STANDARD URANIUM LTD. Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements For the three months ended July 31, 2021 and 2020 (Expressed in Canadian dollars - unaudited)
1. Nature and continuance of operations
Standard Uranium Ltd. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the province of British Columbia on November 20, 2017. The Company is engaged in the exploration and evaluation of resource properties. The Company’s registered office is #2200 – 855 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6C 3E8.
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the assumption that the Company will continue as a going concern, meaning it will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize assets and discharge liabilities in the ordinary course of operations. Different bases of measurement may be appropriate if the Company is not expected to continue operations for the foreseeable future. As at July 31, 2021, the Company has not generated any revenue and has incurred losses since inception. The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent on its ability to generate future cash flows and/or obtain additional financing. Management intends to finance operating costs over the next twelve months with cash on hand, loans from directors and companies controlled by directors and/or private placements of common stock. There is a risk that additional financing will not be available on a timely basis or on terms acceptable to the Company. These factors indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These consolidated financial statements do not reflect any adjustments that may be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared coronavirus COVID-19 a global pandemic. This contagious disease outbreak, which has continued to spread, and any related adverse public health developments, has adversely affected workforces, economies, and financial markets globally, potentially leading to an economic downturn. The Company’s operations have not been drastically impacted by the pandemic. Management of the Company continues to monitor the situation and is following the protocols and rules set in place by the provincial and federal governments.
2. Significant accounting policies
These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) 34, Interim Financial Reporting , as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosure normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) have been omitted or condensed, and therefore these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s April 30, 2021 audited annual consolidated financial statements and the notes to such financial statements.
These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Control exists when the Company has the power, directly or indirectly, to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. Inter-company balances and transactions, and any unrealized income and expenses arising from inter-company transactions, are eliminated in preparing the condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

| Name of subsidiary | Place of incorporation Ownership interest |
|---|---|
| Standard Uranium (Saskatchewan) Ltd. Standard Uranium Holdings(Saskatchewan)Ltd. |
Saskatchewan 100% Canada 100% |
These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements are based on the IFRS issued and effective as of September 27, 2021 the date these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements were authorized for issuance by the Company’s Board of Directors, and follow the same accounting policies and methods of computation as the most recent annual consolidated financial statements.
3. Effect of voluntary change in accounting policy
Effective May 1, 2020, as permitted under IFRS 6, Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral Resources, the Company voluntarily changed its accounting policy for its exploration and evaluation (“E&E”) expenditures, to capitalize the expenditures to the consolidated statements of financial position, while previously all of the E&E expenditures were expensed in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss in the year in which they were incurred.
The Company has determined that this voluntary change in accounting policy enhances the reliability of the consolidated financial statements. The Company determined that reflecting the E&E expenditures on the consolidated statements of financial position, and as part of investing activities on the consolidated statement of cash flows, better reflects the economic substance of its operations. The change in accounting policy has been applied retrospectively.
A reconciliation of the prior periods presented from the previously reported amounts to the restated amounts is as follows:

7. Exploration and evaluation assets
The Company has acquired an option to acquire 90% interest in the Davidson River Property (the “Property”) for an aggregate sum of $1,000,000 and the issuance of 1,000,000 common shares of the Company.

In addition, the Company has the right to acquire the remaining 10% interest in the Property for the sum of $10,000,000 if exercised within one year of March 1, 2018, and increased thereafter by inflation, expiring February 28, 2028.

8. Flow-through share premium liability
- a) On July 16, 2020, the Company completed a public offering of securities whereby the Company issued 11,715,000 flow-through units for gross proceeds of approximately $2,577,300. Each flowthrough unit consisted of one flow-through common share and one or one-half share purchase warrant exercisable at a price of $0.30 per common share for a period of three years (Note 9(c)). The flow-through shares were issued at a premium of $0.02 per flow-through share, calculated as the difference in the price per flow-through unit and the price of a standard unit sold as part of the same offering, as tax deductions generated by the eligible expenditures will be passed through to the shareholders of the flow-through shares once the eligible expenditures are incurred and renounced.
The total flow-through share premium liability related to the 11,715,000 flow-through shares was calculated to be $234,300 and represents the Company’s obligation to spend $2,577,300 on eligible expenditures, which the Company is expected to incur before December 31, 2022 under the general rule and December 31, 2021 under the look-back rule.

8. Flow-through share premium liability (continued)
- b) On October 21, 2020, the Company completed a public offering of securities whereby the Company issued 10,241,000 flow-through units for gross proceeds of approximately $2,253,020. Each flow-through unit consisted of one flow-through common share and one or one-half share purchase warrant exercisable at a price of $0.30 per common share for a period of three years(Note 9(f)). The flow-through shares were issued at a premium of $0.02 per flow-through share, calculated as the difference in the price per flow-through unit and the price of a standard unit sold as part of the same offering, as tax deductions generated by the eligible expenditures will be passed through to the shareholders of the flow-through shares once the eligible expenditures are incurred and renounced.
The total flow-through share premium liability related to the 10,241,000 flow-through shares was calculated to be $204,820 and represents the Company’s obligation to spend $2,253,020 on eligible expenditures.
Expenditures related to the use of flow-through unit proceeds are included in exploration and evaluation assets, but are not available as a tax deduction to the Company as the tax benefits of these expenditures are renounced to the investors.
During the three months ended July 31, 2021, the Company incurred the remaining eligible expenditures and therefore as of July 31, 2021, the entire flow-through liability was settled.

Options (continued):
At July 31, 2021, the Company had outstanding stock options exercisable to acquire common shares of the Company as follows:
| Weighted average | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| remaining | |||
| contractual life | |||
| Expiry date | Options outstanding | Exercise price | (years) |
| May 4, 2030 | 1,750,000 | $ 0. 15 | 8.76 |
| July 2, 2025 | 3,230,000 | $ 0. 20 | 3.92 |
| January 5, 2021 | 750,000 | $ 0. 20 | 3.44 |
| June 1, 2026 | 1,325,000 | $ 0. 25 | 4.84 |
| December 1,2021 | 60,000 | $ 0. 25 | 0.34 |
The Company calculates the fair value of the stock options granted using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Black-Scholes option pricing model inputs for options granted and vested during the year ended July 31, 2021 are as follows:
| Exercise | Risk-Free | Expected | Volatility | Dividend | Fair | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Grant Date | Expiry Date | Price | Interest Rate | Life | Factor | Yield | Value |
| June 1, 2021 | June 1, 2026 | $0.25 | 0.51% | 3 years | 72% | 0% | $0.11 |
| June 1, 2021 | December 1, 2021 |
$0.25 | 0.32% | 0.5 years | 80% | 0% | $0.05 |

11. Financial instruments and risks
- (a) Fair values
The fair value of accounts payable approximates its carrying values due to the short-term to maturities of the financial instrument.
- (b) Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company is not exposed to interest rate risk.
- (c) Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will fail to discharge an obligation and cause the other party to incur a financial loss. The Company’s primary exposure to credit risk is in its cash. The risk in cash is managed through the use of a major financial institution which has a high credit quality as determined by rating agencies. Credit risk is assessed as low.
- (d) Foreign exchange rate risk
Foreign exchange risk is the risk that the Company’s financial instruments will fluctuate in value as a result of movements in foreign exchange rates. The Company has no assets or liabilities denominated in foreign currencies; therefore, is not exposed to foreign exchange risk.
- (e) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they become due. The Company requires funds to finance its business development activities. In addition, the Company needs to raise equity financing to carry out its exploration programs. There is no assurance that financing will be available or, if available, that such financings will be on terms acceptable to the Company. Liquidity risk is assessed as high.
- (f) Price risk
The Company is exposed to price risk with respect to commodity prices. The Company’s ability to raise capital to fund exploration and development activities is subject to risks associated with fluctuations in the market price of commodities.
12. Capital management
The Company’s capital structure consists of cash and share capital. The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it, based on the funds available to the Company, in order to support acquisition and exploration of resource properties. The Board of Directors does not establish quantitative return on capital criteria for management, but rather relies on the expertise of the Company’s management to sustain future development of the business. The Company is dependent on external financing to fund its activities. In order to carry out exploration and pay for administrative costs, the Company will spend its existing working capital and raise additional amounts as needed. The Company will continue to assess new exploration and evaluation assets and seek to acquire interests in properties if it feels there is sufficient geologic or economic potential and if it has adequate financial resources to do so. Management reviews its capital management approach on an ongoing basis and believes that this approach, given the relative size of the Company, is reasonable. There were no changes in the Company’s approach to capital management since inception. The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements.
