STUHINI EXPLORATION LTD. NOTES TO THE INTERIM UNAUDTED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED NOVEMBER 30, 2019 AND 2018 (UNAUDITED) (Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

==> picture [80 x 62] intentionally omitted <==

1. NATURE AND CONTINUANCE OF OPERATIONS

Stuhini Exploration Ltd. (the “Company”), was incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) on July 7, 2017. The Company is focused on acquisition, exploration, and development of mineral properties in British Columbia. On May 21, 2019, the Company’s common shares were listed on the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSX-V or the “Exchange”) under the symbol “STU”.

The Company’s head office and registered office address is 1245 W Broadway, Unit 105, Vancouver, BC V6H 1G7.

These interim financial statements have been prepared with the going concern assumption, which assumes that the Company will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and, accordingly, will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of operations. The Company’s ability to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities is dependent upon the Company obtaining the necessary financing and ultimately upon its ability to achieve profitable operations. These material uncertainties may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Failure to arrange adequate financing on acceptable terms and/or achieve profitability may have an adverse effect on the financial position, results of operations, cash flows and prospects of the Company. These financial statements do not give effect to adjustments to assets or liabilities that would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going-concern. These adjustments could be material.

2. STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE AND BASIS OF PREPARATION

a) Statement of Compliance and Basis of Presentation

These unaudited condensed interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting policies consistent with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) IAS 34 – Interim Financial Reporting as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”). The unaudited condensed interim financial statements, prepared in conformity with accounting policies consistent with IAS 34, follow the same accounting principles and methods of application as the most recent audited annual financial statements. Since the unaudited condensed interim financial statements do not include all disclosures required by the IFRS for annual financial statements, they should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited annual financial statements for the reporting period ended February 28, 2019.

b) Basis of Measurement and Use of Estimates

The unaudited condensed financial statements of the Company have been prepared on an accrual basis and are based on historical costs except for cash flow information. All amounts are expressed in Canadian dollars, the Company’s functional and reporting currency.

The preparation of financial statements in compliance with IFRS requires management to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

c) Accounting standards issued but not yet effective

A number of new accounting standards, amendments to standards, and interpretations have been issued but not yet effective up to the date of issuance of the Company's unaudited condensed interim financial statements. The Company intends to adopt the standards when they become effective. The Company has not yet determined the impact of these standards on its financial statements but does not anticipate that the impact will be significant.

Ruby Creek Property

On July 30, 2019, the Company entered into an option agreement (the "Option Agreement") with Global Drilling Solutions Inc. ("Global Drilling"), a private BC Company wholly owned by Mr. Hanslit, whereby the Company was granted a right to acquire a 100% interest in Global Drilling's Ruby Creek Property (the "Ruby Creek Property"), located in north western BC (the "Option"). The Ruby Creek Property is 26,735 hectares in size, is road accessible and is located 20 kilometres from the town of Atlin, BC. The Option Agreement was conditional on approval by the disinterested shareholders of the Company, which was received at the annual general meeting (the “AGM”) the Company held on November 28, 2019, and by the TSX Venture Exchange (the “Exchange”), which was received on December 31, 2019 (the “Approval Date”).

Based on the Option Agreement, to fully exercise its Option, the Company is required to issue a total of 7,300,000 common shares of the Company’s common stock and make cash payments for a total of $1,060,000 over a four-year term, as detailed in the table below.

5. SHARE CAPITAL (CONTINUED)

Share issuances (Continued)

The following assumptions were used to estimate the grant date fair value for the compensation options granted:

May 21, 2019
Expected Life of the Compensation Options 2 years
Risk-Free Interest Rate 1.67%
Expected Dividend Yield Nil
Expected Stock Price Volatility 100%

On September 18, 2019, the Company completed its non-brokered private placement financing by issuing 2,500,000 common shares in the capital of the Company (the “September Financing”) for gross proceeds of $470,000. As part of the September Financing, the Company issued 1,000,000 shares to a strategic investor at a discounted price of $0.17 per share. The discount to the share price, being $30,000, was determined to constitute a transaction cost and was deducted from equity in accordance with paragraph 37 of IAS32. Remaining 1,500,000 shares were issued at $0.20 per share. In addition to the discount given to a strategic investor, the Company recognized further $29,653 incurred in legal and regulatory fees as part of transaction costs.

During the nine-month period ended November 30, 2019, the Company issued a total of 410,000 shares of its common stock upon exercise of options granted to senior officers, directors, and consultants of the Company for total proceeds of $41,000. These options had an initial fair value of $17,648.

Stock purchase option compensation plan

The Company has adopted a Rolling Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”) pursuant to which options may be granted to directors, officers, employees and consultants of the Company. Under the terms of the Plan, the Company can issue a maximum of 10% of the issued and outstanding common shares at the time of the grant. Options granted under the Plan, including vesting and the term, are determined by, and at the discretion of, the Board of Directors.

On April 15, 2018, the Company granted options to acquire up to 490,000 common shares to its officers and consultants. The options were exercisable for a period expiring on July 15, 2019, at $0.10 per share. The Company recorded $21,097 as share-based compensation associated with these options, which was determined using the BlackScholes option pricing model. On July 2, 2019, the Company issued a total of 80,000 shares of its common stock upon exercise of options to acquire 80,000 shares and on July 15, 2019, a further 330,000 shares were issued on exercise of options to acquire 330,000 shares, for total proceeds of $41,000. These options had an initial fair value of $17,648. Remaining options to acquire up to 80,000 shares expired unexercised.

On June 15, 2018, the Company resolved to grant to the officers, directors, and consultants of the Company options to acquire up to 400,000 common shares. The grant of options was contingent upon the successful closing of the IPO of a total of at least 4,000,000 common shares. On June 14, 2019, the Company received approval from the TSX-V to finalize these options; the Company considered the options to acquire up to 380,000 shares of the Company at $0.20 per share to be granted; options to acquire up to 20,000 shares were forfeited in September of 2018. These options expire on May 21, 2021. During the nine-month period ended November 30, 2019, the Company recorded $2,401 as share-based compensation associated with these options, which was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model (Note 6).

8. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISKS

The Company uses the following hierarchy for determining and disclosing fair value of financial instruments:

Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. Level 2 — observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. Level 3 — unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data available, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

The Company has classified its cash as measured at fair value in the statements of financial position using level 1 inputs. Accounts payable and amounts due to related parties are classified as other liabilities, and their fair values approximate their carrying values due to the short terms to maturity.

Risk management

The Company has exposure to the following risks from its use of financial instruments: credit risk, market risk and liquidity risk. Management, the Board of Directors and the Audit Committee monitor risk management activities and review the adequacy of such activities.

Credit risk:

Credit risk is the risk of potential loss to the Company if a customer or counter party 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, which is held with a high-credit quality financial institution and amounts receivable from the Government of Canada. As such, the Company’s credit risk exposure is minimal.

Market risk:

Market risk is the risk of loss that may arise from changes in market factors such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and commodity and equity prices.

i. 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 has minimal interest rate risk as it has no interest accumulating financial assets that may become susceptible to interest rate fluctuations.

ii. Currency risk:

Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair values of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because they are denominated in currencies that differ from the respective functional currency. The Company has minimal financial risk arising from fluctuations in foreign exchange rates as the Company does not own foreign currency denominated financial assets or liabilities.

Risk management (Continued)

  • iii. Equity price risk:

Equity price risk is the risk that the fair value of equities decreases as a result of changes in the levels of equity indices and the value of individual stocks. The Company is not exposed to equity price risk as it has no investments in marketable equity securities.

Liquidity risk:

Liquidity risk is managed by ensuring sufficient financial resources are available to meet obligations associated with financial liabilities. The Company manages liquidity risk through the management of its capital structure. As at November 30, 2019, the Company had cash of $755,261 to settle current financial liabilities of $86,921. The Company will need to source funds from either loans or private placements to meet other obligations as they arise.

9. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
