Strathmore Plus Energy Corp. (formerly Rockwealth Resources Corp.) For the Period Ended October 31, 2021 TSX.V: SUU

Three months ended October 31, 2021

Net loss for the three months ended October 31, 2021 was $90,681 compared to net loss of $112,498 in the comparable period. Overall expenses decreased as a result the Company searching for a new business or mining project. Across the next few quarters, expenses will continue to be lower when compared to the comparable periods as management looks to preserve working capital.

Summary of Annual Results

The following table sets forth selected financial information with respect to the Company, which information has been derived from the financial statements of the Company for the year ended July 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company has no source of revenue, income or cash flow and is wholly dependent upon raising monies through the sale of its securities or debt to finance its business operations.

The Company received repayment of the full $250,000 note receivable during the current period.

At October 31, 2021, the Company had not achieved profitable operations, has an accumulated deficit of $63,514,512 (2021- $63,423,831), since inception a working capital deficiency of $859,938 (2021- $769,257).

The Company will, in the future, require additional funds to support its working capital requirements or for other purposes and may seek additional funds through equity funding, bank debt financing or from other sources. The availability of such funding will be dependent on a number of factors including commodity prices, stock market performance and general economic conditions. There can be no assurances that this capital will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to the Company, or at all. This creates material uncertainty which casts significant doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Adoption of New or Amended Accounting Standards

The following new standards, and amendments to standards and interpretations, are effective for the year ended July 31, 2021, and have been applied in preparing these consolidated financial statements:

IFRS 9 Financial Instruments – In July 2014, the IASB issued the final version of IFRS 9 – Financial Instruments (“IFRS 9”) to replace IAS 30 – Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement in its entirety. IFRS 9 provides a revised model for recognition and measurement of financial instruments and a single, forward-looking ‘expectedloss’ impairment model, as well as a substantially reformed approach to hedge accounting. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018. The Company adopted IFRS 9 retrospectively, without restatement of prior year consolidated financial statements.

The Company assessed that there was no significant impact to the consolidated financial statements on the adoption of classification and measurement of its financial instruments, and the classification under the new and old standard is set out below:

Financial Instrument IAS 39 IFRS 9
Cash and cash equivalents FVTPL FVTPL
Accounts payable Other financial liabilities Amortized cost
Notes payable Other financial liabilities Amortized cost
Due to relatedparties Other financial liabilities Amortized cost

Strathmore Plus Energy Corp. (formerly Rockwealth Resources Corp.) For the Period Ended October 31, 2021 TSX.V: SUU

Critical Accounting Judgments and Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the consolidated reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported years. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgments about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Critical accounting estimates are estimates and assumptions made by management that may result in material adjustments to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities within the next financial year.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and further periods if the review affects both current and future periods.

Information about critical judgments and estimates in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect of amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements is as follows:

Significant accounting estimates

  • the measurement of deferred income tax assets and liabilities; and

  • the inputs used in accounting for warrants valuation.

Significant accounting judgments

  • the assessment of indications of impairment of the mineral property and related determination of the net realizable value and write-down of the mineral property where applicable

  • the assessment of controls of subsidiaries

  • the determination of categories of financial assets and financial liabilities

  • the evaluation of the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern ; and

  • The assessment of whether an extinguishment of an existing financial liability involving a creditor that is also a direct or indirect shareholder of the Company, is one in which the creditor is also acting in its capacity as such.

Financial Risk Factors

The Company is exposed to various types of market risks including credit risk, interest rate risk, liquidity risk, and foreign exchange rate risk.

(i) Credit Risk – Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to fulfill its contractual obligations. The Company’s credit risk is associated primarily with its cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivables. The credit risk is minimized by placing cash and cash equivalents with major financial institutions. The Company’s receivables mainly consist of GST receivable which is due from the Canada Revenue Agency.

(ii) Interest Rate Risk – Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. If interest rates decrease, the Company will generate less interest revenue. Presently the Company has minimal risk of realizing a loss as a result of a decline in the fair value of its financial instruments because of the short-term nature of the investments.

(iii) Liquidity Risk – Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations when they become due. To mitigate this risk, the Company has a planning and budgeting process in place to determine the funds required to support its ongoing operations and capital expenditures. The Company ensures that sufficient funds are raised from private placements to meet its operating requirements, after taking into account

6

Strathmore Plus Energy Corp. (formerly Rockwealth Resources Corp.) For the Period Ended October 31, 2021 TSX.V: SUU

existing cash and expected exercise of share purchase warrants. The Company’s cash is held in business accounts which are available on demand for the Company’s operations. Accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and due to related parties, are due within 12 months of the dates on the statements of financial position.

(iv) Foreign Exchange Rate Risk – The Company operates in Canada and is exposed to low foreign exchange risk as the Company does not hold any foreign currency. Foreign exchange risk would arise from purchase transactions as well as financial assets and liabilities denominated in the foreign currency.

Business Risks and Uncertainties

The Company is in the business of acquiring, exploring and, if warranted, developing and exploiting natural resource properties. Due to the nature of the Company’s proposed business and the present stage of exploration of its resource assets, the following risk factors, among others, apply:

General Economic Conditions

The recent unprecedented events in global financial markets have had a profound impact on the global economy. Many industries, including the gold and base metal mining industry, are impacted by these market conditions. Some of the key impacts of the current financial market turmoil include contraction in credit markets resulting in a widening of credit risk, devaluations and high volatility in global equity, commodity, foreign exchange and precious metal markets, and a lack of market liquidity. A continued or worsened slowdown in the financial markets or other economic conditions, including but not limited to, consumer spending, employment rates, business conditions, inflation, fuel and energy costs, consumer debt levels, lack of available credit, the state of the financial markets, interest rates, and tax rates may adversely affect the Company’s growth and profitability. Specifically:

  • the volatility of precious and base metal prices may impact the Company’s future revenues, profits and cash flow

  • volatile energy prices, commodity and consumables prices and currency exchange rates impact potential production costs

  • the devaluation and volatility of global stock markets impacts the valuation of the Company’s common shares, which may impact the Company’s ability to raise funds through the issuance of equity securities

These factors, among others, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.

Share Price Volatility

During the past year, worldwide securities markets, particularly those in the United States and Canada, have experienced a high level of price and volume volatility, and the market price of securities of many companies, particularly those considered exploration or development stage companies, have experienced unprecedented declines in price which have not necessarily been related to the operating performance, underlying asset values or prospects of such companies. Most significantly, the share prices of junior natural resource companies have experienced an unprecedented decline in value and there has been a significant decline in the number of buyers willing to purchase such securities. As a consequence, despite the Company’s past success in securing significant equity financing, market forces may render it difficult or impossible for the Company to secure places to purchase new share issues at a price which will not lead to severe dilution to existing shareholders, or at all. Therefore, there can be no assurance

7

Strathmore Plus Energy Corp. (formerly Rockwealth Resources Corp.) For the Period Ended October 31, 2021 TSX.V: SUU

that significant fluctuations in the trading price of the Company’s common shares will not occur, or that such fluctuations will not materially adversely impact on the Company’s ability to raise equity funding without significant dilution to its existing shareholders, or at all.

Financing Risks

The Company has limited financial resources, has no source of operating cash flow and has no assurance that additional funding will be available to it for further exploration and development of its projects or to fulfill its obligations under any applicable agreements. Although the Company has been successful in the past in obtaining financing through the sale of equity securities, there can be no assurance that it will be able to obtain adequate financing in the future or that the terms of such financing will be favorable. Failure to obtain such additional financing could result in delay or indefinite postponement of further exploration and development of its projects with the possible loss of such properties.

Dilution to the Company’s Existing Shareholders

The Company will require additional equity financing to be raised in the future. The Company may issue securities at less than favorable terms to raise sufficient capital to fund its business plan. Any transaction involving the issuance of equity securities or securities convertible into common shares would result in dilution, possibly substantial, to present and prospective holders of common shares.

Increased Costs

Management anticipates that costs at the Company’s projects will frequently be subject to variation from one year to the next due to a number of factors, such as the results of ongoing exploration activities (positive or negative), changes in the nature of mineralization encountered, and revisions to exploration programs, if any, in response to the foregoing. In addition, exploration program costs are affected by the price of commodities such as fuel, rubber and electricity and the availability (or otherwise) of consultants and drilling contractors. Increases in the prices of such commodities or a scarcity of consultants or drilling contractors could render the costs of exploration programs to increase significantly over those budgeted. A material increase in costs for any significant exploration programs could have a notable effect on the Company’s operating funds and ability to continue its planned exploration programs.

Mining Industry is Intensely Competitive

The Company’s business of the acquisition, exploration and development of exploration and evaluation assets is intensely competitive. The Company may be at a competitive disadvantage in acquiring additional mining properties because it must compete with other individuals and companies, many of which have greater financial resources, operational experience and technical capabilities than the Company. Increased competition could adversely affect the Company’s ability to attract necessary capital funding or acquire suitable producing properties or prospects for mineral exploration in the future.

8

Strathmore Plus Energy Corp. (formerly Rockwealth Resources Corp.) For the Period Ended October 31, 2021 TSX.V: SUU

Permits and Licenses

The operations of the Company will require licenses and permits from various governmental authorities. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain all necessary licenses and permits that may be required to carry out exploration, development and mining operations at its projects, on reasonable terms or at all. Delays or a failure to obtain such licenses and permits or a failure to comply with the terms of any such licenses and permits that the Company does obtain, could have a material adverse effect on the Company.

Government Regulation

Any exploration, development or mining operations carried on by the Company will be subject to government legislation, policies and controls relating to prospecting, development, production, environmental protection, mining taxes and labour standards. In addition, the profitability of any mining prospect is affected by the market for precious and/or base metals which is influenced by many factors including changing production costs, the supply and demand for metals, the rate of inflation, the inventory of metal producing corporations, the political environment and changes in international investment patterns.

Environmental Restrictions

The activities of the Company are subject to environmental regulations promulgated by government agencies in different countries from time to time. Environmental legislation generally provides for restrictions and prohibitions on spills, releases or emissions into the air, discharges into water, management of waste, management of hazardous substances, protection of natural resources, antiquities and endangered species and reclamation of lands disturbed by mining operations. Certain types of operations require the submission and approval of environmental impact assessments. Environmental legislation is evolving in a manner which means stricter standards and enforcement, fines and penalties for non-compliance are more stringent. Environmental assessments of proposed projects carry a heightened degree of responsibility for companies and their directors, officers and employees. The cost of compliance with changes in governmental regulations has a potential to reduce the profitability of operations.

Currency Fluctuations

The Company presently maintains its accounts in Canadian dollars. Due to the nature of its proposed operations in foreign jurisdictions, the Company may also maintain accounts in foreign currencies, making it subject to foreign currency fluctuations. Such fluctuations are out of its control and may materially adversely or positively affect the Company’s financial position and results.

Surface Rights and Access

Although the Company acquires the rights to some or all of the minerals in the ground subject to the tenures that it acquires, or has a right to acquire, in most cases it does not thereby acquire any rights to, or ownership of, the surface to the areas covered by its mineral tenures. In such cases, applicable mining laws usually provide for rights of access to the surface for the purpose of carrying on mining activities, however, the enforcement of such rights through the applicable courts can be costly and time consuming. In areas where there are no existing surface rights holders, this is not usually problematic, as there are no impediments to surface access. However, in areas where there are local populations or land owners it is necessary, as a practical matter, to negotiate surface access. There can be no guarantee that, despite having the right at law to access the surface and carry on exploration and mining activities, the Company will be able to negotiate a satisfactory agreement with any such existing landowners/occupiers for such access, and therefore it may be unable to carry out mining activities. In addition, in circumstances where such access is denied, or no agreement can be reached, the Company may need to rely on the assistance of local officials or the courts in such jurisdiction. The Company has not, to date, experienced any problems in gaining access to any of its properties.

Strathmore Plus Energy Corp. (formerly Rockwealth Resources Corp.) For the Period Ended October 31, 2021 TSX.V: SUU

Exploration and Mining Risks

Fires, power outages, labour disruptions, flooding, explosions, cave-ins, landslides and the inability to obtain suitable or adequate machinery, equipment or labour are other risks involved in the operation of mines and the conduct of exploration programs. Substantial expenditures are required to establish reserves through drilling and to develop metallurgical processes, and the mining and processing facilities and infrastructure at any site chosen for mining. Although substantial benefits may be derived from the discovery of a major mineralized deposit, no assurance can be given that minerals will be discovered in sufficient quantities to justify commercial operations or that funds required for development can be obtained on a timely basis. The economics of developing exploration and evaluation assets is affected by many factors including the cost of operations, variations of the grade of ore mined, fluctuations in the price of minerals produced, costs of processing equipment and such other factors as foreign exchange, government regulations including; regulations relating to royalties, allowable production, importing and exporting of minerals and environmental protection. In addition, the grade of mineralization ultimately mined may differ from that indicated by drilling results and such differences could be material. Short term factors, such as the need for orderly development of ore bodies or the processing of new or different grades, may have an adverse effect on mining operations and on the results of operations. There can be no assurance that minerals recovered in small scale laboratory tests will be duplicated in large scale tests under on-site conditions or in production scale operations. Material changes in geological resources, grades, stripping ratios or recovery rates may affect the economic viability of projects.

Regulatory Requirements

The activities of the Company are subject to extensive regulations governing various matters, including; environmental protection, management and use of toxic substances and explosives, management of natural resources, exploration, development of mines, production and post-closure reclamation, exports, price controls, taxation, regulations concerning business dealings with indigenous peoples, labour standards on occupational health and safety, including mine safety, and historic and cultural preservation. Failure to comply with applicable laws and regulations may result in civil or criminal fines or penalties, enforcement actions thereunder, including orders issued by regulatory or judicial authorities causing operations to cease or be curtailed, and may include corrective measures requiring capital expenditures, installation of additional equipment, or remedial actions, any of which could result in the Company incurring significant expenditures. The Company may also be required to compensate those suffering loss or damage by reason of a breach of such laws, regulations or permitting requirements. It is also possible that future laws and regulations, or more stringent enforcement of current laws and regulations by governmental authorities, could cause additional expense, capital expenditures, restrictions on or suspension of the Company’s operations and delays in the exploration and development of the Company’s properties.

Limited Experience with Development-Stage Mining Operations

The Company has limited experience in placing mineral resource properties into production, and its ability to do so will be dependent upon using the services of appropriately experienced personnel or entering into agreements with other major resource companies that can provide such expertise. There can be no assurance that the Company will have available to it the necessary expertise when and if it places its resource properties into production.

Disclosure of Outstanding Share Data

The Company has 14,858,605 common shares issued and outstanding as at the date of this document. As at the date of this document, the Company has no stock options and warrants outstanding.
