SOLIS MINERALS LTD. (FORMERLY WESTMINSTER RESOURCES LTD.)

(An Exploration Stage Company)

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the Years Ended May 31, 2021 and 2020

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

To the Shareholders of Solis Minerals Ltd. (formerly Westminster Resources Ltd.)

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Solis Minerals Ltd. (formerly Westminster Resources Ltd.) (the “Company”), which comprise the consolidated statements of financial position as at May 31, 2021 and 2020, and the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss, changes in shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

In our opinion, these consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at May 31, 2021 and 2020, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”).

Basis for Opinion

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

Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern

We draw attention to Note 1 of the consolidated financial statements, which indicates that the Company incurred a loss of $184,973 during the year ended May 31, 2021 and, as of that date, the Company’s current assets exceeded its current liabilities by $2,106,867. As stated in Note 1, these events and conditions indicate 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. The other information obtained at the date of this auditor's report includes Management’s Discussion and Analysis.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

SOLIS MINERALS LTD. (formerly WESTMINSTER RESOURCES LTD.) (An Exploration Stage Company) Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the year ended May 31, 2021 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

1. Nature of Operations and Going Concern

Solis Minerals Ltd. (formerly Westminster Resources Ltd.) (an Exploration Stage Company) was incorporated under the Business Corporations Act of British Columbia, Canada on December 1, 2005 and maintains its corporate head office at Suite 1100 - 595 Howe Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6C 2T5. The Company’s common shares are listed on the TSX Venture Exchange (TSX.V: SLMN) in Canada. Solis Minerals Ltd. and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the “Company” or “Solis”) are principally engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties as described herein.

Subsequent to the year ended May 31, 2021, the Company changed its name to Solis Minerals Ltd.

Effective August 29, 2019, the Company consolidated its common shares on a 5:1 basis. These consolidated financial statements retroactively reflect the share consolidation.

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which presumes the realization of assets and discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. However, there are factors that management has identified that may cast significant doubt on the entities ability to continue as a going concern.

For the year ended May 31, 2021, the Company reported a loss of $184,973 (2020 – $491,615) and an accumulated deficit of $23,148,945 (2020 – $22,963,972). As at May 31, 2021, the Company had working capital of $2,106,867 (2020 – negative working capital of $1,537,020). The Company has no source of operating cash flow and relies on issuances of equity to finance operations, including exploration of its exploration and evaluation (“E&E”) assets.

The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern and meet its commitments as they become due, including completion of the acquisition and exploration of its E&E assets, is dependent on the Company’s ability to obtain the necessary financing. Management is planning to raise additional capital to finance operations and expected growth, if necessary, or alternatively to dispose of its interests in certain properties. The outcome of these matters cannot be predicted at this time. If the Company is unable to obtain additional financing, the Company may be unable to continue as a going concern.

The business of mining exploration involves a high degree of risk and there is no assurance that current exploration projects will result in future profitable mining operations. The Company has significant cash requirements to meet its administrative overhead, pay its liabilities and maintain its E&E assets. The recoverability of amounts shown for E&E assets is dependent on several factors. These include the discovery of economically recoverable reserves, the ability of the Company to obtain the necessary financing to complete the development of these properties and future profitable production or proceeds from disposition of E&E assets.

In March 2020, there was a global pandemic outbreak of COVID-19. The actual and threatened spread of the virus globally has had a material adverse effect on the global economy and specifically, the regional economies in which the Company operates. The pandemic could result in delays in the course of business, including potential delays to its business plans and activities, and continue to have a negative impact on the stock market, including trading prices of the Company’s shares and its ability to raise new capital. These material uncertainties may cast significant doubt upon the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and realize its assets and settle its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business.

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) applicable to a going concern. Accordingly, they do not give effect to adjustments that may be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern, and therefore, be required to realize its assets and liquidate its liabilities and commitments in other than the normal course of business.

SOLIS MINERALS LTD. (formerly WESTMINSTER RESOURCES LTD.) (An Exploration Stage Company) Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the year ended May 31, 2021 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

2. Basis of Presentation and Statement of Compliance

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”).

These consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue by the Company’s Board of Directors on September 22, 2021.

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

The consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, which is also the functional currency of the Company, Minera Westminster, Westminster Chile SpA and Servicios Westminster. The functional currency of Westminster Peru is the US Dollar.

The preparation of financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgement in applying the Company’s accounting policies.

These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned integrated subsidiaries, Minera Westminster, S.A. de C.V. (“Minera Westminster”), Servicios Westminster, S.A. de C.V. (“Servicios Westminster”), Westminster Peru SAC and Westminster Chile SpA (incorporated during fiscal 2021). All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

Subsidiaries are all entities over which the Company has control. The Company controls an entity when the Company is exposed to, or had rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity.

3. Significant Accounting Policies, New Standards and Interpretations

a) Sources of Estimation Uncertainty

Significant assumptions about the future and the other sources of estimation uncertainty that management has made at the statement of financial position date, that could result in a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities, in the event that actual results differ from the assumptions made, relate to, but are not limited to, the following:

(i) Realization of mineral property interests

The Company assesses its E&E assets for possible impairment if there are events or changes in circumstances that indicate that carrying values of assets may not be recoverable, at each reporting period. The assessment of any impairment of E&E asset is dependent upon estimates of recoverable amounts that take into account factors such as reserves, economic and market conditions, timing of cash flows and useful lives of assets and their related salvage values.

3. Significant Accounting Policies, New Standards and Interpretations (continued)

a) Sources of Estimation Uncertainty (continued)

(ii) Site restoration obligations

Provisions are recorded when a present legal or constructive obligation exists as a result of past events where it is possible that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate of the amount of obligation can be made.

Restoration liabilities include an estimate of the future cost associated with the reclamation of the property, discounted to its present value, and capitalized as part of the cost of exploration assets. The estimated costs are based on the present value of the expenditure expected to be incurred. Changes in the discount rate, estimated timing of reclamation costs, or cost estimates are dealt with prospectively by recording a change in estimate, and corresponding adjustment to the exploration assets. The accretion on the reclamation provision is included in the reclamation liability.

As at May 31, 2021, the Company is not aware of any existing environmental obligations related to any of its current or former exploration properties that may result in a liability to the Company.

(iii) Valuation of share-based payments

The Company uses the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model for valuation of share-based payments. Option pricing models require the input of subjective assumptions including expected price volatility, interest rate and forfeiture rate. Changes in the input assumptions could materially affect the fair value estimate and the Company’s earnings and equity reserves, and therefore the existing models do not necessarily provide an accurate single measure of the actual fair value of the Company’s stock options and warrants.

(iv) Income taxes

In assessing the probability of realizing income tax assets, management makes estimates related to expectations of future taxable income, applicable tax opportunities, expected timing of reversals of existing temporary differences and likelihood that tax positions taken will be sustained upon examination by applicable tax authorities. In making its assessments, management gives additional weight to positive and negative evidence that can be objectively verified. Changes in economic conditions, metal prices and other factors could result in revisions to the estimates of the benefits to be realized or the timing of utilizing losses.

b) Critical Accounting Judgments

Significant judgments about the future and other sources of judgment uncertainty that management has made at the statements of financial position date, that could result in a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities, in the event that actual results differ from judgments made, relate to, but are not limited to, the following:

(i) Impairment assessment

The Company assesses its exploration and evaluation assets for possible impairment if there are events or changes in circumstances that indicate that carrying values of the assets may not be recoverable, at each reporting period. The assessment of any impairment of equipment and exploration and evaluation assets is dependent upon estimates of recoverable amounts that take into account factors such as reserves, economic and market conditions, timing of cash flows, and the useful lives of assets and their related salvage values.

3. Significant Accounting Policies, New Standards and Interpretations (continued)

b) Critical Accounting Judgments (continued)

(ii) Recoverability of amounts receivable

The balance in amounts receivable includes GST and amounts due from a related party for rent and other shared expenses. At each financial position reporting date, the carrying amounts of the Company’s amounts receivable are reviewed to determine whether there is any indication that those assets are impaired. The Company uses judgment in determining whether there are facts and circumstances suggesting that the carrying amounts of its amounts receivable may exceed the recoverable amount. The Company determined that the amounts are collectible, taking into account factors such as economic and market conditions.

(iii) Assessment of going concern

The assessment of the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and to raise sufficient funds to pay for its ongoing operating expenditures, meet its liabilities for the ensuing year, and to fund planned and contractual exploration programs, involves significant judgment based on historical experience and other factors, including expectation of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

(iv) Assessment of functional currency

The Company uses judgment in determining its functional currency. International Accounting Standards (“IAS”) 21 The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates defines the functional currency as the currency of the primary economic environment in which an entity operates. IAS 21 requires the determination of functional currency to be performed on an entity by entity basis, based on various primary and secondary factors. In identifying the functional currency of the parent and of its subsidiaries, management considered the currency that mainly influences the cost of undertaking the business activities in each jurisdiction in which the Company operates.

c) Financial Instruments

(i) Classification

The Company classifies its financial instruments in the following categories: at fair value through profit and loss (“FVTPL”), at fair value through other comprehensive income (loss) (“FVTOCI”) or at amortized cost. The Company determines the classification of financial assets at initial recognition. The classification of debt instruments is driven by the Company’s business model for managing the financial assets and their contractual cash flow characteristics. Equity instruments that are held for trading are classified as FVTPL. For other equity instruments, on the day of acquisition the Company can make an irrevocable election (on an instrument-by-instrument basis) to designate them as at FVTOCI. Financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost, unless they are required to be measured at FVTPL (such as instruments held for trading or derivatives) or if the Company has opted to measure them at FVTPL.

The following table shows the classification under IFRS 9:

Financial assets/liabilities Classification
Cash FVTPL
Receivables Amortized cost
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities Amortized cost
Short-term borrowing Amortized cost

3. Significant Accounting Policies, New Standards and Interpretations (continued)

c) Financial Instruments (continued)

(ii) Measurement

Financial assets and liabilities at amortized cost

Financial assets and liabilities at amortized cost are initially recognized at fair value plus or minus transaction costs, respectively, and subsequently carried at amortized cost less any impairment.

Financial assets and liabilities at FVTPL

Financial assets and liabilities carried at FVTPL are initially recorded at fair value and transaction costs are expensed in the statements of loss and comprehensive loss. Realized and unrealized gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of the financial assets and liabilities held at FVTPL are included in the statements of loss and comprehensive loss in the period in which they arise.

Debt investments at FVTOCI

These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Interest income calculated using the effective interest method, foreign exchange gains and losses and impairment are recognised in profit or loss. Other net gains and losses are recognised in OCI. On derecognition, gains and losses accumulated in OCI are reclassified to profit or loss.

Equity investments at FVTOCI

These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Dividends are recognised as income in profit or loss unless the dividend clearly represents a recovery of part of the cost of the investment. Other net gains and losses are recognised in OCI and are never reclassified to profit or loss.

(iii) Impairment of financial assets at amortized cost

The Company recognizes a loss allowance for expected credit losses on financial assets that are measured at amortized cost. At each reporting date, the Company measures the loss allowance for the financial asset at an amount equal to the lifetime expected credit losses if the credit risk on the financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition. If at the reporting date, the financial asset has not increased significantly since initial recognition, the Company measures the loss allowance for the financial asset at an amount equal to the twelve month expected credit losses. The Company shall recognize in the statements of loss and comprehensive loss, as an impairment gain or loss, the amount of expected credit losses (or reversal) that is required to adjust the loss allowance at the reporting date to the amount that is required to be recognized.

(iv) Derecognition

Financial assets

The Company derecognizes financial assets only when the contractual rights to cash flows from the financial assets expire, or when it transfers the financial assets and substantially all of the associated risks and rewards of ownership to another entity.

Financial liabilities

The Company derecognizes a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged or cancelled, or expire. The Company also derecognizes a financial liability when the terms of the liability are modified such that the terms and / or cash flows of the modified instrument are substantially different, in which case a new financial liability based on the modified terms is recognized at fair value.

Gains and losses on derecognition are generally recognized in profit or loss.

3. Significant Accounting Policies, New Standards and Interpretations (continued)

c) Financial Instruments (continued)

Fair value hierarchy

The Company categorizes financial instruments measured at fair value at one of three levels according to the reliability of the inputs used to estimate fair values. The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities in Level 1 are determined by reference to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. Financial assets and financial liabilities in Level 2 are valued using inputs other than quoted prices for which all significant inputs are based on observable market data. Level 3 valuations are based on inputs that are not based on observable market data.

The Company’s measurement of fair value of financial instruments as at May 31, 2021 in accordance with the fair value hierarchy is as follows:

Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3
Assets
Cash $2,548,807 $ 2,548,807$- $ -

The Company’s measurement of fair value of financial instruments as at May 31, 2020 in accordance with the fair value hierarchy is as follows:

d) Exploration and Evaluation Assets

Once the legal right to explore a property has been acquired, costs directly related to E&E expenditures are recognized and capitalized, in addition to the acquisition costs. These direct expenditures include such costs as materials used, surveying costs, drilling costs and payments made to contractors during the exploration phase. Costs not directly attributable to E&E activities, including general and administrative overhead costs, are expensed in the period in which they occur.

From time to time, the Company may acquire or dispose of properties pursuant to the terms of option agreements. Due to the fact that options are exercisable entirely at the discretion of the optionee, the amounts payable or receivable are not recorded. Option payments are recorded as E&E assets or recoveries when the payments are made or received.

When a project is deemed to no longer have commercially viable prospects to the Company, E&E expenditures in respect of that project are deemed to be impaired. As a result, those E&E expenditures, in excess of estimated recoveries, are written off to profit or loss. The Company assesses E&E assets for impairment when facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount of an asset may exceed its recoverable amount.

e) Equipment

Equipment is recorded at cost, less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses. These assets are amortized using the following annual rates:

Office furniture and equipment 30% declining-balance Computer equipment 45% declining-balance Field equipment 15% declining-balance

3. Significant Accounting Policies, New Standards and Interpretations (continued)

f) Impairment of Non-Financial Assets

At the end of each reporting period the carrying amounts of the assets are reviewed to determine whether there is any indication that those assets are impaired. Impairment is recognized when the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the greater of the asset’s 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. The impairment loss is recognized in profit or loss for the period.

Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but to an amount that does not exceed the carrying amount had no impairment loss been recognized. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized in profit or loss.

g) Reclamation Obligations

The Company recognizes the fair value of a legal or constructive liability for a reclamation obligation in the period in which it is incurred and when a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. The carrying amount of the related long-lived asset is increased by the same amount as the liability. Changes in the liability for a reclamation obligation due to the passage of time will be measured by applying an interest method of allocation. The amount will be recognized as an increase in the liability and a financing expense in the statement of comprehensive income/loss. Changes resulting from revisions to the timing or the amount of the original estimate of undiscounted cash flows are recognized as an increase or a decrease to the carrying amount of the liability and the related long-lived asset.

h) Share Capital

Financial instruments issued by the Company are classified as equity only to the extent that they do not meet the definition of a financial liability or financial asset. The Company’s common shares, share warrants and options are classified as equity instruments. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are recognized as a deduction from equity.

i) Valuation of Equity Units Issued in Private Placements

Proceeds received on the issuance of units, consisting of common shares and warrants, are first allocated to the fair value of the common shares with any residual value then allocated to warrants. The fair value of the common shares is determined by the closing quoted bid price on the issue date. The balance, if any, is allocated to the attached warrants and recorded in reserves.

j) Share-based Payments

Where equity-settled share options are awarded to employees, the fair value of the options at the date of grant is recognized in profit or loss over the vesting period. Performance vesting conditions are taken into account by adjusting the number of equity instruments expected to vest at each reporting date so that, ultimately, the cumulative amount recognized over the vesting period is based on the number of options that eventually vest. Non-vesting conditions and market vesting conditions are factored into the fair value of the options granted. As long as all other vesting conditions are satisfied, a charge is made irrespective of whether these vesting conditions are satisfied. The cumulative expense is not adjusted for failure to achieve a market vesting condition or where a non-vesting condition is not satisfied.

3. Significant Accounting Policies, New Standards and Interpretations (continued)

j) Share-based Payments (continued)

Where the terms and conditions of options are modified before they vest, the increase in the fair value of the options, measured immediately before and after the modification, is also charged to the profit or loss over the remaining vesting period.

Where equity instruments are granted to non-employees, they are recorded at the fair value of the goods or services received in profit or loss, unless they are related to the issuance of shares. Amounts related to the issuance of shares are recorded as a reduction of share capital. When the value of goods or services received in exchange for the share-based payment cannot be reliably estimated, the fair value is measured by use of a valuation model.

The expected life used in the model is adjusted, based on management’s best estimate, for the effects of nontransferability, exercise restrictions and behavioural considerations.

All equity-settled share-based payments are reflected in share-based reserve, until exercised. Upon exercise, shares are issued from treasury and the amount reflected in reserves is credited to share capital, adjusted for any consideration paid. Where a grant of options is cancelled or settled during the vesting period, excluding forfeitures when vesting conditions are not satisfied, the Company immediately accounts for the cancellation as an acceleration of vesting and recognizes the amount that otherwise would have been recognized for services received over the remainder of the vesting period. Any payment made to the employee on the cancellation is accounted for as the repurchase of an equity interest, except to the extent the payment exceeds the fair value of the equity instrument granted, measured at the repurchase date. Any such excess is recognized as an expense.

k) Loss per Share

Basic loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss for the year by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted per share amounts reflect the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common shares were exercised or converted to common shares. The treasury stock method is used to determine the dilutive effect of stock options and other dilutive instruments. Under the treasury stock method, the weighted average number of common shares outstanding used in the calculation of diluted loss per share assumes that the deemed proceeds received from the exercise of stock options, share purchase warrants and their equivalents would be used to repurchase common shares of the Company at the average market price during the period.

l) Income Taxes

The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities, and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted or substantively enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in profit or loss in the period that includes the enactment date. Deferred tax assets also result from unused loss carry-forwards, resource related tax pools and other deductions. A deferred tax asset is recognized for unused tax losses, tax credits and deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be utilized. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realized.

m) Foreign Currency Translation

Transactions in currencies other than the functional currency are recorded at the rates of exchange prevailing on the date of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into Canadian dollars at the rate of exchange prevailing at the statement of financial position date. Non-monetary items are translated at the rate of exchange in effect when the amounts were acquired or obligations incurred. Non-monetary items measured at fair value are reported at the exchange rates in effect at the time of the transaction.

Exchange differences arising from the translations are recorded as a gain or loss on foreign currency translation in profit or loss.

n) Provisions

Provisions are recorded when a present legal or constructive obligation exists as a result of past events where it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation can be made.

The amount recognized as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the statement of financial position date, taking into account the risk and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. Where a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows.

o) Leases

The Company has applied IFRS 16, Leases since January 1, 2019. The Company assesses whether a contract is or contains a lease at inception of a contract. The Company recognize a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability with respect to all lease agreements in which it is the lessee, except for shortterm leases (defined as leases with a lease term of 12 months or less) and leases of low value assets. For these leases, the Company recognizes the lease payments as an operating expense on a straight-line basis over the term unless another systematic basis is more representative of the usage of the economic benefits from the leased asset.

The lease liability is initially measured at a present value of the future lease payments at the commencement date, discounted by using the rate implicit in the lease. If this rate cannot be readily determined, the Company uses it’s incremental borrowing rate. The lease liability is subsequently measured by increasing the carrying amount to reflect interest on the lease liability (using the effective interest method) and by reducing the carrying amount to reflect any lease payments made.

The right-of-use assets comprise the initial measurement of the corresponding lease liability, payments made on or before the lease commencement and any direct costs. They are subsequently measured at cost less amortization and any impairment losses. Right-of-use assets are amortized over the shorter period of the lease term and useful life of the underlying asset.

The weighted average incremental borrowing rate applied to the lease liabilities on June 1, 2019 was 10%.

10. Management of Capital

The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern in order to pursue the sourcing and exploration of its resource property. The Company does not have any externally imposed capital requirements to which it is subject.

The Company considers the aggregate of its share capital, reserves and deficit as capital. The Company manages the capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may attempt to issue new shares or dispose of assets or adjust the amount of cash. The strategy is unchanged from prior year.

11. Financial Instruments and Financial Risk

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and short-term borrowing. The fair values of these financial instruments approximate their carrying values.

An entity classifies fair value measurements using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurement. The fair value hierarchy has the following levels:

Level 1 - quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2 - inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); and

Level 3 - inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company’s financial assets include cash and are classified as Level 1. The carrying value of the remaining financial instruments approximates their fair values due to the relatively short periods of maturity of these instruments.

Financial risk management objectives and policies

The risks associated with the Company’s financial instruments and the policies on how to mitigate these risks are set out below.

Management manages and monitors these exposures to ensure appropriate measures are implemented on a timely and effective manner.

Currency risk

The Company’s expenses are denominated in Canadian dollars. The Company’s corporate office is based in Canada and current exposure to exchange rate fluctuations is minimal.

The Company does not have any significant foreign currency denominated monetary liabilities.

The Company is exposed to currency risk to the extent that expenditures incurred by the Company are denominated in currencies other than the Canadian dollar (primarily Mexican pesos). The Company does not manage currency risk through hedging or other currency management tools.

The Company’s net exposure to foreign currency risk is as follows:

May 31, May 31, May 31, May 31,
2021 2020 2021 2020
US Dollars US Dollars Mexican Pesos Mexican Pesos
Cash $ 757 $ 21 $ - $ -
Accounts payable (94,647) (231,863) (511,559) (511,559)

11. Financial Instruments and Financial Risk (continued)

Interest rate risk

The Company is exposed to interest rate risk on the variable rate of interest earned on bank deposits. The fair value interest rate risk on bank deposits is insignificant as the deposits are short ‐ term.

The Company has not entered into any derivative instruments to manage interest rate fluctuations.

(i) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of loss associated with the counterparty’s inability to fulfill its payment obligations. Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risks consist principally of cash and receivables. To minimize the credit risk the Company places these instruments with a high quality financial institution. The Company’s receivables consist of amounts due from a former related party. Some amounts are settled past normal trade terms and in cases where amounts become uncollectible the Company recognizes bas debt expense to write off the uncollectible amounts. At May 31, 2021, the Company had $117,455 (2020 - $117,455) in amounts due from a former related party greater than 90 days and during fiscal 2021 recognized bad debt expense of $Nil.

(ii)

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 has a planning and budgeting process in place to help determine the funds required to support the Company’s normal operating requirements on an ongoing basis. The Company ensures that there are sufficient funds to meet its short-term business requirements, taking into account its anticipated cash flows from operations and its holdings of cash.

11. Financial Instruments and Financial Risk (continued)

Market Risk

Market risk is the risk that the fair value of, or future cash flows from, the Company’s financial instruments will significantly fluctuate due to changes in market prices. The value of financial instruments can be affected by changes in interest rates, foreign currency rates and other price risk.

Other price risk

Other price risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market prices, other than those arising from interest rate risk or currency risk. The Company is not exposed to other price risk.
