the Company’s control. In addition, COVID-19 has resulted in a widespread health crisis that has adversely affected economies and financial markets of many countries, including Canada and Mexico, resulting in an economic downturn that may negatively impact the Company’s financial position, financial performance, cash flows and its ability to raise capital.

1 Nature of operations (continued)
COVID-19 (continued)
Following the completion of the May 2020 private placement financing, and the Mexican Health Ministry's decree which included mining as an essential service effective June 1, 2020, the Company implemented strict COVID-19 protocols to enable the recommencement of exploration activities. Onsite accommodations and sanitation were constructed or improved to meet the higher standards of safety and medical services on site were improved, including mandatory COVID-19 testing of all persons entering the camp. The Company has created a remote isolated camp to minimize physical contact with surrounding communities. While the impact of COVID-19 is expected to be temporary, the current circumstances are dynamic and the impacts of COVID-19 on the Company’s exploration activities cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. The increase in COVID-19 cases globally may impact the Company’s operations due to additional government mandated shutdowns or closures.

Capital stock (continued)
On May 22, 2020, the Company completed a non-brokered private placement raising gross proceeds of $675,000 through the issuance of 9,642,857 units at a price of $0.07 per unit. Each unit consists of one common share and one-half common share purchase warrant. Each full common share purchase warrant entitles the subscriber to acquire one common share at a price of $0.10 until May 22, 2022. At June 30, 2020, the transfer of subscription proceeds aggregating $125,050 remained outstanding. The 1,786,424 units relating to these subscriptions were held in trust at June 30, 2020 and for accounting purposes these units were excluded from the issued number of shares and outstanding number of warrants. The capital stock value of the common shares issued as at June 30, 2020 is net of share issue costs of $4,163.
On May 22, 2020, the Company issued a total of 6,535,366 common shares to settle accounts payable of $392,122 owed to geological services and drilling companies. The difference between the fair value of the common shares issued on May 22, 2020, the date the shares were issued and liability extinguished, and the carrying amount of the accounts payable was recognized as a loss on settlement of accounts payable on the statement of loss and comprehensive loss in the amount of $718,890 (note 13).
Stock options
The Company has a common share purchase option plan (the “Plan”) for directors, officers, employees and consultants. The total number of options issued and outstanding at any time cannot exceed 10% of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Company unless shareholder and regulatory approvals are obtained. Options granted under the Plan have a ten-year term. Options are granted at a price no lower than the market price of the common shares less any discounts allowed by the Exchange at the time of the grant. In determining the stock-based compensation expense, the fair value of options issued is estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Expected volatility is based on actual volatility of similar companies.
The following weighted average assumptions were used in the Black-Scholes option pricing model for the period ended June 30, 2020:
| Risk-free interest rate | 2.25% |
|---|---|
| Expected volatility | 105% |
| Expected dividend yield | – |
| Expected life | 10 years |

Deferred share units
The Company has a deferred share unit plan (the “DSU Plan”) whereby Participants may elect to receive all or a portion of their annual compensation or bonus compensation, if any, in deferred share units (“DSUs”). The election, if it is made, must be for a minimum of 10%, or a multiple thereof, of such compensation in DSUs. The number of DSUs received is equal to the amount of compensation elected to be received in DSUs, divided by the volume-weighted average trading price of the common shares on the TSX for the 5 trading days immediately prior to the payment date. DSUs awarded under the DSU Plan in lieu of annual or bonus compensation will vest immediately.
In addition, the Board of Directors has the authority to make discretionary awards of DSU’s to Participants under the DSU Plan. DSUs granted pursuant to discretionary awards will vest in accordance with the vesting schedule determined by the Board of Directors. Generally, DSUs will vest equally over three years, with onethird of the awarded DSUs vesting on each of the first, second and third anniversaries of the date of the award.
All unvested DSUs will vest immediately in the case of a change of control of the Company. In addition, in the event of the death or termination without cause of a Participant that received DSUs, the Participant’s DSUs will vest immediately. The Board of Directors may at any time shorten the vesting period of any or all DSUs.

Deferred share units (continued)
The maximum number of common shares issuable under the DSU Plan is 10,000,000. Each DSU held by a Participant must be redeemed by the Company within 10 years of the grant for DSU Plan shares issued from treasury. Each vested DSU held by a Participant who ceases to be an eligible employee, director or officer shall be redeemed by the Company effective as at the separation date for DSU Plan shares issued from treasury.
The fair value of the DSU’s is determined based on the Company’s trading price of its common shares on the day of the grant.
On May 22, 2020, the Board of Directors approved the issuance of 1,450,000 DSUs to officers and an employee of the Company. The 1,450,000 DSU’s vest immediately and the grant date fair value amounted to $225,000.
The Company recognized $2,000 in stock-based compensation expense to the consolidated statement of loss and comprehensive loss for the period ended June 30, 2021, in relation to the outstanding DSUs.

The Company manages credit risk by holding its cash and cash equivalents with high quality financial institutions in Canada, where management believes the risk of loss to be low. The Company also has approximately $1.3 million of Mexican VAT receivable as at June 30, 2021. The Company has recorded the VAT to resource properties. While the Company is still pursuing collection, with the delay in processing and collection, management determined that it was appropriate to reclassify this amount to the resource property to which the VAT paid is related. The timing and amount of the VAT ultimately collectible could be materially different from the amount recorded in the consolidated financial statements.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Company’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions.

11 Financial instruments and other (continued)
Liquidity risk (continued)
Management concluded that the Company has sufficient cash on hand to meet its obligations as they become due for the next twelve months, considering the Company’s planned exploration and development activities on its resource properties. The Company has the ability to scale its exploration and development activities, and will do so as necessary, based on cash availability. The Company will need to raise further financing to fund future additional exploration and development activities.
Market risk
Market risk is the risk of loss that may arise from changes in market factors such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates and commodity and equity prices.
- a) Interest rate risk
The Company has no interest-bearing debt, except for the loan payable (note 8), and is not exposed to any significant interest rate risk.
b) Foreign currency risk
The Company operates in Mexico, giving rise to foreign currency risk. To limit the Company’s exposure to this risk, cash is primarily held with high quality financial institutions in Canada.
As at June 30, 2021, the Company held the following financial instruments in foreign currencies:
| US$ | Pesos | |
|---|---|---|
| Cash | 6,912 | 378,332 |
| Accounts payable and accrued liabilities | 521,296 | 5,281,432 |
c) Price risk
The Company is not exposed to any direct price risk other than that associated with commodities and how fluctuations impact companies in the mineral exploration and mining industries as the Company has no significant revenues.

13 Accounts payable settlement adjustment
The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the three-months period ended June 30, 2020 reported the issuance of 6,535,366 common shares pursuant to agreements to settle $392,122 of accounts payable. The number of common shares issued to settle these accounts payable was agreed upon when the Company’s share price was $0.06 and accounted for at such value in the June 30, 2020 unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements. The common shares were issued on May 22, 2020, following regulatory approval, and the accounts payable were extinguished. The common shares should have been recognized at the trading price on the date of issuance, which was $0.17, and the difference between the carrying amounts of the extinguished liability and the common shares recognized as gain or loss through the statement of loss and comprehensive loss. The adjustment has been reflected in the comparative amounts in these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements.
