INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

To the Shareholders of Mines & Metals Trading (Peru) PLC

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Mines & Metals Trading (Peru) PLC (the “Company”), which comprise the consolidated statement of financial position as at December 31, 2020, and the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss, changes in shareholders’ deficit and cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

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

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit 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 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 is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Other Matter

The consolidated financial statements of the Company as at, and for the year ended December 31, 2019 were audited by another auditor who expressed an unmodified opinion on those statements on March 19, 2021.

Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern

We draw attention to Note 1 of the consolidated financial statements, which indicates that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

Other Information

Management is responsible for the other information.

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.

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 are not aware of any other information at this time.

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 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.

SHIM & Associates LLP Chartered Professional Accountants

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 scepticism 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 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 consolidated 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 Dong H. Shim.

MINES & METALS TRADING (PERU) PLC Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements As of December 31, 2020 and 2019 (Expressed in Peruvian Soles)

1. Identification and economic activity

(a) Identification

MINES & METALS TRADING (PERU) PLC (hereinafter “MMTP” or the “Company”), was established on February 22, 2018, being its legal domicile 12 Mount Havelock, Douglas, IM1 2QG, Isle of Man.

MINES & METALS TRADING (PERU) SAC (hereinafter the “Subsidiary”) was established on January 12, 2016 and commenced operations on February 8, 2017. It is a private company governed by the provisions of the Statute and the Peruvian Companies Law General. The legal address of the Subsidiary is Av. La Paz Nro. 1121, Miraflores, Lima, Peru.

MINING SENSE GOLD PERU SAC was incorporated on July 20, 2018. This company is another subsidiary of the Company governed by the provisions of the Statute and the Peruvian Companies Law General. The legal address of the Subsidiary is Av. La Paz Nro. 1121, Miraflores, Lima, Peru; however, it has not yet started operations.

CORONGO EXPLORACIONES SAC was acquired on March 3, 2020. This company is another subsidiary of the Company that is governed by the provisions of the Statute and the General Law of Public Limited Companies. The legal address of the Subsidiary is Calle Juan de Arona 670, San Isidro, Lima, Peru.

  • (b) Economic activity

The economic activity of the Company is through its subsidiary MINES & METALS TRADING (PERU) SAC, and involves all kinds of businesses in the mining sector, including the provision of related consulting services.

(c) Acquisition of Mining Unit “Recuperada”

In July 2017 the Company acquired from Compañia de Minas Buenaventura SAA (Buenaventura or the seller) the assets and liabilities of the Mining Unit Recuperada, located in the district of Corralpampa, department of Huancavelica in Peru.

(d) Going concern

The Company has incurred losses and negative operating cash flows since its inception. The Company incurred a net loss of S/22,139,142 (2019 – S/20,470,594) during the year ended December 31, 2020 and has an accumulated deficit of S/54,005,894 (December 31, 2019 – S/31,866,752). The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern in the short-term will depend upon, but not be limited to, obtaining additional financing and generating revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs. These conditions indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Management is of the opinion that it will be in a position to raise ongoing financing as needed; however, there is no certainty that these and other strategies will be sufficient to permit the Company to continue as a going concern.

MINES & METALS TRADING (PERU) PLC Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements As of December 31, 2020 and 2019 (Expressed in Peruvian Soles)

1. Identification and economic activity (continued)

  • (e) COVID-19 estimation uncertainty

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 physical distancing, have caused material disruption to business globally resulting in an economic slowdown. The duration and enduring impact of the COVID-19 outbreak is unknown at this time. 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.

These consolidated financial statements were approved and authorized for issue by the Board of Directors of the Company on June 9, 2021.

2. Accounting policies

  • (a) Statement of compliance

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), effective December 31, 2020 as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). The accounting policies have been consistently applied in the reported period.

  • (b) Basis of presentation and consolidation

The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Company and its three controlled subsidiaries as of December 31, 2020. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis except for certain financial assets measured at fair value. In addition, these consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting, except for cash flow information.

  • (c) Basis of measurement

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical costs basis and are presented in Peruvian Soles (“PEN”).

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in compliance with IFRS requires that Management make certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgment in applying the Company’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements include useful life and residual values of mining concessions and property, plant and equipment, impairment of long-lived assets, impairment of accounts receivable, valuation of provision for environmental remediation, current income tax, deferred income tax, and contingencies. Actual results may differ from these judgements, estimates, and assumptions.

Significant assumptions about the future and other sources of estimation uncertainty that management has made at the reporting date that could result in a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities, in the event that actual results differ from those assumptions. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis by the management and revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the year in which the estimates are revised and in any future years affected.

MINES & METALS TRADING (PERU) PLC Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements As of December 31, 2020 and 2019 (Expressed in Peruvian Soles)

2. Accounting policies (continued)

d) Going concern

The evaluation of the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, to raise additional financing in order to cover its operating expenses and its obligations for the upcoming year requires significant judgment based on past experience and other assumptions including the probability that future events are considered reasonable according to the circumstances.

3. Summary of significant accounting principles

The significant accounting policies set out below are in effect in the consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 have been applied consistently to all years presented in these consolidated financial statements unless otherwise indicated.

  • (a) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents reported in the cash flows statement comprise cash in local financial institutions, cash and term deposits with maturity less than three months.

(b) Financial instruments

Classification

The Company classifies its financial assets in the following measurement categories:

  • those to be measured subsequently at fair value (either through other comprehensive income (“OCI”) or through profit or loss), and

  • those to be measured at amortized cost.

The classification depends on the Company’s business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual terms of the cash flows.

For assets measured at fair value, gains and losses will either be recorded in profit or loss or OCI. For investments in equity instruments that are not held for trading, this will depend on whether the group has made an irrevocable election at the time of initial recognition to account for the equity investment at fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVOCI”).

The Company reclassifies debt instruments when and only when its business model for managing those assets changes.

Recognition and derecognition

Regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognized on trade-date, the date on which the Company commits to purchase or sell the asset. Financial assets are derecognized when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets have expired or have been transferred and the Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership.

Measurement

At initial recognition, the Company measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”), transactions costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Transaction costs of financial assets carried at FVTPL are expensed in profit or loss.

Financial assets with embedded derivatives are considered in their entirety when determining whether their cash flows are solely payment of principal and interest.

Subsequent measurement of debt instrument depends on the Company’s business model for managing the asset and the cash flow characteristics of the asset. There are three measurement categories into which the Company classifies its debt instruments:

  • Amortized cost: Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows where those cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest are measured at amortized cost. Interest income from these financial assets is included in finance income using the effective interest rate method. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition is recognized directly in profit or loss and presented in other gains/(losses) together with foreign exchange gains and losses. Impairment losses are presented as a separate line item in the statement of profit or loss.

  • FVOCI: Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows and for selling the financial assets, where the assets’ cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest, are measured at FVOCI. Movements in the carrying amount are taken through OCI, except for the recognition of impairment gains or losses, interest income and foreign exchange gains and losses which are recognized in profit or loss. When the financial asset is derecognized, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in OCI is reclassified from equity to profit or loss and recognized in other gains/(losses). Interest income from these financial assets is included in finance income using the effective interest rate method. Foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in other gains/(losses) and impairment expenses are presented as separate line item in the statement of profit or loss.

  • FVTPL: Assets that do not meet the criteria for amortized cost or FVOCI are measured at FVTPL. A gain or loss on a debt investment that is subsequently measured at FVTPL is recognized in profit or loss and presented net within other gains/(losses) in the period in which it arises.

Equity instruments

The Company subsequently measures all equity investments at fair value. Where the Company’s management has elected to present fair value gains and losses on equity investments in OCI, there is no subsequent reclassification of fair value gains and losses to profit or loss following the derecognition of the investment. Dividends from such investments continue to be recognized in profit or loss as other income when the Company’s right to receive payments is established.

Changes in the fair value of financial assets at FVTPL are recognized in other gains/(losses) in the statement of profit or loss as applicable. Impairment losses (and reversal of impairment losses) on equity investments measured at FVOCI are not reported separately from other changes in fair value.

Impairment

The Company assesses on a forward looking basis the expected credit losses associated with its debt instruments carried at amortised cost and FVOCI. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk.

  • (c) Inventories

Inventories are valued at the cost or net realizable value, whichever is less. The net realization value is the estimated sale price in the normal course of business, less the costs to put the inventories on sale condition and the marketing and distribution expenses. If the cost is greater than the net realizable value, the corresponding decrease in the result of the year is recognized in the item "cost of sales". The cost of inventories is determined using the weighted average method.

3. Summary of significant accounting principles (continued)

  • (d) Property, plant and equipment

This item is presented at acquisition cost, less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment loss, if any. The initial cost of an asset classified in this category includes the purchase price, including import duties and non-refundable purchase taxes and any costs directly attributable to the asset for working conditions and use.

Residual values, useful life and depreciation method of the assets are reviewed and adjusted, if necessary, at the date of each statement of financial position.

When the carrying amount of an asset is greater than its estimated recoverable value, the corresponding loss is recorded. The cost and accumulated depreciation of assets retired or sold are removed from the respective accounts and the resulting gain or loss will affect the results of the year in which it occurs.

Depreciation is calculated using the straight line method based on the estimated useful lives as follows:

ollows:
YEARS
Buildings and facilities 20
Machinery and equipment 7-10
Vehicles 5
Furniture and fixtures 10
Computer equipment 4

(e) Mining concessions

The mining concessions represent the ownership of the exploration and exploitation rights that the Subsidiary has over the mining properties that contain the acquired mineral reserves.

Mining concessions are presented at cost. In case the Subsidiary abandons said concessions, the associated costs are written off in the statement of income.

(f) Leases

At inception of a contract, the Company assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. The Company assesses whether the contract involves the use of an identified asset, whether the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the asset during the term of the arrangement exists, and if the Company has the right to direct the use of the asset. At inception or on reassessment of a contract that contains a lease component, the Company allocates the consideration in the contract to each lease component on the basis of their relative standalone prices.

As a lessee, the Company recognizes a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the commencement date of a lease. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which is comprised of the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any decommissioning and restoration costs, less any lease incentives received.

The right-of-use asset is subsequently depreciated using the straight line method from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the lease term, or the end of the useful life of the asset. In addition, the right-of-use asset may be reduced due to impairment losses, if any, and adjusted for certain remeasurements of the lease liability.

MINES & METALS TRADING (PERU) PLC Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements As of December 31, 2020 and 2019 (Expressed in Peruvian Soles)

3. Summary of significant accounting principles (continued)

A lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted by the interest rate implicit in the lease, or if that rate cannot be readily determined, the incremental borrowing rate. Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability are comprised of:

  • fixed payments, including in-substance fixed payments, less any lease incentives receivable;

  • variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or rate as at the commencement date;

  • amounts expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee;

  • exercise prices of purchase options if the Company is reasonably certain to exercise that option; and

  • payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the lessee exercising an option to terminate the lease.

The lease liability is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. It is remeasured when there is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in an index or rate, or if there is a change in the estimate or assessment of the expected amount payable under a residual value guarantee, purchase, extension or termination option. Variable lease payments not included in the initial measurement of the lease liability are charged directly to profit or loss.

The Company has elected not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets. The lease payments associated with these leases are charged directly to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

  • (g) Impairment of non-financial assets

At the end of each reporting period, the Company’s assets are reviewed to determine whether there is any indication that those assets may be impaired. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment, if any. The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. Fair value is determined as the amount that would be obtained from the sale of the asset in an arm’s length transaction between knowledgeable and willing parties. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. If the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount and the impairment loss is recognized in profit or loss for the period. For an asset that does not generate largely independent cash flows, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash generating unit to which the asset belongs.

Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (or cashgenerating unit) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but to an amount that does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset (or cash-generating unit) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized immediately in profit or loss.

3. Summary of significant accounting principles (continued)

  • (h) Provisions

Provisions for environmental restoration, restructuring costs and legal claims are recognized when: the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events; it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation; and the amount has been reliably estimated. Provisions are not recognized for future operating losses.

Provisions are measured at the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation using a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the obligation. The increase in the provision due to passage of time is recognized as interest expense.

(i) Revenue recognition

Revenues are recognized when all the risks and benefits inherent to ownership of the delivered good have been transferred, the economic benefits associated with the transaction are likely to flow to the Company and its Subsidiary and the amount of income can be measured reliably. The following specific criteria must be met to recognize an income:

  • Sale of zinc and lead concentrates Revenue from the sale of zinc and lead concentrates, together with the related sale cost, are recognized when the Company and its Subsidiary have delivered the concentrate in the place agreed with the client according to the contract, the client has accepted it and the collection of the accounts receivable is reasonably assured.

  • Consulting revenue Consulting revenue are recognized on an accrual basis and are recorded in the period in which the services are provided. Reasonableness of collection is considered when recording consulting revenue.

(j) Income tax

The tax expense for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognized in the income statement, except to the extent that it relates to items recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.

The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date in the countries where the Company and its subsidiaries operate and generate taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.

Deferred income tax is recognized on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. However, deferred tax liabilities are not recognized if they arise from the initial recognition of goodwill and deferred income tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realized or the deferred income tax liability is settled.

Deferred income tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized.

3. Summary of significant accounting principles (continued)

  • (k) Foreign currency translation

Functional and presentation currency

Items included in the financial statements of each of the Company’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (‘the functional currency’). The consolidated financial statements are presented in the PEN, which is also the functional currency of the subsidiaries. The functional currency of the Company is Canadian dollars.

Transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions or valuation where items are re-measured. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognized in profit and loss.

(l) Compound financial instruments

Compound financial instruments issued by the Company comprise of a convertible debenture that can be converted to share capital at the option of the holder, and the number of shares to be issued does not vary with changes in their fair value. The liability component of a compound financial instrument is recognized initially at the fair value of the similar liability that does not have an equity conversion option. The equity component is recognized initially as the difference between the fair value of the compound financial instrument as a whole and the fair value of the liability component. Any directly attributable transaction costs are allocated to the liability and equity components in proportion to their initial carrying amounts. Subsequent to initial recognition, the liability component of a compound financial instrument is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. The equity component of a compound financial instrument is not remeasured subsequent to initial recognition except on conversion or expiry.

Financial liabilities are classified as current liabilities unless the Company has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the end of the reporting period.

(m) Loss per share

The Company presents basic and diluted loss per share data for its common shares. Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing the income or loss attributable to common shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted loss per share is determined by dividing the income or loss attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and for the effects of all dilutive potential common shares.

(n) Comparative figures

Certain comparative figures have been reclassified to conform to the financial statement presentation adopted in the current year.

  • a) During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company issued S/13,274,171 in convertible debentures to Baker Steel Resources Trust Limited (“Baker Steel”), an arms-length lender. The convertible debenture bears a 10% interest rate and is convertible in whole or in part at any time up to and including the maturity date of June 30, 2022 into common shares of the Company at USD$13.226 per share.

On inception, the Company allocated the total proceeds received between liability and equity components of the convertible debenture using the residual method, based on a discount rate of 14.24%, which is the estimated cost at which the Company could borrow similar debt without a conversion feature. The liability component with a fair value of S/11,972,880 on inception is measured at amortized cost and is accrued over the expected term to maturity using the effective interest method. The equity component had a fair value of S/1,301,291 as of December 31, 2020.

  • b) In March 2020 the company receive another loan from Baker Steel of USD$1,000,000. The term of the loan is for 1 year and bears a 15% interest rate.

14. Tax status

The Company is incorporated in Isle of Man that has a standard zero rate for corporate tax. The Subsidiaries are subject to taxation in Peru. Peruvian tax authority has the power to review and, if applicable, make a new determination by the income tax and general sales tax calculated by the Subsidiary in the four years following the year of filing the tax return.

15. Financial instruments – financial risk

The commercial activities of the Company expose’s it to a variety of financial risks, which may adversely affect financial assets and liabilities of the Company and their future cash flows. The Company uses comprehensive risk management procedures to limit the risks inherent in the use of financial instruments. Risks include credit, foreign exchange, interest rate, liquidity, and market risks. The significant risks that the Company is exposed to are noted below:

MINES & METALS TRADING (PERU) PLC Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements As of December 31, 2020 and 2019 (Expressed in Peruvian Soles)

15. Financial instruments – financial risk (continued)

a) Foreign exchange risk

The Company through its Subsidiary operates in Peru, its cash is held in Peru in US Dollars and its loan payables are carried in foreign currencies. The Company’s sales are invoiced and incurred in US Dollars. The Company also has vendors which charge fees in US Dollars. The Company mitigates the risk and exposure to exchange rate risk by periodically evaluating its net foreign exchange position. A 1% fluctuation in the foreign exchange rate between PEN and US dollars and PEN and Canadian dollar will result in a significant change in foreign exchange gain/loss. The Company does not enter into derivative financial instruments to mitigate foreign exchange risk.

b) Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that future cash flows of a financial instrument fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates. The Company carries debt and loans payable which have fixed rates of interest except for the loan payable and revolving line of credit with Trafigura which bear interest at variable rates of interest.

c) Credit risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash, accounts receivable, and sales taxes receivable. The Company limits its exposure to credit loss by placing its cash with high credit quality financial institutions. Management performs ongoing credit reviews of its customers, Trafigura, and establishes conservative credit policies to mitigate any risk. Historically, the Company did not have any exposure to credit risks.

d) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on management’s ability to raise required funding through future equity issuances and through short-term borrowing. The Company manages its liquidity risk by forecasting cash flows from operations and anticipating any investing and financing activities. Management and the Board of Directors are actively involved in the review, planning and approval of significant expenditures and commitments.

e) Capital risk management

The Company manages its cash and common shares as capital. The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns to shareholders, benefits to interest groups and maintain an optimal structure that allows reducing the cost of capital. The Company and its Subsidiaries manage its capital structure and makes adjustments to face changes in the economic conditions of the market. The Company’s policy is to finance all its short and long-term projects with its own operational resources.

Management is in charge of risk management, and therefore identifies, evaluates and covers financial risks in close cooperation with the operating units.

1. Identification and economic activity (continued)

  • (e) COVID-19 estimation uncertainty

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 physical distancing, have caused material disruption to business globally resulting in an economic slowdown. The duration and enduring impact of the COVID-19 outbreak is unknown at this time. 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.

(f) Business combination

On February 21, 2021, the Company and Silver X Mining Corp. have signed a business combination agreement. Pursuant to the business combination agreement, Silver X will acquire 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company.

The transaction, if completed, is anticipated to be a fundamental acquisition for Silver X, as defined under the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange. The transaction is an arm's-length transaction and Silver X anticipates that shareholder approval from Silver X's shareholders will not be required. Pursuant to exchange policy, Silver X's common shares have been halted and will remain halted until all required documentation has been filed and accepted by the exchange and permission to resume trading has been granted.

Pursuant to the terms of the business combination agreement, Silver X will acquire all of the Company’s common shares as part of a merger of equals. Each MMTP share will be exchanged for 28.828 common shares of Silver X, resulting in an aggregate of approximately 42,969,000 Silver X shares to be issued to the MMTP shareholders pursuant to the transaction.

The transactions contemplated by the business combination agreement are subject to, among other things: (i) the completion of a financing for minimum gross proceeds of $14-million, as described as follows; (ii) the approval of MMTP shareholders; (iii) the receipt of all necessary consents, approvals, authorizations (including exchange approval) for the transaction; (iv) certain changes to the board of directors and management of Silver X, as described as follows; and (v) other conditions that are customary for a transaction of this type.

A termination fee of $2.5-million is payable by Silver X or the Company, as applicable, if the business combination agreement terminates under certain circumstances.

The company also anticipates paying a finder's fee consisting of 1.25 million shares in connection with the transaction to an arm's-length third party.

2. Accounting policies

  • (a) Statement of compliance

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), effective March 31, 2021 as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). The accounting policies have been consistently applied in the reported period.

MINES & METALS TRADING (PERU) PLC Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 (Expressed in Peruvian Soles)

2. Accounting policies (continued)

  • (b) Basis of presentation and consolidation

The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Company and its four controlled subsidiaries as of March 31, 2021. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis except for certain financial assets measured at fair value. In addition, these consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting, except for cash flow information.

(c) Basis of measurement

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical costs basis and are presented in Peruvian Soles (“PEN”).

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in compliance with IFRS requires that Management make certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgment in applying the Company’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements include useful life and residual values of mining concessions and property, plant and equipment, impairment of long-lived assets, impairment of accounts receivable, valuation of provision for environmental remediation, current income tax, deferred income tax, and contingencies. Actual results may differ from these judgements, estimates, and assumptions.

Significant assumptions about the future and other sources of estimation uncertainty that management has made at the reporting date that could result in a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities, in the event that actual results differ from those assumptions. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis by the management and revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the year in which the estimates are revised and in any future years affected.

d) Going concern

The evaluation of the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, to raise additional financing in order to cover its operating expenses and its obligations for the upcoming year requires significant judgment based on past experience and other assumptions including the probability that future events are considered reasonable according to the circumstances.

3. Summary of significant accounting principles

The significant accounting policies set out below are in effect in the consolidated financial statements for three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 have been applied consistently to all years presented in these consolidated financial statements unless otherwise indicated.

(a) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents reported in the cash flows statement comprise cash in local financial institutions, cash and term deposits with maturity less than three months.

3. Summary of significant accounting principles (continued)

  • (b) Financial instruments

Classification

The Company classifies its financial assets in the following measurement categories:

  • those to be measured subsequently at fair value (either through other comprehensive income (“OCI”) or through profit or loss), and

  • those to be measured at amortized cost.

The classification depends on the Company’s business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual terms of the cash flows.

For assets measured at fair value, gains and losses will either be recorded in profit or loss or OCI. For investments in equity instruments that are not held for trading, this will depend on whether the group has made an irrevocable election at the time of initial recognition to account for the equity investment at fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVOCI”).

The Company reclassifies debt instruments when and only when its business model for managing those assets changes.

Recognition and derecognition

Regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognized on trade-date, the date on which the Company commits to purchase or sell the asset. Financial assets are derecognized when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets have expired or have been transferred and the Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership.

Measurement

At initial recognition, the Company measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”), transactions costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Transaction costs of financial assets carried at FVTPL are expensed in profit or loss.

Financial assets with embedded derivatives are considered in their entirety when determining whether their cash flows are solely payment of principal and interest.

Debt instruments

Subsequent measurement of debt instrument depends on the Company’s business model for managing the asset and the cash flow characteristics of the asset. There are three measurement categories into which the Company classifies its debt instruments:

  • Amortized cost: Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows where those cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest are measured at amortized cost. Interest income from these financial assets is included in finance income using the effective interest rate method. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition is recognized directly in profit or loss and presented in other gains/(losses) together with foreign exchange gains and losses. Impairment losses are presented as a separate line item in the statement of profit or loss.

Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 (Expressed in Peruvian Soles)

MINES & METALS TRADING (PERU) PLC

3. Summary of significant accounting principles (continued)

  • FVOCI: Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows and for selling the financial assets, where the assets’ cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest, are measured at FVOCI. Movements in the carrying amount are taken through OCI, except for the recognition of impairment gains or losses, interest income and foreign exchange gains and losses which are recognized in profit or loss. When the financial asset is derecognized, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in OCI is reclassified from equity to profit or loss and recognized in other gains/(losses). Interest income from these financial assets is included in finance income using the effective interest rate method. Foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in other gains/(losses) and impairment expenses are presented as separate line item in the statement of profit or loss.

  • FVTPL: Assets that do not meet the criteria for amortized cost or FVOCI are measured at FVTPL. A gain or loss on a debt investment that is subsequently measured at FVTPL is recognized in profit or loss and presented net within other gains/(losses) in the period in which it arises.

Equity instruments

The Company subsequently measures all equity investments at fair value. Where the Company’s management has elected to present fair value gains and losses on equity investments in OCI, there is no subsequent reclassification of fair value gains and losses to profit or loss following the derecognition of the investment. Dividends from such investments continue to be recognized in profit or loss as other income when the Company’s right to receive payments is established.

Changes in the fair value of financial assets at FVTPL are recognized in other gains/(losses) in the statement of profit or loss as applicable. Impairment losses (and reversal of impairment losses) on equity investments measured at FVOCI are not reported separately from other changes in fair value.

Impairment

The Company assesses on a forward looking basis the expected credit losses associated with its debt instruments carried at amortised cost and FVOCI. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk.

  • (c) Inventories

Inventories are valued at the cost or net realizable value, whichever is less. The net realization value is the estimated sale price in the normal course of business, less the costs to put the inventories on sale condition and the marketing and distribution expenses. If the cost is greater than the net realizable value, the corresponding decrease in the result of the year is recognized in the item "cost of sales". The cost of inventories is determined using the weighted average method.

  • (d) Property, plant and equipment

This item is presented at acquisition cost, less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment loss, if any. The initial cost of an asset classified in this category includes the purchase price, including import duties and non-refundable purchase taxes and any costs directly attributable to the asset for working conditions and use.

Residual values, useful life and depreciation method of the assets are reviewed and adjusted, if necessary, at the date of each statement of financial position.

MINES & METALS TRADING (PERU) PLC Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 (Expressed in Peruvian Soles)

3. Summary of significant accounting principles (continued)

When the carrying amount of an asset is greater than its estimated recoverable value, the corresponding loss is recorded. The cost and accumulated depreciation of assets retired or sold are removed from the respective accounts and the resulting gain or loss will affect the results of the year in which it occurs.

Depreciation is calculated using the straight line method based on the estimated useful lives as follows:


ollows:
YEARS
Buildings and facilities 20
Machinery and equipment 7-10
Vehicles 5
Furniture and fixtures 10
Computer equipment 4

(e) Mining concessions

The mining concessions represent the ownership of the exploration and exploitation rights that the Subsidiary has over the mining properties that contain the acquired mineral reserves.

Mining concessions are presented at cost. In case the Subsidiary abandons said concessions, the associated costs are written off in the statement of income.

(f) Leases

At inception of a contract, the Company assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. The Company assesses whether the contract involves the use of an identified asset, whether the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the asset during the term of the arrangement exists, and if the Company has the right to direct the use of the asset. At inception or on reassessment of a contract that contains a lease component, the Company allocates the consideration in the contract to each lease component on the basis of their relative standalone prices.

As a lessee, the Company recognizes a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the commencement date of a lease. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which is comprised of the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any decommissioning and restoration costs, less any lease incentives received.

The right-of-use asset is subsequently depreciated using the straight line method from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the lease term, or the end of the useful life of the asset. In addition, the right-of-use asset may be reduced due to impairment losses, if any, and adjusted for certain remeasurements of the lease liability.

MINES & METALS TRADING (PERU) PLC Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 (Expressed in Peruvian Soles)

3. Summary of significant accounting principles (continued)

A lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted by the interest rate implicit in the lease, or if that rate cannot be readily determined, the incremental borrowing rate. Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability are comprised of:

  • i. fixed payments, including in-substance fixed payments, less any lease incentives receivable;

  • ii. variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or rate as at the commencement date;

  • iii. amounts expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee;

  • iv. exercise prices of purchase options if the Company is reasonably certain to exercise that option; and

  • v. payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the lessee exercising an option to terminate the lease.

The lease liability is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. It is remeasured when there is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in an index or rate, or if there is a change in the estimate or assessment of the expected amount payable under a residual value guarantee, purchase, extension or termination option. Variable lease payments not included in the initial measurement of the lease liability are charged directly to profit or loss.

The Company has elected not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets. The lease payments associated with these leases are charged directly to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

  • (g) Impairment of non-financial assets

At the end of each reporting period, the Company’s assets are reviewed to determine whether there is any indication that those assets may be impaired. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment, if any. The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. Fair value is determined as the amount that would be obtained from the sale of the asset in an arm’s length transaction between knowledgeable and willing parties. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. If the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount and the impairment loss is recognized in profit or loss for the period. For an asset that does not generate largely independent cash flows, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash generating unit to which the asset belongs.

Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (or cashgenerating unit) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but to an amount that does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset (or cash-generating unit) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized immediately in profit or loss.

3. Summary of significant accounting principles (continued)

(h) Provisions

Provisions for environmental restoration, restructuring costs and legal claims are recognized when: the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events; it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation; and the amount has been reliably estimated. Provisions are not recognized for future operating losses.

Provisions are measured at the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation using a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the obligation. The increase in the provision due to passage of time is recognized as interest expense.

(i) Revenue recognition

Revenues are recognized when all the risks and benefits inherent to ownership of the delivered good have been transferred, the economic benefits associated with the transaction are likely to flow to the Company and its Subsidiary and the amount of income can be measured reliably. The following specific criteria must be met to recognize an income:

  • vi. Sale of zinc and lead concentrates

  • Revenue from the sale of zinc and lead concentrates, together with the related sale cost, are recognized when the Company and its Subsidiary have delivered the concentrate in the place agreed with the client according to the contract, the client has accepted it and the collection of the accounts receivable is reasonably assured.

  • vii. Consulting revenue Consulting revenue are recognized on an accrual basis and are recorded in the period in which the services are provided. Reasonableness of collection is considered when recording consulting revenue.

(j) Income tax

The tax expense for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognized in the income statement, except to the extent that it relates to items recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.

The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date in the countries where the Company and its subsidiaries operate and generate taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.

Deferred income tax is recognized on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. However, deferred tax liabilities are not recognized if they arise from the initial recognition of goodwill and deferred income tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realized or the deferred income tax liability is settled.

Deferred income tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized.

3. Summary of significant accounting principles (continued)

(k) Foreign currency translation

Functional and presentation currency

Items included in the financial statements of each of the Company’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (‘the functional currency’). The consolidated financial statements are presented in the PEN, which is also the functional currency of the subsidiaries. The functional currency of the Company is Canadian dollars.

Transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions or valuation where items are re-measured. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognized in profit and loss.

(l) Compound financial instruments

Compound financial instruments issued by the Company comprise of a convertible debenture that can be converted to share capital at the option of the holder, and the number of shares to be issued does not vary with changes in their fair value. The liability component of a compound financial instrument is recognized initially at the fair value of the similar liability that does not have an equity conversion option. The equity component is recognized initially as the difference between the fair value of the compound financial instrument as a whole and the fair value of the liability component. Any directly attributable transaction costs are allocated to the liability and equity components in proportion to their initial carrying amounts. Subsequent to initial recognition, the liability component of a compound financial instrument is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. The equity component of a compound financial instrument is not remeasured subsequent to initial recognition except on conversion or expiry.

Financial liabilities are classified as current liabilities unless the Company has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the end of the reporting period.

(m) Loss per share

The Company presents basic and diluted loss per share data for its common shares. Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing the income or loss attributable to common shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted loss per share is determined by dividing the income or loss attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and for the effects of all dilutive potential common shares.

(n) Comparative figures

Certain comparative figures have been reclassified to conform to the financial statement presentation adopted in the current year.

14. Tax status

The Company is incorporated in Isle of Man that has a standard zero rate for corporate tax. The Subsidiaries are subject to taxation in Peru. Peruvian tax authority has the power to review and, if applicable, make a new determination by the income tax and general sales tax calculated by the Subsidiary in the four years following the year of filing the tax return.

15. Financial instruments – financial risk

The commercial activities of the Company expose’s it to a variety of financial risks, which may adversely affect financial assets and liabilities of the Company and their future cash flows. The Company uses comprehensive risk management procedures to limit the risks inherent in the use of financial instruments. Risks include credit, foreign exchange, interest rate, liquidity, and market risks. The significant risks that the Company is exposed to are noted below:

MINES & METALS TRADING (PERU) PLC Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 (Expressed in Peruvian Soles)

15. Financial instruments – financial risk (continued)

a) Foreign exchange risk

The Company through its Subsidiary operates in Peru, its cash is held in Peru in US Dollars and its loan payables are carried in foreign currencies. The Company’s sales are invoiced and incurred in US Dollars. The Company also has vendors which charge fees in US Dollars. The Company mitigates the risk and exposure to exchange rate risk by periodically evaluating its net foreign exchange position. A 1% fluctuation in the foreign exchange rate between PEN and US dollars and PEN and Canadian dollar will result in a significant change in foreign exchange gain/loss. The Company does not enter into derivative financial instruments to mitigate foreign exchange risk.

b) Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that future cash flows of a financial instrument fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates. The Company carries debt and loans payable which have fixed rates of interest except for the loan payable and revolving line of credit with Trafigura which bear interest at variable rates of interest.

c) Credit risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash, accounts receivable, and sales taxes receivable. The Company limits its exposure to credit loss by placing its cash with high credit quality financial institutions. Management performs ongoing credit reviews of its customers, Trafigura, and establishes conservative credit policies to mitigate any risk. Historically, the Company did not have any exposure to credit risks.

d) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on management’s ability to raise required funding through future equity issuances and through short-term borrowing. The Company manages its liquidity risk by forecasting cash flows from operations and anticipating any investing and financing activities. Management and the Board of Directors are actively involved in the review, planning and approval of significant expenditures and commitments.

e) Capital risk management

The Company manages its cash and common shares as capital. The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns to shareholders, benefits to interest groups and maintain an optimal structure that allows reducing the cost of capital. The Company and its Subsidiaries manage its capital structure and makes adjustments to face changes in the economic conditions of the market. The Company’s policy is to finance all its short and long-term projects with its own operational resources.

Management is in charge of risk management, and therefore identifies, evaluates and covers financial risks in close cooperation with the operating units.

16. Commitments and contingent liabilities

Commitments

The Company entered into various operating lease agreements with an annual cost of S/273,665 (USD$ 75,575) for the lease of administrative offices located at Av. La Paz, 1121 Miraflores, Lima, Peru ending in 2023 (terminated subsequent to December 31, 2020) and apartments for the directors of the Company.

Contingent liabilities

In the ordinary course of business, the Company may be contingently liable for litigation and claims with customers, suppliers and former employees. On an ongoing basis, the Company assess the likelihood of any adverse judgments or outcomes to these matters as well as potential ranges of probable costs and losses and a determination of the provision required, if any, for these contingencies is made after analysis of each individual issue. The Company has provided for no amount in respect of contingent liabilities in these financial statements.

As of March 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company was involved in labor claims with past employees. The opinion of management of the Company, and of its legal counsel, is that these legal actions will not result in significant additional liabilities affecting the operations of the Company or its Subsidiaries.

17. Economic dependence

During 2021, sales to the Subsidiary main customer, Trafigura, represented 100 percent (2020 – 100 percent) of total sales.

18. Subsequent events

  • a) On May 19, 2021, Silver X agreed to advance an US$120,000 bridge loan to the Company. The loan (“Loan”) will be secured through a pledge of all the shares of a wholly-owned Company´s subsidiary.

  • b) On June 23, 2021, the Company completed the sale of all the issued ordinary shares of MMTP in exchange for common shares of Silver X at an exchange ratio of 28.828 Silver X shares for each MMTP Share, resulting in an aggregate of 42,969,046 Silver X shares being issued to MMTP shareholders (the “Transaction”).
