Stinger Resources Inc. Notes to Financial Statements June 30, 2022 and 2021
(expressed in Canadian dollars)
1 Nature of operations and going concern
Stinger Resources Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the British Columbia Business Corporations Act on September 22, 2020. The Company is engaged in the exploration and development of mineral properties in Canada and has not yet determined whether its properties contain ore reserves that are economically recoverable.
The head office and principal address of the Company is 92 – 2nd Avenue W, Cardston, AB, Canada, T0K 0K0. The Company’s registered address and records office is 1100 – 736 Granville Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, V6Z 1G3.
The Company’s shares are listed on the TSX Venture Exchange under the ticker symbol “STNG”.
The Company was formed for the primary purpose of completing a Plan of Arrangement with the Company’s former parent company, American Creek Resources Ltd. (“American Creek”) (Note 16).
Since March 2020, several measures have been implemented in Canada and the rest of the world in response to the increased impact from the novel coronavirus (COVID-19). The Company continues to operate its business at this time. While the impact of COVID-19 is expected to be temporary, the current circumstances are dynamic and the impacts of COVID-19 on business operations cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. The impact on the Company is not currently determinable but management continues to monitor the situation.
Going concern
These financial statements have been prepared using International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as they apply to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of operations. The Company is in the exploration stage and has not generated revenue from operations. The Company generated a net loss of $1,520,763 during the period ended June 30, 2022 (2021 – $1,489,940), generated negative cash flows from operating activities of $747,821 (2021 – $318,441) and, as of that date the Company’s deficit was $3,843,193 (2021 – $1,489,940) and working capital was $5,398,915 (2021 – $6,905,603). As the Company is in the exploration stage, the recoverability of the costs incurred to date on exploration properties is dependent upon the existence of economically recoverable reserves, the ability of the Company to obtain the necessary financing to complete the exploration and development of its properties and upon future profitable production or proceeds from the disposition of the properties and deferred exploration expenditures. These factors indicate the existence of material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, and accordingly, the appropriateness of the use of accounting principles applicable to a going concern.
In recognition of these circumstances, management may pursue various financial alternatives to fund the Company’s exploration and development programs, including private placements, property dispositions and settling payables for shares, so it can continue as a going concern. There is no assurance that these initiatives will be successful.
Since March 2020, several measures have been implemented in Canada and the rest of the world in response to the increased impact from the novel coronavirus (COVID-19). The Company continues to operate its business at this time. While the impact of COVID-19 is expected to be temporary, the current circumstances are dynamic and

1 Nature of operations and going concern (continued)
the impacts of COVID-19 on business operations cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. The Company anticipates this could have an adverse impact on its business, results of operations, financial position and cash flows in fiscal 2022.
These consolidated financial statements do not reflect the adjustments to the carrying values and classifications of assets and liabilities, or to the reported expenses that would be necessary if the Company were unable to realise its assets and settle its liabilities as a going concern in the normal course of operations. Such adjustments could be material.
2 Basis of preparation
Statement of compliance
The condensed interim financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”). These condensed interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting (“IAS 34”).
These interim unaudited condensed financial statements do not include all of the information required for full annual financial statements and is intended to provide users with an update in relation to events and transactions that are significant to an understanding of the changes in financial position and performance of the Company since the end of the last annual reporting period.

The accounting policies and methods of application applied by the Company in these condensed interim financial statements are the same as those applied in the Company’s most recent annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021.

(expressed in Canadian dollars)
New Standards, Amendments and Interpretations
Amendments to IFRS 3, Business Combinations (effective January 1, 2020) assist in determining whether a transaction should be accounted for as a business combination or an asset acquisition. It amends the definition of a business to include an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create goods and services provided to customers, generating investment and other income, and it excludes returns in the form of lower costs and other economic benefits. The Company does not expect this standard to impact its financial statements.
Other accounting standards or amendments to existing accounting standards that have been issued but have future effective dates are either not applicable or are not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s interim financial statements.
The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these consolidated financial statements, except as disclosed under the Standards, Amendments and Interpretations Not Yet Effective.

Fair value
IFRS 9 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the input to valuation techniques used to measure fair value as follows:
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 or indirectly; and
-
Level 3 – inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.

13 Financial Instruments (continued)
As at June 30, 2022, the Company’s financial instruments are comprised of cash, marketable securities, receivables, accounts payable and loan payable. The carrying value of cash, marketable securities, accounts payable and loan payable approximate their fair values due to the relatively short periods to maturity of these financial instruments.
Risk management
The Company’s risk exposures and the impact on the Company’s financial instruments are summarized below:
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of potential loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Company’s credit risk is limited to the carrying amount on the statement of financial position and arises from the Company’s cash and receivables.
The Company’s cash is held by a Canadian chartered bank which is a high-credit quality financial institution. The Company’s receivables primarily consist of harmonized sales tax rebates due from the Government of Canada. The Company believes credit risk to be low.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company’s approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet liabilities when due. As at June 30, 2022, the Company had a cash balance of $2,211,784 and short-term receivables of $136,755 to settle current liabilities of $78,778. The Company forecasts its cash needs on a regular basis and seeks additional financing based on those forecasts. There can be no assurance the Company will be able to obtain required financing in the future on acceptable terms. All the Company’s financial liabilities have contractual maturities of 30 days or are due on demand and are subject to normal trade terms. See note 1 for further discussion on going concern and its impact on liquidity. The Company believes liquidity risk to be moderate.
Market risk
Market risk is the risk of loss that may arise from changes in market factors such as interest rates and foreign exchange rates.
Interest rate risk
The Company’s current policy is to hold deposits in highly rated banking institutions. Interest on short and longterm debt arrangements are fixed and are specifically disclosed. Interest earned is negligible and therefore interest rate risk is low.

12 Financial Instruments (continued)
Foreign currency rate risk
The Company is domiciled in Canada and its capital is raised in Canadian dollars and does not conduct regular business in any foreign country. Therefore, foreign currency rate risk is considered low.
13 Capital management
The Company’s working capital as at June 30, 2022 was $5,398,915 (2021 – $6,905,603). The Company’s capital management objectives, policies and processes have not been changed over the periods presented. The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.
The Company manages its cash and common shares as capital. The Company manages its capital with the following objectives:
-
to ensure sufficient financial flexibility to achieve the on-going business objectives including, but not limited to pursuing the exploration of its exploration and evaluation assets, funding of future growth opportunities, and pursuit of new acquisitions; and
-
to maximize shareholder return through enhancing the share value.
The Company monitors its capital structure and makes adjustments according to market conditions in an effort to meet its objectives given the current outlook of the business and industry in general. The Company manages its capital structure by issuing new shares, adjusting capital spending or disposing of assets. In addition, management of the Company’s capital structure is facilitated through its financial and operational forecasting processes. The forecast of the Company’s future cash flows is based on estimates of commodity prices, forecast capital and operating expenditures, and other investing and financing activities or further discussed in note 1 going concern. The forecast is regularly updated based on new commodity prices and other changes, which the Company views as critical in the current environment.
